Iowa tickets - NIU seats
Hi everyone - NIU alum here - long- time reader, first post.
Wife and I are planning on making the trip to Iowa City to cheer on our Huskies. Due to monetary constraints I’m looking at getting tickets on StubHub. For those who got tickets through NIU, would you mind sharing where you’re sitting (when you know)? I’d like to try to get near some Huskies fans, if possible. Sat with a sea of Iowa fans at Soldier Field in 2012 so know what that’s like (what a frustrating finish).
Thanks!

I want to say in 2013 it was in the Section 107-110 range perhaps? Most of the seats were in the lowest 15 rows of those sections if I remember. They have a smattering in other parts and strategic placement in longer narrower sections outside of that. Not sure if they have changed visitor allotment location since then.

I could’ve sworn I was in the 101 or 102 (right side of NIU sideline) in 2013 through the school. First few rows.

Iowa does kind of spread out the fans, I know there was seating on the opposite end of the stadium too that you are referring to. That was kind of a longer skinnier section I believe?

There are two sections. A small thin section running all along the sideline behind the NIU bench, only a coup, of rows deep. There is a second section up into the corner of one of the end zones.

I ordered through NIU, don’t have tickets yet. And actually haven’t been asked to pay for them yet though it sounds like all orders put in before the April 28th deadline would be fulfilled. They were $50 through NIU. Looks like you can get them for $30 on Stubhub, probably $35-$40 with Stubhub fees, not that big of a savings to sit in the middle of Iowa fans.

110 is their primary visitors section. That was the main NIU section last game. Lower sections of 109 maybe 108 to lesser extent. I was 108 or 109 (Stubhub) 2nd row from top (glad I was due to 105+ heat index) and could see them to side, below. Maybe a few in 101, which look the norm from Kinnick pics.
