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.
