Noting says big time, historic BCS Conference rivalry . . .

[sonofdaxjones]

Farmageddon was a marketing ploy . . . the ku vs mu game was moved to Arrowhead to try and drum some excitement for a lame ass rivalry that rarely sold out the respective stadiums when it was played on campus.    There have been ku vs mu games when the respective stadiums were barely even  half full.  

Meanwhile K-State has provided both ku and mu some of the largest crowds either school has ever had.  No way either ku or mu ever considers moving those games off campus . . . the numbers don't lie.

25K empty seats for the 2010 "Border War".

[kslim]

Major pay day for ku and MU when K-State comes to town.   

K-State fans look for any excuse to get the hell out of Manhattan.  Just like Frank "How many dicks do I have to suck to coach in Miami" Martin.

typical border war crowd, right beems?

Lawrence owes us so much for filling that dump.  I mean, a fycking track?

From last November...

Despite a new, state-of-the-art stadium and a beautiful, 50-degree, sun-filled day, Saturday's game had the lowest attendance in the four years the MU-KU football game has been played at the stadium.

Arrowhead Stadium maintained a seating capacity of 81,425 with its renovations. On Saturday the announced attendance for the MU-KU game was 55,788, 68 percent of the stadium's capacity. That number was an overstatement. An optimist would say that the Arrowhead stands were half full, but even those optimists  would say the crowd was weak.

The renovated Arrowhead Stadium opened to a soccer match between Major League Soccer's Kansas City Wizards and a reserve squad from Manchester United. That game drew 52,424 people.

The stadium was divided down the middle for Saturday's game — the Missouri fans sat behind Gary Pinkel and the Tigers, the Kansas fans behind Turner Gill and the Jayhawks. The Missouri fans generally filled their half of the stadium, but the blue-clad Kansas fans used roughly a third of the seats on their side.

For those who did attend, the new Arrowhead provided plenty of places to find respite from a one-sided football game, and as the Tigers racked up the points on the Jayhawks, more and more lower-bowl orange seats emptied around the field.

The ISU fans are even laughing at KU at this

[sonofdaxjones]

100K ku alumni within an  hour or two of kc (but hey, they're so worldly), another 50k plus mu alumni within an hour or two of kc . . . 55K (if that) for the game.

What an embarrassment . . . small time.

[Trim]

If the amount of dicks Frank has to suck to get the hell out of Manhattan, KS is equal to the amount of ku dicks at the ku-mu football game in arrowhead, he's looking at a manageable number of dicks (to suck).

Clearly Lawrence is such a great place to live that ku fans just couldn't bear to leave it to drive 30 mins to a football game.

Face it, the "border rivalry" blew it's load, in it's pants, on the car ride home with the hot chick. It had a great first year but after that.....

Wow, what an amazing draw K-State is for both MU and ku.   The ku vs MU game . . . not so much, better move it to KC.

I was there in '98. Broke their all time home attendance record at the time and about half the stadium was purple.

Goodness gracious, just look at 2007 and 2008!  That coach of theirs really had them rolling.

Pretty obvious why they moved it to Kansas City but are desperate to keep the K-State game on campus.

LOL . . . yeah, all K-State fans live in Manhattan.  

Look man, don't blame us because Lew Perkins, Manchurian Athletic Director and Mike Alden would never dream of trying to move one of their biggest paydays to a neutral site.

Lawrence merchants have to be    knowing that    is coming back to town again.

LOL... you're just lashing out because Farmageddon was such an epic fail.  K-State couldn't handle the fact that KU and Mizzou made millions from playing at Arrowhead, so they tried to create a rivalry out of thin air with Iowa State.  What was the official attendance for that game last year, 'Pad?  38,000?
