IOWA CITY — Just like everything else in 2020, the upcoming college football bowl season will be an unconventional one for Iowa and Iowa State fans — even as many experience the typical enthusiasm over bowl invites for the Hawkeyes and Cyclones.
For starters, due to COVID-19 concerns and restrictions, far fewer fans will be traveling to the game destinations — with the University of Iowa bound for Nashville and the Dec. 30 Music City Bowl and Iowa State University headed to Glendale, Ariz., for the Jan. 2 Fiesta Bowl.
The PlayStation Fiesta Bowl is not permitting any general admission to the game “due to the COVID-19 pandemic” — meaning only families of student-athletes and coaches can attend.
