With this start time, if we can beat Wisconsin this weekend ... I will be bold and predict an attendance of over 55,000. If we beat Wisconsin and Iowa ... I'll go bolder and say we sell out vs. Minnesota on Homecoming the next weekend!Hopefully the late kickoff will help attendance numbers.
I think people are underestimating how much the face value ticket prices suck. $75 a ticket against Iowa in the horseshoe that is 1/3 full right now? Ridiculous. People are struggling with inflation, and it is hard to see a lot of families dropping $300 on tickets, let alone other costs. It is time for the DIA to release some packages to spur some action.With this start time, if we can beat Wisconsin this weekend ... I will be bold and predict an attendance of over 55,000.

Struggling? As in needing to cut costs? The lines at the Starbucks in my middle class town haven't changed a bit.I think people are underestimating how much the face value ticket prices suck. $75 a ticket against Iowa in the horseshoe that is 1/3 full right now?

Ah yes, because I always have to budget out for my $75 Starbucks drinkStruggling? As in needing to cut costs? The lines at the Starbucks in my middle class town haven't changed a bit.
I’ve been there brother. It’s rough.I appreciate the best guess feedback from many when I asked what people thought he game time would be. Even though I am still looking forward to attending, I now have some tickets I will not be able to use. I will also be purchasing a night in a !!!!!! overpriced hotel room. Since this was to include some of my kids (with little ones) they will not be able to pull it off. So to all those jackasses that gave me !!!! for my inquiry a few weeks ago, you can all kiss my !!!. I hope the Illini kick Wisconsin's butt and there is a rush for Iowa tickets. If that happens, hit me up, but I probably won't sell for less than face value just out of principle. If it sounds like I'm pissed and overreacting, you would be right. To those that do not understand what it is like to schedule a family event that involves 3 married children that include 5 grandchildren, if you are lucky, you will learn. Until then, once again, kiss my !!!.

Bit of an overreaction by him though.
