My son and I surely would love to, but I'm pretty sure the mama has different ideas...Under 1 he gets in free.
I'm so dedicated that I got Covid the week of an away game, just to be sure that I'd be healthy for the K-state game...
Feels like our fan base has gotten so soft over the years.....ladies and gents, this is late November, it is usually cold...this is not a new phenomenon.
We could make history on Saturday night with a win. I'm not buying any of your excuses unless you live in Taiwan or something.

I’m a slacker. I didn’t drive 25 hours to the coast then swim 4 days in the ocean before shooting some Auburn fan to get tickets for Maui. Will watch it on tv.
As far as KState game, our tickets are going to be used, but Mrs. Best and I have a holiday conflict so will have to watch it on tv also. Prefer to be in our seats when we can. Promise I will be there if we host Penn State or some other team in the playoffs.

By increasing the overall average attendance of football games after decades of very lackluster attendance.... oh wait, that's not evidence.
"it's too cold"
"it's too hot"
in basketball, "we're playing Kansas City" as we have a top 5 team and the student section is half empty.
People nowadays are just full of excuses. And don't get me started on the Sukup End Zone Club people.
the attendance at the Cincy game....we were 7-2 heading into that game, still in contention for a conference championship game and we sold 9k less tickets than our seating capacity....and the excuses I heard were "it was too cold".........it was 45 degrees
I've successfully recruited a Cyclone fan from Iowa City/Coralville area to come up for the game Saturday!
Omg, same. I used to sit in right in the seats behind the middle of the goal posts back in the day. It was full to mostly full (unless the season was a complete disaster.)
Since bowling in SEZ/Sukup club I'm sure the revenue is up, but it looks awful on TV. Even during nice weather games seats look empty since everyone is in at the inside bar anyway. Oh well...
Taiwan #1! (if you get this reference I love you)

Yep, there was no excuse for that. Weather was a-okay for Cincy game.

By putting 53,000 people in the stadium two years ago on Thanksgiving break in 20-degree weather for a team that was 1-6 in the league at that point.
For almost singlehandedly keeping the Big 12 tournament in Kansas City.
For punching above our weight over and over and over again in bowl selection thanks to fan attendance.
For getting picked to go to Ireland because people know we will travel.
And these people are pissing themselves because a few thousand people didn't use their tickets for Cincinnati the week after Kansas destroyed us. Who exactly is soft here?
The people who have the ability to go but choose not to show up, lol.
FWIW - I have faith in Cyclone Nation. I think the stadium will look good on TV Saturday night (other than Sukup EZ Club huddled inside with empty seats outside.) It'll be a little cold, I get it.
I think there are more fair weather fans which is good because it means we're growing as a fanbase. They are a slightly loud minority. I am seeing a lot more dumb takes on twitter from burner accounts these days.
We're probably blowing out of proportion on this website but that's because we're passionate. It will sell out.
I was on the fence but decided to go for one simple reason. I've watched in person alot of *****, meaningless Iowa State games. I can't miss one that actually really matters.
This is why I'm excited for this game. I find in games where people really have to want to be there the crowd can be rowdy as hell.
Like the Covid year. I remember how the crowd was louder than the sound system for OU. 13k but we gave it hell.
Was Hilton packed for buy games at any point?
I went to conference games about twenty years ago and could sit about anywhere I chose. One was Tinsley's senior year vs. Tech as they were closing in on the regular season title.
When did this 'getting soft' start if it was apparently already in place?
