Does that mean that UMKC will have to play a game at Sprint for KC to host? That game would have to be against a national power in order for it to be more than .005% filled

KU and KSU take care of that but I see your point. I've been to the last few UMKC games in KC and it's sad when the opposing team out numbers the home team 2000 to 50.

They did. They played the defending national champions there on the 16th of Novermber.

Did the KU fans give complimentary autographs to the poor UMKC fans?

Can I get your autograph? That'd be fantastic!

kthxbye

Does that mean KU will play them there every year so KC hosting options are open...

KU plays there every year so that is always an option for hosting, I imagine UMKC will also always play a game there. It was actually part of the CBE Classic this year.

Don't know, I certainly didn't but I didn't run into any UMKC fans that were suffering from that much of an inferiority complex.

That's because UMKC fans don't exist. They're all KU bandwagoners.

Ok, didn't know that, I avoid anything with missouri in the name.

[Ricky Del Rio]

I believe it's a state law that bans the sale of beer at indoor facilities on State-subsidized property.

The NCAA doesn't allow sales of alcohol at events where it is the sponsor. That accounts for the lack of beer for baseball regionals.

I'd sooner not sell the ground under Koch to the city. With the marvelous job the city has done with the arena (no parking), the WaterWalk, the boat house, the levees, etc. I'd rather not trust the city with anything related to WSU.

Amen.

YES! A true Jayhawker!

Your school seems to avoid anything with institutional oversight in the name also...

Isn't the Coliseum state subsidized in some way? It's an NCAA rule, cause that's what they say before football games at KSU. Eck is also somewhat state subsidized, but it has beer sold there.

Well that was a zinger.

My top picks for an arena-opening game with the Shockers:
1) K State
2) KU (would never happen)
3) Tulsa
4) Texas A&M
5) OSU

reserve a block of seats for the students, give season ticket holders first shot at a substantial number of the remaing seats, and throw it open to the public for a sell-out.
And beer or no beer, I'd love to see a 1st/2nd round tournament bid for Intrust. I could almost walk to the games. In fact, I WOULD walk to the arena for that.
