Football 2015: Bring it on!

Re: Football 2015: Bring it on!

Is anyone aware of any other Division I program that allows people to leave the stadium at halftime and then return for the second half?

Iowa State.

Last I'd heard, Iowa State hadn't sent them up here yet.

Ok but that begs the question: Why not wait? I need the ISU ticket before the season tickets anyway.

Because other fans get antsy for their season tix.

Just wait until they try to tell that big group of boosters that set up right across the street that they can't go outside at halftime. That ought to go well for them...

agreed, football revenue and game day atmosphere have been on the rise for the last five years, lets change something.... wtf?

Was this decision made by the same person who thought it would be a good idea to block out the sun by duck taping about a hundred garbage bags to the windows of our brand new $26MM basketball arena?

I somewhat disagree with you. Tailgating and the atmosphere outside the Dome have improved dramatically. Inside the Dome has slightly done the opposite in my opinion and I do believe one has something to do with the other. Hard to have a ton of electricity inside when half the fans are outside.

I have a bunch of Iowa State season tickets. Last week, they told me they would be sent this week, but I live in Ames and haven't gotten them yet. My guess is that they will arrive by the end of the week.

P.S. We are thinking about serving pulled pork Carolina (Panther) style with purple cole slaw on it!

Oddly enough, one of the other changes in gameday rules is that tailgaters in the PSC lots (and only the PSC lots) are now allowed to tailgate during the game (where as tailgating is officially prohibited in other lots during the game).

Why would you want to tailgate during the game? Just stay the heck home if you're not wanting to watch the game.

Maybe they can move the tailgaters further away from the Dome so that those of us who want to go to the game can get there easier and won't have to deal with drunk morons taking up three parking spaces with one truck.

See, now I knew SOMEONE would come up with a worse idea than the no re-entry rule. It could be worse, everyone!

I actually think this will probably retain a few people for the second half, but not enough to notice. The students aren't leaving and coming back. They're just leaving.

This isn't a "new" problem at UNI. Back in the early 90s during the Terry Allen heyday of winning the Dome would empty in the 2nd half...especially students. I think games were at 6:30 then. As a student who always stayed to the buzzer we had our pick of seats in the 4th quarter!

-Parents with younger kids who don't have the attention span to sit through a whole game, but enjoy watching the Panthers and being a part of the excitement of game-day. These parents want to introduce theirs kids to UNI athletics at a young age in the hopes they will grow to enjoy watching the Panthers play, but understand sometimes kids just want to be kids.

-Older folks who have good days and bad days, and sometimes one of the bad days just happens to surface in the middle of a football game (anybody with a grandparent or parent with senior health issues knows what I'm talking about).

-Blowouts. Sometimes I'd rather leaver early to spend the afternoon in the sun playing bags and drinking a nice cold Coors Light than watch the last 15 minutes of a 59-0 trouncing over Central State.

ISU tickets to ship out early next week. Be interested to see the attendance after their seating expansion.…would love it to beat out the Iowa game

Somebody on CF said there were about 1000 tix left for the UNI game and 75 tix left for the Iowa game. (A couple days ago)
If I'm a betting man, both games will be a sellout of 61,500.
