No increase to Hawkeye season ticket prices for 2017

TAMPA, Fla. – A general-public season ticket for Iowa football games will be $405 for the seven-game 2017 schedule, same as it was this season, the university announced prior to Monday's Outback Bowl.

Faculty/staff prices will be steady at $335, and students are $150 for the home schedule that includes five 2016 postseason participants.

While big-game draws Iowa State, Wisconsin, Michigan and Nebraska fall off the schedule, two others come aboard: Penn State (Sept. 23) and Ohio State (Nov. 4).

The Hawkeyes' other home games: Wyoming (Sept. 2), North Texas (Sept. 16), Illinois (Oct. 7), Minnesota (Oct. 28) and Purdue (Nov. 18).

The season-ticket renewal process will begin online Tuesday, the UI announced, with paper applications being mailed Feb. 1. The deadline for renewals is March 31.

One other wrinkle: Ticket holders in the North End Zone will not be affected for the 2017 season, but will be in 2018 by the planned renovation project. For more information, visit KinnickEdge.org.
