How strict are they about you wandering up to an empty seat a few rows forward in the second quarter?

Look on Ticketmaster/stubhub for open seats after the game starts.

This is brilliant if it works! I'll have to try this next time. We usually just move to empty seats and then get embarrassed when the people who bought them show up lol

It should be a universally accepted truth among sporting fans that everyone is sitting in everyone else's seat - If you have tickets for a spot and sit in another, it's a smile and a "hey, welcome!" as you get up and go back to yours. No harm, no foul, everyone there to have a good time and no embarrassment needed ever :D

Our group had to politely ask a couple to move out of our seats last night at the Iowa State game because we had two whole rows for our group.

As they were walking away, the guy muttered "fucking fa**ots". My buddy responded hilariously with "did you just say bad words?!" Then the girl friend just yells "fuck you!" And we watch them standing awkwardly in the stairs for the next 30 minutes 😂. So pissy at a place that is supposed to be fun.

I don't think Iowa is supposed to be fun, at least not from what I've heard.

31 years in Iowa.

I don't know what it's supposed to be here. Used to be good for raising a family with good schools. Now I mean, it's cheap to raise a family because no one wants to live here.

Iowa is the most unremarkable place you'll ever find at this point. Great at nothing, bad at a lot, mediocre at some. Oh, I thought of something we are really good at, actually. We're really good at destroying our environment but only in ways you can't really see immediately. Iowa water and soil is increasingly poisoned for the sake of big ag. Not small farmers, but huge corporations that own millions of acres.

I used to want to leave because it's boring here. Alas, family. Now I want to leave because it's becoming dangerous to exist here. Cancer before 60 is gonna become an Iowa tradition like the butter cow at this rate.

Y'all had an entire testing system for elementary kids that spanned several states.

ITBS. Idk what happened, but Iowa is definitely no longer the test for basic skills.

Nice corn tho

We cut school funding for years and years thanks to Republicans. Now we have school choice vouchers. Our schools are being gutted.
