Would you pay $190 for the worst seat in Kinnick Stadium to see Ohio State-Iowa?

Well, one of the worst seats, anyhow.
I took a little visit to Stubhub.com to see what the prices were for the Nov. 20 Ohio State-Iowa football game. You know, the potential Game of the Year/Decade/Century/Millennium.
The lowest-priced ticket was $190, located in an end zone, in the northeast corner of the stadium.
Repeat, $190.
That's the low-end price. For Rows 73 and 74 close to the middle of the grandstand on the press box side of the stadium, tickets are going for $460 a throw.
And someone is trying to move a pair of end zone seats for $399 each.
Incredible.
The cheapest seats on Stubhub for the Sept. 4 Eastern Illinois-Iowa game were $74 as I typed this. Those were end zone seats, naturally.
That game, like all of Iowa's, is a sellout. But that doesn't mean people without tickets have totally lost their minds. Seventy-four bucks for Eastern Illinois? Good luck getting that, scalpers.
