How many fewer Iowa fans were at Saturday's game compared to the last years in the MetroDome?
I think it was the game in 2006 at the dome, I was sitting next to this Iowa fan and she asked if we were really planning on building a new on-campus stadium. I said yes, we were. She asked how big it was going to be, I said about 50,000. She shook her head and said this is a real drag, because with the dome, Iowa fans knew they could come up at will and know they'd get tickets in the 65,000 seat dome.
I just smiled, and it helped re-enforced in my mind why we needed to get out of the dome.
