Did the Stanford game get moved to a neutral site, or are they still just talking about maybe moving it?
i thought our turf looks better now? is it crap again?
Boo. Neutral site games are incredibly lame, no matter the geography, location, or who's playing. I would 100% rather play a home and home, no matter how much money's on the table.
Is the assumption that if a game is neutral site then the general public will think it's a bigger game than it is and it will drive up TV ratings?
It’s also worth mentioning that season ticket sales are on the decline at K-State, and it’s harder than ever to get students to show up for home football games. Maybe something new would spark some interest. The Wildcats haven’t played a neutral-site game in the regular season since 2010.K-State hosted Mississippi State in a highly anticipated game last season and ESPN put it at 11 a.m. A sellout crowd wasn’t in attendance. The odds of a prime time slot are higher in Arlington or Kansas City.A seven-figure payday (some neutral sites are paying teams as much as $4.5 million right now) for moving the game would also be something to consider.One more thing: Alabama starts the season at a neutral site every year and that strategy has worked out for Nick Saban.Of course, the atmosphere would be much better at home and moving the game to a neutral site probably makes it harder for K-State to win. But you asked me to try and make you feel better about the possibility, so there you go.For what it’s worth, I think K-State is eyeing AT&T Stadium for the Stanford game. That site is likely to offer the most money and national exposure. No deal is in place or even close to being done at this point, but I get the feeling they want to make it happen.If they move a game to Arrowhead, the better opponent seems like Missouri. They have a home-and-home series coming up. That would work just as well with both games in KC.Read more here: https://www.kansas.com/sports/college/big-12/kansas-state/article234522837.html#storylink=cpy
oh man, if K-State plays Stanford in Dallas, there are going to be 22,000 people there. It's an awful idea.
you old ballz people need to retire to the old person’s homes because people just don’t want to go to games anymore the best thing for the cats is to play stanford in dallas sorry if you olds can’t figure out how to turn on your television to watch it. my bad. not really. doesn’t matter since half of you can’t even read online words
oh yeah I forgot no one is going to these things any more. I forgot it isn't the before times.Yeah put it in Dallas.
Playing Stanford anywhere sucks. It’s a boring team from a conference that has basically given up on football.

I would assume part of the reason for declining season ticket sales and fewer students was due to Snyder fatigue and the gawd awful boring football.
