Yes, condensed version is:
If you have the means, go to the ISU/KSU game in KC. Don't ***** about the loss of a home game, price, travel, lodging etc. Just go support ISU football.
Iowa State has sold only 11,000 tickets

11,000 only counts those who bought through the ISU ticket office. Does not include ticketmaster or Arrowhead ticket office sales.
I made a few points to my husband this morning I thought I would share on this matter:
1. How many people commute to ISU games in Ames? If all of us stopped driving the distance to those games what would it do to the attendance? This is one game for most of you to have to go the distance!
2. People are creatures of habit. This year and next football fans in KC get the chance to see an ISU/KSU game. What happens the year after it is over? Maybe these fans think about going to see them play in Ames? I speak from experience here. My family and I are Boston Bruins fans. We did see the neutral site preseason Kings/Blues game here last year. Now we follow what is going on with the Kings because we wont go to California, and we have been to STL a few times to see the Blues. It happens. Don't we want more revenue in the long run folks?

What about the businesses in town that suffer? What about the EXPOSURE for Ames and Iowa State on tv and such? Screw Arrowhead.
If you don't think bowl sponsors will look at how well we travel to KC, you're kidding yourself.
Would we have been on tv on november 28 in ames? Who knows. Would we really want to showcase the 5 fans who were there at that game, or the frozen, empty ISU campus? Probably not.
Since we're throwing out attendance numbers, remember that our home season-ending game against Mizzou on Nov. 15 last year drew 46,000...
How many home games did we have last year? Ok, how many this year? Oh, the same number? Sorry!
Are those business making up the $800,000ish difference in profit? Are they even getting close? Nope! If there are businesses suffering, they shouldn't be in business anyways! People who give a crap know Iowa State is in Ames. What about the exposure to Iowa State football for Kansas City? That's a potential market to pull a few new season ticket holders from for the next 2 years.
Please Tornado man, PLEASE present a case which the positives of Ames and Manhatten next year outweigh the positives of Kansas City for 2 years. You've failed so far but your pathetic attempt at coming up with new excuses is humorous as soon as each BS excuse gets shot down.
You are seriously comparing a Missouri team with NFL talent and a top 25 ranking to Kansas State? Seriously? :biglaugh::biglaugh::biglaugh::biglaugh::biglaugh::biglaugh:
your an idiot if you dont think we would have a good crowd no matter what the date, the team were playing, or our record. I think we have shown that even over the last two years
