Iowa is looking to get back to Indianapolis as B1G West champions in 2022. Once again, the Hawkeyes will try to ride a dominant defense with a host of veterans returning.

Along the way, Iowa will play 7 home games on the schedule in 2022. Kinnick Stadium traditionally proves to be a tough venue for opposing teams to get a win, and that should be the case once again.

A big reason is Iowa selling out every home game on the schedule heading into the fall, the team announced Wednesday afternoon. It is the first time since 2011 that Iowa has sold out every home game.

Embarrassing. TWO lower level SIDELINE season tickets for $99.99.

They'll make it up on concessions and parking.  Schiano is building something here.

I do not understand why Iowa is selling out. I have low expectations for this season of Iowa football. Iowa doubled down on the offensive coordinator who now is QBs coach and he has no experience as a QBs coach, or as a QB. 
The QB is a 5th year senior but he relies on a great defense to win games, not on his offensive capability. The O-Line is fairly young. WRs Tyrone Tracey and Charlie Jones transferred to Purdue. The transfers know something about the capability of the Iowa offense that led to their transfers. I am pessimistic, but hopeful Iowa can achieve 7-5.

well, winning the west had to help

did the AD do anything different with ticket pricing or packages this fall

donor levels, parking, add pre or post game events?

stadium seating decrease?

According to Front Office Sports, NBS Sports is potentially looking to make the B1G as big as the NFL as they could make a package with the NFL for Sunday Night Football. NBC is pitching a triple-header coverage of B1G on Saturday on Fox, CBS, and NBC all day and night, followed by “Sunday Night Football” to conclude the weekend.

The B1G’s ongoing media rights negotiations are expected to conclude in the near future and should be huge for the conference. Most recent reports indicate the deal could be worth up to $1.25 billion with a host of networks and digital partners hoping to land a deal alongside FOX Sports.

“The Big Ten would have exposure in every TV home,” said one source. “It would also be a smart idea to follow the model of the most successful sports league in America.”

No stadium seating decrease since the North End Zone rebuild about 4-years ago decreased seating by about 1,000.
This article headline suggests it has the answer to why, but is incomprehensible. Why the Iowa Hawkeyes have sold out every home football game in 2022 (yahoo.com) I suspect after articles were released in the Des Moines Register that 3-games were sold out, and others had about 3-4,000 tickets available that panic developed amongst people who can't figure out there are always tickets available, somehow, and then every game sold out.
I have no idea why, because I am more confident in Scott Frost shocking the Big Ten West with a run at the divisional championship, than I am with Iowa repeating as Big Ten West champion.

I wonder how this will impact Notre Dame's attempt to squeeze $75 million per year out of NBC.
