Hy-Vee buys 1,000 UNI tickets!

Check this out:

"Already, Farley said, plans to fill the Dome are proceeding briskly. He said Northern Iowa athletic director Rick Hartzell announced today that local Hy-Vee stores had purchased 1,000 tickets, and ticket office phones were ringing away."

Are they making up for not including UNI in the CY-Hawk series??

The state of Iowa seems to be, at least to an extent, rallying around our Panthers. Now just imagine what it will be like when we finally punch that ticket to Chatanooga...

While I still think it's good for us that we aren't on TV this weekend, it's almost too bad...the ratings would be fantastic I think.

It is too bad that it couldn't be on statewide. I think this will be close to a sell out either way and extra exposure is always good. Especially when we put a whippin' on those skinny dogs...

You gotta wonder if Hy-Vee bought these tickets because of all of the grief they took for excluding UNI from the Cy-Hawk competition?

I doubt it since my guess is that the local Hy Vee's bought the tickets and not corporate. Corporate Hy Vee setup the Cy-Hawk series. The local stores have been really good to Panther athletics.

I said this in another thread, but I heard that Hy-Vee was selling these tickets for $3.

Correct JC

3 bucks is just fabulous....for games like this, just get them in the door. might not make much more on your gate with an increased crowd, but it will make a difference. also, just take the basic plan of getting them in and then make some cash on concessions. could be a great day for the department and the football team...

i was at hy-vee this morning to buy some tickets and they were out but said that they were going to be 300 more!!! i have a great feeling about saturday!!

[#1pantherfan]

great news to hear!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Newsbreaker]

Remember, that 1000 that HyVee has would already be counted in the 14000 or so we've heard have sold. Now if they're getting 300 more, that will come out of the 2500ish that are left.

Anyone hear anything about walkup sales today with the HS games?

[NoPlaceLikeDome]

While it is fantastic this game is selling so well, what about the students who get in free with their ID? Is there a chance that many of them will be turned away because they didn't buy a ticket?

[Panthers to the Bone]

Unless the students come out in larger numbers than ever heard of, no, they won't have problems. 17,000 is standing room max also (or so I have heard).

[Newsbreaker]

I think the number's we've been hearing are including a 'normal' student turnout...now if they come up in huge numbers (and I think they might) it will be an absolute ZOO in there.
