K-State official said about 49,000 tickets remain available for Saturday's game at Arrowhead. About 28,000 tickets have been sold, including 12,000 by K-State, 9,000 by Iowa State and the rest sold have been general tickets.

At least we still own ISU. :katpak:

Jesus Christ.  That is horrendous.  Get that game out of Arrowhead immediately.

They've done a piss poor job advertising it in the KC area.

They advertised the KU/MU game last night at the Chiefs game more than the KSU/ISU game thats being played in less than a week.

The poor turnout is probably a good thing. There probably wouldn't be enough parking for more than 30,000 tractors.

Also, the ticket office isn't listing upper level seats as an option anymore.  Cheapest tickets shown are field level @ $60.

There will be a decent walk up crowd.  A large number of iowans don't have computers/phones.

And the ones that did had them float away.

No one wants to pay $60 to $100 bucks to watch ISU vs KSU. 

Plus, K-State is "marketing" this game on the cheap.

I don't look for the Chiefs to be looking to do any more business with K-State for quite some time, we've taken the gurantee money and run.

You actually think Snyder would have wanted Currie to continue this in KC?  This series in Arrowhead was done before it started.

I wasn't talking about just playing Iowa State.   It's still a good deal financially for both schools because of the gurantee, but in retrospect it was a dumb move.

Needed to play a team with a stronger fanbase (sorry Haverhill but lets be honest here...)
When big teams come to town, KSU fans show up.  (I've always been under the impression that KSU travels well when there is something good to see, am I wrong here?)

Will suck to see it leave Arrowhead, especially since Arrowhead is somewhat attractive now.  But at least that gives us another home game now that the conference is shifting.

With the odd number of conference games in the 10-team conference, I'm sure the conference big-wigs will highly encourage everyone to play at least one conference game at a neutral site NFL stadium.

I live in KC and have been bombarded with info about the game.  I'm pretty sure everyone knows about it, but no one wants to go.

Most of the people i've talked to who said they aren't going say it is because they do not want to pay 60 dollars to travel 2 hours and watch us play iowa state who isn't even a rival.

Change of plans opened up my Saturday so I'll be going. We just haven't gotten our tickets yet.

$60 is a crap price for this game, though.

Guys, we've tried to make this a rivalry. We really have. At the end of the day, though, nobody gives a crap about Iowa State, including the average K-State fan.
