Football hillside tickets still available to students

Daily Staff

The ISU athletic department announced Tuesday that the $99 hillside tickets remain available for purchase. 

Hillside tickets are now the primary option for admittance during the 2012 season after student season tickets sold out earlier this month.

The athletic department announced Aug. 7 that they had sold out the student ticket package, the earliest they had ever done so. 

That record came following record attendance during the 2011 season, as the Cyclones drew more than 50,000 fans for each home game.

The capacity for student season tickets at Jack Trice Stadium this season was 7,900. 

With the availability of hillside tickets, students can still be guaranteed entrance during the 2012 season with the option to sit on any of the stadium’s four hills.

The Cyclones will open their 2012 season on Sept. 1 against Tulsa in Ames.
