Iowa State vs. Iowa tickets for Week 2: Best prices, seats, date for 2025 college football rivalry game

One of the best rivalries in college football will be renewed in early September when the Iowa Hawkeyes visit the Iowa State Cyclones at Jack Trice Stadium in Ames. Iowa has historically owned this rivalry, but Iowa State has won two of the past three meetings and many analysts expect this year's matchup to be tightly contested from opening kick to final whistle. 

As you might expect, tickets have been selling quickly for this event throughout the summer. These schools are just a two-hour drive from one another, so both squads should be well-represented for this one. Iowa has gone most of the summer as 2.5-point favorites to win this latest iteration of the Cy-Hawk game.

Iowa has finished with double-digit wins 11 different times, and a whopping eight of those 11 times have been under current head coach Kirk Ferentz. The guy always gets the most out of his team, and quality bowl games have become the yearly expectation, not the hope. The Hawkeyes are disciplined in terms of penalties and turnovers, and many like this program to make the college football playoff in the 2025-26 campaign. 

Of course, Iowa will more than likely need to beat Iowa State to get there. That has proven to be a more difficult task than it was in the past. The Cyclones enjoyed a stellar 2024 regular season under coach Matt Campbell, finishing with double-digit wins for the first time in the program's history. It has experienced some turnover, but the culture of winning should remain intact for Iowa State in 2025-26.
