Even during a year where the Iowa wrestling program’s home schedule didn’t feature too many high-profile teams, the fans still filled up Carver-Hawkeye Arena in support.
The Hawkeyes led all Division I wrestling programs in home attendance, averaging 8,526 fans over seven home meets, according to data compiled by Alex Steen and Jason Bryant of Mat Talk Online. It marks the 13th straight season Iowa has led the country in home attendance.
Iowa’s 2018-19 schedule, on the whole, wasn’t loaded with many of college wrestling’s super programs.
