Drake Football was an event my Dad (Drake grad) and I would attend as tickets to Iowa Football games were hard to come by. Drake Stadium has gone through a major renovation since then and is a nice place to watch a game. However it must be the best kept secret in town. Less than 3,000 were in attendance. Bulldog football is quite a bargain. Inexpensive concession prices, and for their next game, the final home contest of the year, tickets will only be $1.
On this day, Colin would only last three quarters, but it may have been one of the more exciting games I've attended this year. Drake led 20-10 as we left, but Davidson pulled to within 3 early in the fourth. Listening to it on the radio, it sounded like a back and forth battle from there until late. Davidson was able to mount a drive which put them in position for a game-tying 38 yard field goal with :07 to go. However that kick was blocked and the Bulldogs sealed the victory.

Drake may have better cheerleaders than Iowa
However the band was a disappointment.
