KU's new "luxury" section

Now if they do somehow manage to sell these seats that will be an amazing return on investment for them. I don't think it will work, but who knows... if it does they could make a killing on them.

they will probably be showing KU basketball highlight videos on those TVs during the football games.....

I was kind of annoyed last year when I saw on tv some signs KU fans nad in the stands making references to the basketball team... yes, KU fan, you have good basketball, anyone living on this side of Pluto knows that... why don't you just celebrate your football team that is putting together a once-in-a-generation season.

remember this is a good deal south of ames. the isu hame was there this year for a game on nov. 17th and it was hot enough the band had our jackets off pregame and as I recall I was sweating. kickoff temp was 66 degrees and it was the last home game of the year.

It's true, they spared no expense. It's actually the same shower Shamu uses.

Wait until she see's the size of the bathtowls...they double as queen-size sheets.

Careful now. I think you meant to sat "at Kansas".

There are many, many people here in Kansas that don't claim the Jayhawks as part of the state.

KU fans are a completely different breed. Probably smarter than a typical Hawkeye fan, but much, much more arrogant.

from your experience, would you compare kNU football fans with Jayhawk b-ball fans?

"Luxury chairs " AND access to an "upscale buffet". The athletic department must have had Mangino define "Premium Seating".

Using the same logic, can a Hawk fan count their double-wide trailer and 40+" TV as a super luxury suite?

The thing that stuns me when I look at these photos is that someone had to look at this plan and say, "Yes, this really is the best way we can spend our money."
