The Iowa football team’s battle for the Cy-Hawk Trophy against Iowa State might be in Ames this season, but a student organization is taking steps to see the stands in Jack Trice Stadium have a healthy dose of Black and Gold.

The Hawks Nest, the Iowa Athletics Department’s official student section, will charter a bus so interested Hawkeye fans can attend the game on Sept. 10.

Tickets will go on sale at the IMU Box Office at 10 a.m. Aug. 29.

The $65 price tag includes one round-trip seat on the charter bus and a ticket to the game. The package is only available to current Iowa students, and buyers must show current student IDs. The Box Office will only accept cash, credit, or debit cards, and tickets to the game will be distributed on the bus en route to Ames.

Attendees must ride the bus both to and from the game; those with questions should email the Hawks Nest executive board at [email protected].

The Hawks Nest will release details about similar bus trips to Purdue on Nov. 19, to wrestling meets, and to basketball games at a later date.
