Thanks in large part to a dramatic increase in student attendance, Indiana University football will average over 40,000 fans per game, including over 10,000 students for the first time in 17 years, Indiana Vice President and Director of Intercollegiate Athletics Fred Glass announced today. IU has averaged 40,478 fans per game through its first five home contests, and ticket sales for the home finale against Purdue already exceed 40,000, thus ensuring the plus-40,000 milestone, including over 10,000 student tickets.

Head Coach Bill Lynch met with members of the media on Tuesday to discuss last week’s game against Penn State and to look forward to Saturday’s Old Oaken Bucket game against Purdue. Coach Lynch was joined by Vice President and Director of Athletics Fred Glass, seniors Rodger Saffold, Jammie Kirlew and Bryan Payton and junior Ben Chappell.

The high school football season has ended for all but one team in the Valley.
