Iowa’s Caitlin Clark made history a couple of ways on February 15, 2024

She broke Kelsey Plum’s NCAA scoring record and caused ticket prices to soar

Catlin Clark and Hawkeye Women’s Team — Good Morning America

In the first 2 1/2 minutes of the Hawkeye Women’s Basketball game against the Michigan Wolverines last night, Caitlin Clark scored the 8 points necessary to break Kelsey Plum's 3,527 record.

The Hawkeyes went on to win the game against the Michigan Wolverines with a score of 106–89, with Clark scoring 49 of those points.

Once Clark’s journey began toward topping Plum’s record, ticket prices started to soar for every game the Hawkeye women played.

Ticket prices:

  • Sunday, February 11 — Iowa Hawkeyes at Nebraska Cornhuskers (the Cornhuskers won). The cheapest ticket was $114, and the most expensive was $743.
  • Thursday, February 15th — Michigan Wolverines at Iowa Hawkeyes. The cheapest ticket was $225, and the most expensive was $942.
  • Thursday, February 22 — Iowa Hawkeyes at Indiana Hoosiers. The cheapest ticket is $99, and the most expensive ticket is $1,010.
  • Sunday, February 25 — Illinois Illini at Iowa Hawkeyes. The cheapest ticket is $235, and the most expensive ticket is $1,064.
  • Wednesday, February 28 — Iowa Hawkeyes at Minnesota Golden Gophers. The cheapest ticket is $121, and the most expensive ticket is $788.
  • Sunday, March 3 — Ohio State Buckeyes at Iowa Hawkeyes. The cheapest ticket is $365, and the most expensive is $2,171.

Not only has interest grown in Clark’s drive to reach the top, but it has also caused arenas to fill and has helped the coffers of other teams to grow with the increase in ticket prices. It has been a win-win for everyone.

Pete Maravich Record:

Now, the question is — will Caitlin Clark beat Pete Maravich’s record of 3,667? “Pistol” Pete played for LSU in Baton Rouge, LA, 1967–1970, and his 3,667 record was done with 2-point goals. Three-point shots weren’t implemented by the NCAA until 1987.
