as thousands of hawkeye fans crowded the eastern iowa airport ready to watch their beloved hawkeyes try their luck against stanford. some travelers from dubuque weren't so lucky.

" the webber family scrambled to find other flights, but with no luck, they decided to hop in their car and make the 27 hour drive from dubuque, all the way to pasadena. "yes it will be worth it. it will be worth it to be part of history. you know being back there 25 that same cancelled flight put hawkeye fans mike and shannon giese in a bind. "i got a call from american airlines saying that they were cancelling our flight and rebooked us on a friday flight, which the game is friday.

(carl schwendingr, hawkeye poet) "i think all hawkeye fans have been on a hawkeye high we're gonna tte down michigan state." tod wolter will be there too--traveling in style on this decked out bus. no matter how they get there, wooter says the iowa presence will be felt. (tod wolter, hawkeye fan) "they're gonna be nuts. cause hawk fans are going to be raring to go." others agree. "when iowa comes out of that tunnel, you'll hear the hawkeye fans." east lansing, where michigan state is located, is only about four hours away from indianapolis. but the overwhelming majority of hawkeye fans seem to think they'll be way more rowdy, giving iowa the home field advantage. we've got you covered live from the t-h media newsroom in dubuque, brad hanson, kwwl news. and here's a look at what the field will look like on saturday at lucas oil stadium. the stadium can s sat up to 67 thousand people. if you're looking to grab some last minute tickets -- you'll have to pay up. tickets on sites like stub-hub are starting at 125 dollars and go up to seven thousand dollars. the last time the hawkeye footbal

kwwl's mark woodley explains what this means for the hawkeyes. mark? you have to imagine the mood around the hawkeye football program and the fanbase has improved significantly in the past couple of hours -- but the fact is -- the iowa football night -- than they did for those first 12 wins this season -- and it makes sense as very few thought iowa would be in the ballgame -- instead the defense -- along with the big play from tevaun smith and c-j beathard -- had iowa in position to win this game -- and the committee felt that performance only warranted a one space drop in the rankings -- and making this selection possible -- while iowa last played in the rose bowl in 1991 -- their last win came in january of 1959 -- nearly 57 years ago -- but this has been a special team -- they'll be looking to make a bit more history on new year's day -- mac -- thanks mark as a reminder -- the hawkeyes will play standford at four in the afternoon on new years day. moments ago -- kwwl's kristen rogers talked with the hawkeye head coach to hear about this selection. k
