The National Wrestling Media Association released the top attendance figures for the 2019-20 season, and — surprise, surprise — people in Iowa love to watch wrestling.
All three of Iowa's Division I wrestling programs ranked in the top-13 nationally in attendance in 2019-20. Iowa ranked first, again, while the Cyclones ranked third and Northern Iowa ranked 13th.
The Hawkeyes led the nation for the 14th-straight season, all during head coach Tom Brands' tenure. Iowa brought in 87,979 total fans to seven home meets, good for an average of 12,568.4 — almost 5,000 ahead of second-place Penn State.
