We're nationally ranked, playing a conference rival at home, and can't fill the stadium. What the hell? I know it's a three day weekend, but come on!

Would you pay 50 dollars for upper deck in the rain calm down bro. Our demand is higher than we call fit in our stadium so they jack up the prices to try and be the most profitable, econ.

Upper deck in the rain, for $50.

Yeah, there is a problem with that. I don't think most people realize how crappy those seats are. They should be 15 bucks tops.

What's the excuse for the student section?

Sold my ticket (had to work) looks full on the tv i'm watching

but I guess it is just a 60 inch HD screen so I prolly just missed the huge area of empty seats in the student section.

Not that it is too blame for our attendance but I am curious to see what type of effect HDTVs have and will have on sports. Yeah, I'll definitely be there for the really good games but Mizzou in the rain? eff that, I have a monster ass TV and a fridge full of beer. I'm good right where I'm at.

Jesus, that was rough. Nicname, I hear there are several suicide hotlines out there, don't let that verbal raping be the thing that sends you over the edge.

TIA

Totally off the mark here. My SUV is compensation for my tiny willie, the tv isjust for watching sports.

the empty seats are very deflating.

A few empty seats, big deal in the rain.

People have got to understand that many other small population states are either more compact than Kansas or only have 1 major team.

WTF. That's the exact reason people use when they argue towards kicking us out of a BCS conference. Thanks dax.

Some of the upper deck seats are actually pretty Damn good, but the atmosphere isn't the same.

There are multiple BCS school states with the same issue Fatty . . . try paying attention.

Yeah, and it's a huge and legitimate issue (and is magnified on gamedays like this)

And don't pull that "try paying attention" sh*t on me. I'm not some scrub mu or ku fan.

I am fatty fat fat.

We are averaging 98% of capacity.

If the AD is going to charge $50 bucks for the really crappy seats, then expect empty seats on games like today. $50 bucks buys plenty of brews and a nice pile of wings for the average fan.

i agree with this. drop the f*cking prices and fill that stadium.

Even for the bigger games, there needs to be a 3 if not 4 tier ticket pricing, the 2 upper level sections on both ends need to be at most $25 dollars.

Your TV must really suck. There was half a section missing the whole time.

Source: I sit across from the student section and critique it much of the game. They suck balls.

WTF is going on with Dax lately? Is this how he is when the team is winning? I feel like I don't even know him lately.
