From the comments, many KC sports fans aren't exactly thrilled... I wish it was this year, but it is too late in the year to make an annoucement like this, especially when K-State was selling family packs to our game.........

Not the most thrilled about losing a home game, but we can travel and make it feel like a home game!

you would have sour-balls as well if you rooted for the Chiefs.
 
I like how Kansas fans are talking trash (see link backs bottom page) just one more reason to hate jhawks. Wasnt it just two years ago you had to buy season tickets to football games to get for basketball.

cheers to the 500 pound football coach and his fat friends at WalMart

Sounds like most of them are KU football fans, as if they have a perennial football powerhouse now! Against KU, that is one game I would LOVE to win this year!!!

One great season, and suddenly they're kings of the Big 12. I'll give them credit for the BCS win, but they honestly didn't have much room to trash talk before last season.
 
This year probably would have been impossible to play at Arrowhead considering that the Chiefs play the 23rd at home. I completely understand why both schools are doing this. Neither game would have been sold out if it had been played at KState or at JTS. So this way both fan bases can come together in a huge setting.

Hard to say that neither game would be sold out in their respective venues. That would entirely depend on how this season and that start of next season goes for each team.

I would think with an optimistic season, any home game at JTS (especially what might be the 1st or 2nd conf. game) would be near a sellout (i.e. approx. 50k)

Just a point of fact: the Chiefs had a home game last year the day after the MU/KU game, so it can be done.

But I'm not surprised at all that they aren't moving this year's game. People were already buying tickets for it planning for it to be in Manhattan. I think K-State was already offering a discounted price even, so it would have been difficult to move the game to Arrowhead when people were already buying discount tickets.
 
It'll be interesting to hear the finances of this.

Big XII schools don't get money for away games, as I understand. So we'd cash in one year. Blip for the second.

Hard pressed to say that we'd get 40K each to that game in KC. So even if it's 60 or 70K, that's only 30K-35K attendance each (I'd be somewhat surprised to see that much for each school). So that might be less we'd see at one home game, but it'll be two payouts instead of one.

Arrowhead (Chiefs?) have to be getting a healthy chunk. Factor in concessoins & parking - will the schools see that?

Flat payout. Percentages?

Guaranteed TV game (has to be, right) and that revenue??

sort of like when we are having one of our all time great seasons playing missouri for the big 12 north frickin title and a trip to the big12 title game in front of an empty stadium? I think odds say if ISU has any history at all that even with a 9 win season the KSU game likely will not be a sellout in Ames next year.

Actually, I think they've done themselves a master stroke. If nothing else, look at the two teams. Josh Freeman will be a senior, as will all of Prince's horde of jucos, so they'll be at their peak. Whoever is starting for ISU will have plenty of experience, Arob, Bo and Jeremiah for backs, Sed and Darius sophs with Marquis a senior, a line that returns four starters, and eight of the ten on the two deep, a defense whose only significant loss might be Kurtis Taylor...the list goes on and on.

Wiki says that Arrowhead seats 79,451. That seems to be a few more than would fit into either the Jack or K-State's stadium...

A goodly chunk of change, especially if it garners national TV. And a sweet down payment on the south end zone.

And whoever was talking about trying to sell the new luxury boxes--they're already sold.
