I agree! I know if we had a home game against them I wouldn't want to meet them halfway at Arrowhead...I'd want it in the Trice!
Honestly, I didn't even know this deal was in the works.

Not for 2008.

I'm thinking that this smells of a two year deal. I know Kansas and Missouri did it one time I think where they took away both home games year after year and played at the neutral site to be fair to both teams. That would mean two trips in a row for me to KC!!!

The almighty dollar.:notworthy:
re: K-State to Host ISU at Arrowhead - Confirmed
Wonder if there's any possibility of the Chief's being home the next day? Either way, it sounds good.

Kansas city is the best town in the midwest to go visit for a weekend. The florida state game was great when I went to that . I'm pumped for this game.

Boy, I'm with you on this one - if I was a K-State fan, I would be livid. First the Prince contract extension (?????) and now this. What is going on with K-State football?

I will have to disagree with this statement 100%

If it's this season, the Chiefs play Buffalo in KC the next day.
re: K-State to Host ISU at Arrowhead - Confirmed
If they are hosting the AD's of each school, seems like there is something in place. You don't bring them down for nothing.
That in mind, I doubt that this is going to occur for this year's game. It will probably be the 2009-2010 seasons (meaning we'll most likely give up our home game first)...so I wouldn't be rushing down here yet.

...and then I was going to make a Twin Cities 50/50% joke, but backed out, assuming ridicule for my sense of humor (or lack there of.) But IMHO, KC is not the midwest weekend destination of choice.

Any info on that? The article doesn't really point out a year. That said, it would seem to be pretty quick if it was for this season.
I could also see that this is likely a two year deal. I can't see why either team would be willing to give up a home game without getting the same in return.
re: K-State to Host ISU at Arrowhead - Confirmed
The only teams left in the North to play a game at a neutral site would be Knebraska and CU. Where would they play? Grand Island?

Chicago is the best town in the midwest to go look for a parking spot all weekend.
Better? :biggrin:
re: K-State to Host ISU at Arrowhead - Confirmed
Personally, I don't like it... I think home games are way more valuable to a team, and really, what's the draw of ISU-KSU to fill up Arrowhead??? Lets take the Cardinal/Gold Glasses off for a second and realize this isn't a huge draw game, especially "on the road"... plus, Ames and Manhattan need all the surplus people feeding the economy as much as they can.
Cool in terms of venue, just don't like it overall...
