Iowa State officials say general public tickets to the Cyclones’ bowl game will go on sale once their destination is known. ISU finished the regular season 6-5 after a loss to Missouri and at this point the Houston Bowl appears to be the most likely spot.ISU ticket manager Jared Sturtewagen says they sent out a preorder form a couple of weeks ago and the deadline to get it in was last Friday. He says once they find out the actual bowl, they’ll open up the ticket sales to the public. Sturtewagen says they won’t know how many tickets they have until a bowl invitation is accepted. He says most bowls allot around 10-thousand tickets. Sturtewagen is confident Cyclone fans will fill the allotment. He says the potential locations have nice weather and he says there’s a lot of excitement among fans.This will be Iowa State’s fourth bowl trip in five years.
