doesn't make a ton of sense, so my vote is yes, it must be legit. 

although I had thought we bought our way out of the much anticipated annual match up against the Cyclones in order to pursue a yearly game in Gainesville.  which we in turn bought ourselves out of and signed a 8 year home-at-home deal with the University of Eastern Idaho

Actually, it does make some sense.  Both teams travel well to KC.  Both have played non-con games at Arrowhead giving a good indication of expected turnout.  This thing could be a success.

I just have a problem believeing that either Ames or Manhattan would let a conference home game and the economics that come with it go without a big fight.

I'm not sure about you, but I always trust 4th hand information from people who spend 23 hrs/day on a message board.

so does it make sense or not, because you kinda disagreed then agreed.   i don't see any benefit to this potential game, so, to me, it doesn't make a ton of sense.

i don't care the "the clones" travel well

It may be a good deal financially for KSU, but not be good financially for Manhattan and Ames.  I could only see a South opponent being played as a non-con game as a win-win situation.  Maybe OSU.

ISU is putting in a bunch of new suites and stuff . . . I can't see the folks who are buying those being real happy with seeing a conference home game moved to kc . . . same goes with K-State.

People that pay thousands upon thousands of dollars for suites want to be able to use them.

[pissclams]

How could it be a good deal for K-State?  Is Krause expecting 40k+ K-State fans in Arrowhead?

imo, any conference game at a nuetral site is incredibly stupid for ksu.

Very legit. Dare I say, too legit to quit? Expect official word from Kstate/Istate this week... maybe tomorrow??

Perhaps scheduling our rivals, Texas, in a non-conference match up in the 'head on years that we don't play them would be a good plan.

Interesting, starting next season?

Two seasons?  Indefinately?  Play it by ear after the first two?

Essentially, you have 2 games in two years generating revenue for the AD instead of 1.  Krause doesn't need 40k at either game, but I don't think that 40k would be impossible to get if KSU has a decent season this year.

Very wise observation. Don't view this as giving up a home game, view this as dropping a road game. and gaining extra $$

Eku "fans" are all over this.

I remember when ku played ou at Arrowhead and 30,000 ku "fans" showed up as seats, and another 10,000 showed up as OU fans.

That game could be the defacto North Title Game both years.

K-State vs. Iowa State.... the battle for 5th place in the North.  Get your tickets now, folks.

Anything can happen.  ku and MU might be slugging it out for 5th come 11/29.  Not that you would have gone to a game in that horrible venue anyway.
