Part 2/4:
The 2020 championship game was severely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, limiting attendance to roughly 19,000 spectators. This year, however, with the stakes higher than ever, Cyclone supporters have flooded into Arlington from Iowa and various parts of Texas, eager to witness their team possibly etch its name in history.
A Culture of Community
Cyclone fans describe their community as a family. One enthusiastic supporter noted the joy of gathering in Texas, as this event offers a rare chance for fans to include those from all corners of the state. The opportunity to enjoy the game in a more involved manner—compared to their last outing—has only heightened their spirits.
