Is this legit?

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

Mizzou bought up all of ku's remaining seats or are you guys still working on it?

[FelixRex]

This match-up has "Wednesday Night Primetime!" written all over it! 

[Saulbadguy]

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

 

I wouldn't doubt it.  We got what, 17k for a weeknight basketball game.  There are alot of casual KSU fans in KC that would go to Arrowhead for a game, but they do not want to drive 2+ hours to go to Manhattan for a game.

[catphanatic09]

There's no way though that it would affect this year, correct? We can't move a scheduled home game this late of notice to Arrowhead I'm assuming because season ticket holders would be furious

I doubt it, we already have the tickets for ISU @Manhattan.

[pissclams]

Christ this is lame. Now we have some kind of football rivalry with Iowa St  

Not exactly the kind of company that you want to keep it you catch my drifty

that's pretty much where i was at too.  but then i became like frack it, maybe i'll actually go to a game for once since it's in kc.

[catzacker]

so I take it akron backed out?

[mcmwcat]

  from Manhattanite here.  i can never make it to KC in the fall becuz of fball games.  now i have a great reason to get there.

[tmramrod91]

1 less 2 hr drive = 


But, games in Manhattan are much more  than games at arrowhead (except when it actually means something)

Terrible move, imHo

[SUPERKSUFAN]

I'm pissed.  This idea sucks.

Why did KSU agree to this? Seriously, what can be gained from playing ISU in KC?

I understand that, but will this really be that profitable? That is, more profitable than a conference home game?

Not for Aggieville.  So how many home games are we down to?  4-5.  I liked the good old days when football games were played in the towns where the colleges were located.

BTW, I live in KC.

2 revenue games versus 1.  Probably not great for Aggieville merchants and the RCPD but still, the AD has to gets paid.

I live in KC as well and the odds of me attending the KSU v. ISU games for 2009 and 2010 just went up 100% so...

JS . . . was that Hoaxtard questioning moving a home game??

That from a fan of a school that moved a winnable ou and a winnable mu game to Arrowhead?? 

A fan of a school that moved their rivalry game  with Missouri to be played in Missouri for at least two consecutive years??

Now 30 minutes without a response to my question about the OU "series".

[cireksu]

this is superduper gay.

[Ghost of Stan Parrish]

You hitch your wagon to Ron Prince and Kaptain Krause's star, and they parlay that into some sort embarrasing rivalry series with a team with zero national recognition and the losingest record in Big 12 conference play (or second-losingest, who really cares).  What a joke.

 

Straight to the bottom, boys!

Hey fcKSUtick,

This is an opportunity for two of the Big 12 institutions who often find themselves on the short end of the stick in terms of revenue to maximize revenue generating potential and essentially eliminate a road game off of each of their schedules.  Both fanbases travel well and the game will likely be very well attended.  WHo is to say what the profile of both programs will be in 2009.  This may be the Big 12 North title game.
