Iowa women’s basketball looks to be a few months away from breaking an NCAA record.
Chad Leistikow of The Des Moines Register shared Friday that Iowa is nearing 36,000 tickets sold for the Oct. 15 exhibition game at Kinnick Stadium against DePaul. The NCAA record for a women’s game is 29,619 fans, at the 2002 Women’s Final Four in San Antonio.
Per UI, ticket sales as of this morning are nearing 36,000 for the “Crossover at Kinnick” Iowa women’s basketball exhibition for Oct. 15 vs. DePaul. NCAA attendance record is 29,619. (Need good weather on that Sunday afternoon in Iowa City.)

Hawkeyes fans are excited for another season of Caitlin Clark and company dominating on the hardwood. The 2023-24 season is sold out at home, the program recently announced.
Clark enters the season as a national superstar. She’s the 2-time defending B1G Player of the Year and swept the sport’s major individual awards this past year.
Iowa is scheduled to play Virginia Tech on Nov. 9 in Charlotte as part of the Ally Tipoff.
