K-State official said about 49,000 tickets remain available for Saturday's game at Arrowhead. About 28,000 tickets have been sold, including 12,000 by K-State, 9,000 by Iowa State and the rest sold have been general tickets.

At least we still own ISU. :katpak:

They've done a piss poor job advertising it in the KC area.

They advertised the KU/MU game last night at the Chiefs game more than the KSU/ISU game thats being played in less than a week.

The poor turnout is probably a good thing. There probably wouldn't be enough parking for more than 30,000 tractors.

No one wants to pay $60 to $100 bucks to watch ISU vs KSU. 

Plus, K-State is "marketing" this game on the cheap.

I don't look for the Chiefs to be looking to do any more business with K-State for quite some time, we've taken the gurantee money and run.

You actually think Snyder would have wanted Currie to continue this in KC?  This series in Arrowhead was done before it started.

I wasn't talking about just playing Iowa State.   It's still a good deal financially for both schools because of the gurantee, but in retrospect it was a dumb move.

Needed to play a team with a stronger fanbase (sorry Haverhill but lets be honest here...)
When big teams come to town, KSU fans show up.  (I've always been under the impression that KSU travels well when there is something good to see, am I wrong here?)

Will suck to see it leave Arrowhead, especially since Arrowhead is somewhat attractive now.  But at least that gives us another home game now that the conference is shifting.

With the odd number of conference games in the 10-team conference, I'm sure the conference big-wigs will highly encourage everyone to play at least one conference game at a neutral site NFL stadium.

The secret to having a neutral site game is to make traveling to your home games less attractive than the neutral site.  I'd rather drive 2 hours to spend the night in Manhattan and get bombed in Aggieville than drive 20 minutes to hang out in  Raytown.  If this game was in Dallas or San Diego they'd probably get more than 12,000 K-State fans to show up.  

Let's face it, Camerohead sucks, unless you're a poor white trash whose wardrobe consists of clothing void of all sleeves with lots of neon and flames.  

If I wanna watch people get drunk on schnapps, piss in their seats, and get arrested in the most humiliating and self degrading fashion possible I'll go to a Chiefs game.  If I wanna watch cat football I'll suck it up and drive 2 hours.

The dilemma here is that NONE of my friends are K-State fans.  Which isn't normally a problem, I could usually talk some of my friends into going just for the tailgating/getting drunk experience, but the ticket prices are too high for that.  No person that isn't a katz fan or a ISU fan will not give a crap about this game, and will not pay 60+ dollars to watch it.

What the eff are you talking about?

12,000 fans in San Diego against Iowa State? Are you rough ridin' Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!)?

Just because this game is being played at the place where people get drunk on schnapps doesn't mean said people will be there. christ, you are a complete Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!).

I might be fanatical or delusional at times, but I know our fanbase size. We have a decent alumni base in Kansas City, but not one big enough to fill our side of Arrowhead, and a good travelling base, but not to fill our side at Arrowhead against a team like K-State (no offense). With the direction our graduates go for jobs... it just wasn't smart to do at Arrowhead. If Iowa State does another neutral site game again, it'll most likely be in Minneapolis or Chicago, simply because 40% of our student population every year is from those places, and a larger percentage of our graduates find jobs there. From what I've heard, Iowa State was asked to do this  by Kansas State, and it was a good short-time deal for Iowa State to reach out to our Kansas City area alumni. Iowa State makes $1mil every other year for playing Kansas State, and that comes from ticket sales/concessions/etc. Iowa State made 800k both years of this series, meaning over two years, we had a 600k profit and reached out to our KC alumni. In the short run--> success.... however long run is not a good idea.

Farmaggeddon is kinda funny and I'll be there saturday, but it has to go. Nobody is going to pay big money to see us play ISU in Arrowhead. When we were good and played Iowa there in 2003 or whatever the tickets practically sold out in 5 minutes. If we are gonna do a KC game, and I'd definitely like us to, we have to find a better opponent than freakin IOWA STATE.

Me the last two years:  Don't really care to drive to Arrowhead and pay to see our shitty team play another shitty team.  I'll just go to Tanner's and enjoy a brew and watch on the tube.  Maybe I'll go see the Bball team at memorial in the fall or go to the P&L if we play at Sprint Center this year....

I was at both the Cal and the Iowa games at Arrowhead in the early 2000's.  I thought it was a blast. 

I think the bottom line is non-rivalry conference games should not be played at neutral sites (unless conference championship of course).  If we were playing Iowa of now, or even a Notre Dame/Michigan/Michigan St. the attendance would be a different story.

Essentially, Farmageddon is the first non-rivalry Big 12 game to be played on a neutral site.....right?

Now that Nubbs are in the Big 10, it would be kinda cool to play them at Arrowhead if we ever decided to let them play us again.  That would be a sold out Arrowhead.

There will be a decent walk up crowd.  A large number of iowans don't have computers/phones.

This.

A Large majority of Mexico is more technologically advanced than Iowa.

Go to Mx, get wifi free in room.

Go to Iowa, no cell sig, not wifi, nothing.



I guess none of you follow me on twitter. The worst reception I have ever had is on I-70 between Topeka and the LHC Bill Snyder Memorial Highway.

Farmaggeddon is kinda funny and I'll be there saturday, but it has to go. Nobody is going to pay big money to see us play ISU in Arrowhead. When we were good and played Iowa there in 2003 or whatever the tickets practically sold out in 5 minutes. If we are gonna do a KC game, and I'd definitely like us to, we have to find a better opponent than freakin IOWA STATE.

When Weiser was here, everybody complained that he wasn't doing anything for the KC market. Now K-State plays multiple games in the KC area every year, and yet nobody in KC shows up to the games. In either sport. The one KC game by K-State that was well supported at all was Beasley's year vs a crapty opponent. Every other game has been terrible in fan support.

So you're saying that K-State needs to find better opponents — my response is you had best show up to the Sprint Center MBB games this year, esp the UNLV game. Because from the K-State AthDept perspective, there is growing sentiment that spending time and $$ in KC is a waste since nobody goes to games there. If the UNLV games draws poorly, combined with the ISU games, I wouldn't be surprised if K-State does Wichita games and no more KC games.

I agree, ISU should be on campus. But KC people or pro-KC exposure people need to realize that K-State has made a concerted effort in that market the last few years, and KC Cat fans have not responded. At all. Support the Cats, and go the f'n game

From what I've heard, Iowa State was asked to do this  by Kansas State, and it was a good short-time deal for Iowa State to reach out to our Kansas City area alumni.

Yeah, we definately should have played this game in Minnesota or Illinois.  Really, I can't imagine a better venue for a Big XII game.

 :kstatriot:


If this is the perception in the K-State athletic department, which it may be, given the poster, then there are some other factors I hope they keep in mind.

KC has responded well to K-State games in the past...the Cal and Iowa games were cited earlier in this thread. What KC has gotten over the past few years is games against mediocre (at best) opponents, with K-State teams that weren't great themselves. The exception was the Beasley game, and then last year, IIRC, the KC bball game occurred early, before we were ranked and had really beaten anyone.  And, IIRC, the game was over a holiday weekend, too.

So if you schedule your unranked team to play an unexciting opponent on a poor date, then don't get annoyed when people don't show up. "Look at this great gift we have given you, K-Staters of Kansas City! You can drive 20 minutes to see a schedule-filler game!"

Also, if the AD's perception is spending time and $$ in the KC market is a waste, then they're missing the point of it. Especially with the crapty opponents, the main point of the exercise should be to maintain a K-State presence in KC, not to fill up the arena.

What's the number of K-State alumni in KC? 30,000? 12,000 tickets sold already is over a third, which isn't bad, given that not every alumni is into sports. There will be plenty of KC-area walk-ups, too, given that they're all aware that there will be plenty of tickets to be had from scalpers. I don't know this for sure, but anecdotally, from my convos with season ticket holders outside KC who aren't coming to KC and view this as an opportunity for an off-week, the bigger problem here may be not KC-area alumni, but rather out-of-KC alumni who don't view this as worth the effort to make a trip and spend the extra $$ to watch Iowa freakin State.  Economy may be a factor here, too.

Just some things to keep in mind before the athletic department decides to re-concede the KC area to KU and Mizzou.

So a conference game is a "schedule filler"?? 

We've got a really good basketball team and what 7,000 show up for the game at the Sprint Center??  Oh wait, the opponent just wasn't "sexy" enough.   Well, even without a "sexy" opponent there still should have been at least 12-14,000 there, come on.

What is really is, is that we've got a bunch of cheapskates in the KC market, and the women who attend K-State out of the KC markets consist of many soccer mom types today, who are now more worred about getting their 4 kids over to the 900 gazzillion dollar soccer palace in OP and making sure the foreign guy they hired to coach their little soccer prodigy gets paid.

I don't think the KC alumni are just going to become KU and Mizzou fans. If nobody goes to the game but alumni, are we really seeing a benefit of maintaining the KC presence? Iowa State is not terrible. They have a better team this year than KU, Colorado, and maybe even OSU (and K-State).

Good points. I should have clarified that I don't believe the AthDept is saying that doing anything in KC is a waste of time, but the frustration with continual poor attendance is probably going to lead to less games there if it continues. I don't think that K-State will stop adv or doing alumni events, fundraisers, pep rallies etc, or concede it to other schools.

I realize that a fb game vs two average teams in Arrowhead isn't going to set the world on fire in KC, but people there need to realize that games in KC are not a given. If people don't go, eventually there won't be as many, if any, games in KC. Which would be too bad.  In this thread, and even in your response, the excuses our KC fans use to not go to games is kinda sad. I agree, it would be nice to play better opponents there — but the alternative normally would be no games at all.

 I think K-State is trying to find better opponents, starting with UNLV, to see if that will make attendance better. This year and next year in MBB have decent opponents playing Kst at Sprint. If KC still doesn't show up, finds some other excuse, then really what KC people are saying is they won't go regardless who we play. And if the AthDept starts believing that, then it is in their best interest to find more markets that might, such as Wichita.

That's all fair. Even with the poor ticket sales so far, I feel there's been more "buzz" around KC for this ISU game by the general public than we would have were we playing in Manhattan this weekend. However, I agree the AD resources need to be allocated where they feel the best combination of benefit can be received. I don't know what kind of demographic info the AD can generate or get through a survey, but it would be interesting to see some %'s in terms of Farmageddon attendance by KC-area alumni vs. out-of-KC alumni/season ticket holders to see where the fault really lies there. The poor basketball game attendance obviously lies at the feet of the KC K-Staters, and puzzles me somewhat, even with the factors I listed before.

I've attended every bball and fball game K-State's played in KC beginning with the Eddie Robinson Classic (with the exception of the UMKC debacle). I appreciate the games, so hopefully we'll have a better showing for UNLV.

as a whole, kstate people in kansas city get much more enjoyment out of complaining about potentially having to drive two hours to a game then they do out of driving ten minutes to actually attend one. they are just complainers who really, really like to complain. it's pretty just the nature of people in kansas city in general. they can't help themselves. it's ingrained or something. scheduling these games pretty much calls them on their bullfeces.

"OMG, parking downtown is such a pain! How will we ever get in and out of Sprint Center at a decent hour! I will have to walk 4 blocks to my car!"   :runaway:

Same tards who probably walk the equivalent of 10 blocks to their car at Chiefs after paying $25 to park there.

Jesus, your fans sound worse than ours.

Topeka is just about close enough to be considered KC area, but I guess you could just apply what I said to eastern KS fans.

You guys see the ads for the game during the Chiefs MNF game?  Seems like that worked out to be fairly productive for them.  Large captive audience at Arrowhead and I saw the ads several times down around the endzones and those were the most captivating moments of the game.

This might be true.  I will tell you however that I am not one of those fans who bitches about not having a game in K.C. and then not go.  I'm not the best fan when it comes to that but I do donate money and I do travel to the bigger games.  Doesn't make it right that I don't support us when KSU plays closer to me but that's the way it goes sometimes.

Being a doctor you were probably lucky to enough to handle it without any problems. Any advice for a fellow EMAW the next time it happens?

First of all, it's really important to maintain a steady pace of breathing.  Manhattanboners make the unsuspecting victim extremely vulnerable to hyperventilation.  Steady breathing is key to warding off vicious Manhattanboners.  Once you feel that your breathing is back to a normal, safe pace (anywhere from 15 to 120 minutes) start your car and make the exit on Coachbillsnyderhighway.  If you can't get your breathing down to a calm and comfortable level (not uncommon), turn your vehicle around and buy a nice spiced red from Wyldewood Cellars.  Don't forget to let it breathe.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Something everyone needs to remember: Fall harvest has started. Wheat planting has started. You're not going to get a lot of the season ticket holders who are involved in agriculture to 1) Go to KC for the game and drive 3+ hours 2) Go to the game whether it's there or in Manhattan. Thousands of these guys aren't going to make it to that game regardless.





 


That was what was going to keep me from going on Saturday. But then I remembered I'm not a farmer so I bought my tickets.



That was going to keep me from going this Saturday as well but then I remembered I got all of my harvest and wheat planting done last weekend.

Just keep saying no one is going because it's a game vs. Iowa State.

KU had roughly 46,900 for the Georgia Tech game, even after losing the week before to NDSU (and eight games in a row).  K-State will be lucky to bring 15,000 to Farmaggeddon.
