ISU requires season tickets for seat to NU game on Oct. 18

AMES, Iowa (AP) Iowa State fans will again have to buy season tickets to get a seat for the Cyclones' top home matchup.

As it did for last year's game with Iowa at Jack Trice Stadium, Iowa State will not offer single-game stadium seating for the Nebraska game Oct. 18. Hillside tickets, however, will be available for $60. That option was not offered for the Iowa game.

"If you want to sit in a seat you have to buy a season ticket," said Steve Malchow, Iowa State's senior associate athletics director. "You can't afford to let your fans cherry pick one game. You have to sell season tickets."

The strategy seemed to work last season for Iowa State, which sold a school-record 36,610 season tickets.

Season tickets to ISU's six home games this year will cost $350 and may include a mandatory donation to the National Cyclone Club depending on the seat location.

Nebraska is guaranteed 4,000 tickets it sells to its fans. Those will cost $90 each, same as Iowa fans paid last season for their tickets.

Attendance for ISU-Nebraska games in Ames have topped 50,000 three of the last four meetings.

ISU opens its season Aug. 28 against South Dakota State.
