The statement from the Iowa athletic director Gary Barta on Monday did not include details and said only that "we have contacted Iowa State athletics administration and are working to gather additional information."
No. 18 Iowa rallied to beat Iowa State 18-17 on the road. The game at Jack Trice Stadium lasted nearly 6 ½ hours after a couple of weather delays, and some fans from Iowa State's student section on the field during the second break before being felt back by security.
Iowa's band, like the team itself, was heavily beaten by the Iowa State student section when it entered the stadium before kickoff.
