Sources expect over 55,000 Iowa State fans at Arrowhead when that game is played

I hadn't been over to the phog in a week or so, but checking in on them, they are legitimately upset that game is looking like it's going to be a neutral site game vs home field lol. We'll see how that plays out as the season goes on, but they play Iowa State right after us. If their QB is out at that point in the season, or if they've dropped two or three prior, that could very easily be a 50/50 crowd split.

Maybe don't play your home games in another state

I would fully expect 70/30 ISU if not more extreme.

Don't expect that, you'll be seriously let down. They'll have plenty of fans there, but there's no buzz with that game for them right now. They generally don't travel great for football.

Iowa State fans don't travel to Arrowhead??? I was there when we played them and they had filled half that stadium in '09 and '10.

I think you'll see between 35-40% ISU which definitely is not a home field advantage.

If KU plays them after losing 2 or 3, their hopes of making playoffs are gone and everyone will be turning attention back to basketball.  ISU makes KC a vacation destination whether their team is good, average, or awful.  They could absolutely have a 70%/30% advantage.

Wouldn't that have him playing a conference game?  I thought Jalon Daniels simply didn't do that.

good point, but I think in his 8th year of eligibility he’s probably worked up the courage to try to play against FBS competition.

You are correct; that is what I meant. Neither team filled "half" the stadium as both endzones were mostly empty. Going back to watch the crowd shots on YouTube supports this.

yeah, there were 30,000 fans at those games, tops. The paid attendance for 2009 was 40,000 and 38,000 in 2010. If they are having a good season, they might have 20,000 fans in Arrowhead, but I wouldn't bank on it. They frequently don't even sell out the visitor section when they play in Lawrence or Manhattan.

Oops nevermind it wasn't Lindenwood.  In 2005 we played Longwood.  That's what she said.

i think most ku fans leveraged their farms to support the stadium remodel.  i doubt most can afford the luxury of going to a game in their backyard. tickets for this boutique event were going for $25.
