K-State to Host ISU at Arrowhead - Confirmed
- Thread starter aeroclone
- Start date
You're right about that, but we have to do everything we can do to make $$ since our budget is last in the conference. We've gotta pay for JTS renovations some how. JP hasn't really led us astray yet (that I recall), so we've gotta just hope that he's doing the right thing.
Edit: But my guess is you're right, this is essentially an increase in season ticket prices.
I'm guessing this is for 2009.
I like the idea, I LOVED going to KC for the FSU game a few years ago.
Also, if it does start next year I am assuming the game would be included in ISU season ticket packages (like the KU-MU games) so technically we would sell a ton of tickets for the game.

That's probably why ISU and K-State are doing it. Whatever money they receive in KC will not only be split evenly between the two schools but will pretty much be INCREMENTAL revenue. Seems like a no-brainer to me. Go for it, JP!
Hypotheticals is what CF does best. :wink:
Speaking of hypotheticals, what are they gonna call this thing? K-State, I-State Civil Border Trophy Bowl War something or other...?

The Border War between KU-MU is not in their season ticket package. You have to buy the extra ticket. I'm guessing it's just like a road game for ISU where season tix holders get priority and so forth...
There is no way...zero, zippo, nada that this game at Arrowhead would be included in the season ticket purchase.
Not gonna happen.
Still... I think this would be a fun game. I'd probally make the trip from the East Coast for this one... (I want to try to hit 1 or 2 games a year... atleast while I'm single. Doubt it'll happen if/when I get married

I would love to see it, although it would suck to take away one more true home game if we have to do a two-year deal. Arrowhead tailgating would be fun!!!

Just gotta find the right woman! :wink: We're hitting up 3 games: A&M in Ames, Vegas and Waco...
I am okay with this as long as it is in years where it is in addition to six other home games, which is what the alumni and Ames merchants have been used to in the past anyway.
This would only be done by JP if it was a big net plus for football revenue in both years.
There are lots of Ames-area hospitality businesses in the Cyclone Club - many who have responded to Jamie's pleas for more $$$$ - who would not be pleased if we gave up a home game to play in KC.
exactly! - The wife and I got season tickets and are driving up from Austin for 4 games, plus going to Waco this year.
For both KU last year and MU this year the ticket for the home team was part of the season ticket holder package. It's for Chiefs fans that it is an option to buy the ticket on thier season tickets. This is a good deal for both school it will be a lot of money for both.
