Cincy looks like a blast. Cool stadium, and plenty of neat neighborhoods to party.
Not a "vacation" spot so to speak, but seems like a fun place to spend a Friday and Saturday and then cuss at yourself driving home Sunday.
Iowa State can stop traveling to rinky dink teams in minor cities now for away games

Two things to consider:
1. Might it be in Arkansas State's best interest to get out of their contract with us? They could schedule two away games at more than $1 million each.
2. Teams with smaller stadiums and good fan bases won't be able to accommodate the ticket needs of huge influxes of ISU fans.

your also assuming huge influxes of fans. Iowa State is chic now because there’s a buzz around the program.
There are a lot of moving parts that will need to perfectly align themselves, for that to continue 5 years from now.
I am skeptical that Iowa State fans taking over Las Vegas is meaningful for how many will go to Jonesboro, Arkansas, population 80,000. I don't remember seeing ISU fans completely overwhelm Akron or Toledo or Tulsa for the last few G5 road games we have played before UNLV.
I want a neutral site game against Utah in Denver, we need to exorcise the demons of Shaky Smithson.
Their stadium isn't huge but definitely pretty cool based on what I see in the pics.
Amen. It's mind-blowing to me that ISU doesn't require a donation for the vast majority of season ticket purchases. Most P5 schools have no more than 20% of their season tickets that don't require a donation.
And in my case it's several hours closer compared to a trip to Trice.
you clearly aren't referring to the game in the snow of 2000. that was an awesome day in Folsom.
Northern Colorado is FCS....the others I am fine with, even though I'd prefer one other P5 non con other than Iowa
We won't, Vegas is one thing, but Akron, or Tulsa will not draw 10's of thousands of fans to make those trips. Orlando will draw a good crowd, Cincy decent and that might be it.
K-State doesn't have an out of conference rival like we do...so they schedule usually one FCS (home) a G5 (usually home:home), and a P5 (home:home)
I could also see ISU fans heading to Houston at about the same clip as Cincinnati. Orlando will definitely be the big destination of the new schools. Houston and Cincinnati interest me more than most of the current Big 12 cities. So does a weekend in Salt Lake City.
