Oklahoma at Iowa State

Typically when the gates open at Jack Trice Stadium Saturday, a swarm of students come running through the gates to secure seats. The athletic department opens the stadium up an hour and a half prior to kickoff. For the Cyclone’s 11:30 a.m. matchup with No. 5 Oklahoma, I could almost single handedly count the amount of fans that came through save seats.
Maybe it’s another early morning game. Maybe it’s the fact that another rising BCS team is in town. Maybe it’s because there is almost more Sooner fans in town than Iowa State fans. Oklahoma fans had their own tent set up outside of Jack Trice Stadium.
The real question is how many fans are going to be running away from their seats at the end of the game. During the Cyclone’s 56-3 loss to Texas, traffic was stopped outside of Jack Trice Stadium during the third quarter with fans trying to get home.
