The ISU football team has entered an agreement to play seven games during the next 11 seasons with in-state rival Northern Iowa, according to a news release.
Iowa State, which leads the all-time series 20-4-3, will host the Panthers in 2013, ’15, ’16, ’17, ’19, ’21 and ’23.
“We are excited to extend our contract with UNI because our games have been some of the best attended contests in Jack Trice Stadium history,” said ISU Athletic Director Jamie Pollard in a news release. “Our fans have enjoyed this intrastate series.”
It was a 24-13 loss to Northern Iowa that Iowa State set its all-time attendance record of 56,795 in 2007.
