I’m going to repeat my headline because it warrants the repetition, but for the 13th consecutive year, the University of Iowa Wrestling program has led the NCAA in fan attendance.
The Hawkeyes amassed a total of 59,684 fans storming the gates of Carver Hawkeye-Arena for an average of 8,526.3 per event. Here’s a quick look at those amazing numbers.
Mind you, we only had seven home duals this year and it wasn’t a particularly fun home schedule at that. We averaged 8,500+ fans without the alluring appeal of powerhouse programs like PSU, Michigan, OSU, or even OKST stepping foot in CHA.
