Congrats! Steve Schofield said on Twitter this morning that we've surpassed the 1,000 mark in NEW football season tickets sold. That is awesome.

That is great news! My wife and I have never needed to buy season tickets before as we always had student tickets in the past. Figured we should fork over some money to watch us on the road to Frisco this year!!!

This is GREAT news! Dome should be solid this year. Can't wait to "welcome" the Bizon to town.

Speaking of which, last night one of the Fox Sports channels replayed the UNI - Bison game from last year. I can't recall seeing a lot of FCS games replayed on a regional or national sports network, especially from the season prior.

I believe they said at media day that there had been about 5300 season tickets sold, and I'm sure that number has gone up in the couple weeks since then.

ok so doesn't really sound like our number of season ticket holders went up by 1,000 just that 1,000 people got season tickets that didn't last year. Was thinking we were around 5,000 last year.

Great thought and I am right there with you, the road to Frisco and beyond...

BTW, we got our tickets yesterday, but they messed up our order. So we called them and now we have two seats not with the rest of our group, but that is OK because we get to see our team play.

And this is before we win in Iowa City! Imagine what will happen to ticket sales when that happens.

Hey if you think I have an attitude, maybe you should look a little closer to the poster I made up (post#1).

Let the attitude catch fire and let it grow... Choo-choo all the way...

Re: 2014 Season outlook-countdown

I believe Farley was quoted after the last scrimmage as saying 3 or 4 true freshman would play this year and if the scrimmage was an indication, Fountain will be one of them. BTW, he went to school with a friend's daughter and they had only good things to say about MF. Sounds like a great kid.
