Iowa wrestling leads the nation in fan attendance again, sets new national record

The Iowa wrestling program led the nation in wrestling fan attendance again during the 2021-22 season. That's not the surprising part, as the Hawkeyes have led the nation in home fan attendance every year since 2007.

The surprising part, or perhaps more impressive, is that Iowa set a new record for average home attendance, according to figures tracked by the National Wrestling Media Association.

The Hawkeyes sold out all six home duals during the 2021-22 season, good for an average of 14,905. That was far and away the highest average in the country.
