It’s the midsummer drag as far as news from the Iowa football team.

However, Iowa did announce it’s three-game ticket packages for the season, which means football season is getting at least a bit closer.

The packages for the 2016 football season go on sale next week (starting June 27) and will end 10 days later, on July 6.

Basically, the package includes the season-opener with Miami (Ohio) and two games from separate groups.

The “A” group of selections includes North Dakota State, Northwestern, and Nebraska. The “B” group includes Iowa State, Wisconsin, and Michigan.

Personally, my choice of games would be Northwestern and Michigan — the game with the Wildcats is going to be entertaining than people are going to give it credit for.

And don’t overthink it. Get the Michigan ticket.

The cost of package runs at $195 per ticket, with around 1,500 seats per each of the games being reserved for the packages.
