Will K-State ever bother reaching 60k seats?

Maybe when the Manhattan population doubles with NBAF. For now, we prefer to keep supply of seats low to drive up ticket prices. :cashmoney: BSFS is already louder than most 60k seat stadiums anyway.

This thread answered my question for the most part. K-State doesn't have Des Moines right down the road so it makes sense that there aren't many fans who just decide to go to a game on a wim.

If I wanted to watch shitty football on a whim, I'd drive to Lawrence.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, K-State fans could have beheaded the entire KU team at midcourt, and K-State fans would be celebrating it this morning.  They are the ISIS of Big 12 fanbases.

Thats why I'm surprised there isn't slightly better attendance for KU Football, despite their struggles.

I think it's struggles + all the ku fans would rather save up money for a bball game. Many joco ku grads struggle with income.

Got to see the stadium this weekend and the NE screen is bananas. The whole building is much bigger than I anticipated. Very excited for the fall.

Agreed.
What about putting a 2-sided video board up so you can watch the game from the parking lot?

Doubt it. I think they want people to buy tix and go inside, instead of tailgating and staying out in the lots.

allowing the sell of booze in the stadium would really solve all of this.
