Why doesn't KU and KSU play in Arrowhead?

[Mike from Ft. Collins]

Even once every 3rd year?

Better for local Manhattan economy and A.D.'s office revenue wise to keep it in Manhattan.  Also, a large portion of KSU fans come from far west, and would not make the trip.

Arrowhead is gross.

We've spent hundreds of millions of dollars in the last 4 years improving our stadium... Why would we want to reduce the number of games we play in it?

Mike stop being an idiot.

[Dugout DickStone]

Tried but couldn't find a worthy opponent

[cat.branchman]

It's in Missouri.

Keep those dollars in Manhattan.

Both CU and CSU each make $1-1.5 million for each game played in Denver.  It also gives each school an extra home game every season.

"Better for local Manhattan economy"  Yes, I agree.

"A.D.'s office revenue wise to keep it in Manhattan" Not sure I agree.  CU and CSU each make 1-1.5 million per game when played in Denver.

"Also, a large portion of KSU fans come from far west, and would not make the trip."  This is a good reason.  Don't want to piss off your season ticket holders.

Local restaurants, bars, and hotels make more than that, I would imagine

I have a brilliant idea, let's play a game between two Kansas schools in Missouri.

They don't work for a company that pays for it, unfortunately. Maybe a few more years would help.

That seems like a crazy low amount of money for the biggest game of the year. For instance take any given K-State game, if we have an average ticket price of $60, it's much bigger btw, we are making over $3 million in ticket sales alone. That doesn't count parking or concessions. It also doesn't count the millions spent locally. For schools like Colorado and CSU it makes no sense to play that game on a neutral field.

Also it doesn't give each school another home game, that's not how it works bro.

I believe we reserve Arrowhead for teams from the state of Iowa.

I'll clarify how it works in the Rocky Mountain Showdown:  Both schools include the RMS in their respective season tickets package, so technically, you are correct that it's not another home game.

I agree that the local economy probably benefits more than that, but I was only talking about net profit for the athletic departments.

Would make as much sense as having K-State and KU play at Cessna Stadium, which means stupid AF

[Dugout DickStone]

The only reason to play a game at AH is for KC fans to have a short drive.  And beers at the game

Pretty lame that you have to be "in the club" to get beer at a football game.
