Indiana fans face stricter rules for second half attendance

Indiana football coach Curt Cignetti emphasized the need for fans to remain in their seats during games. This comes after noticeable sections of Memorial Stadium emptied during the second half of multiple games this season, including a recent 38-0 victory over Western Kentucky. To improve attendance, Cignetti previously allowed excused absences for the first three games but has confirmed that there will be no more allowances as the team enters Big Ten play. IU's next challenge is against Northwestern, which is 2-0 and recently had a significant victory over a power conference opponent.
