Season tickets are sold out for all 2022-23 Iowa men’s wrestling home meets, the UI athletics department announced Wednesday.

Last year’s season tickets also sold out before the schedule began.

The Hawkeyes averaged a sellout and NCAA-record-setting total of 14,905 fans during home meets in 2021-22, and the program has led the nation in attendance every year since 2006-07 when Tom Brands took over as head coach.

Iowa’s projected 2022-23 lineup will include six All-Americans: three-time 125-pound national champion Spencer Lee, Stanford transfer 141-pounder Real Woods, 149-pounder Max Murin, 184-pounder Abe Assad, 197-pound 2021 NCAA runner-up Jacob Warner, and heavyweight Tony Cassioppi.
