Last season, the Iowa men’s wrestling program led the nation in attendance for the eighteenth consecutive year. The Hawkeyes averaged 13,640 fans per home date during the 2024-25 season with a total of 95,481 fans attending events at Carver-Hawkeye Arena. Two home duals reached full capacity with crowds of 14,847.
Since Tom Brands became head coach prior to the 2006-07 season, Iowa has a record of 138-14 (.907) at Carver-Hawkeye Arena. All-time at this venue since moving from UI Field House in 1983, the team holds a record of 287-27 (.914).
Iowa has led national attendance each season under Brands’ leadership (except during the pandemic-shortened 2020-21 season when attendance was not tracked). This marks sixteen straight years averaging more than eight thousand fans per event.
The team finished last season with a record of fourteen wins and one loss overall and went seven-and-one in Big Ten competition. The Hawkeyes placed third at the Big Ten Championships and fourth at the NCAA Championships with five athletes earning All-American status and one national champion.
