also, it must not be making that much money, as it is moving back to campuses in 2023/24

Both schools will not make as much money by moving back to campus, but it creates less headache for both schools.  CSU is ok with continuing in Denver, but CU is not (unless it's CSU's home game).  CSU is fine with this agreement since we have our new stadium.

You are bad at math. You play in a 41,000 seat.stadium. To make less than the $2 million you said CSU gets, the average ticket price would only be $45 and you would make exactly zero dollars on concessions and parking.

It's colorado state talk here and people comparing stokes (?) to denis clemente on the hoops board.  We should make this place exclusively combofanning and leave all the sports stuff to rivals.com, bitb at very sports college sports internet stuff.

There's also TV $ that comes into play.  I think the city of Denver kicks in some money too.  I'm not figuring the numbers.  I'm just posting what I've seen/heard in the news.

We should buy out the Lawrence game and move it to Manhattan every year. We'd get an extra home game, they'd get some extra money, and they'd get to use nice facilities an extra Saturday in the fall. A win for everyone.

You only get tv money every other year when CSU has the media rights. You don't really think the Pac 12 Network is cutting CSU a slice, do you?

Yeah, and really both games were pretty fun late game wins against flood aggie, but the blocked XP is probably one of my favorite ways we've won a game since I really paid attention to k-state football (2000)

I don't think I've been to Arrowhead since the Eddie Robinson or the Big 12 champy loss to OU. Whichever was last.

I hope I get to go back for the WC. Other than that, yuck.

Eddie Robinson v Cal was '03. Crazy to think honestly that we played 15 fuckings game that year.

If KC had built new stadiums downtown and not stayed in the middle of vast asphalt wasteland on the edge of Raytown.   

Then a Kstate game with a huge guaranteed payday in KC every once in awhile is worth considering. 

But no way to ever going back to Stankville USA aka Camerohead of Raytown
