No flame at all but I thought all WSU games have been sold out for several years now. Guess I'm wrong?

I'll give you the benefit of the doubt....I think there were about 45 straight sellouts before that run ended sometime last season.

Still probably have averaged around 99% sold over the last 7-8 years.

While not technically sell outs, every game averages around the 9,700 to 10,000, IIRC. What about Bramlage (for men's games not women's, as including women's games would skew the number upward)?

I dont think we have had any game under 10,000 in quite a while

[BCSCat]

The Bram is nearly sold out for the year at 12,560. There were around 200 single game and a few season tickets left that go on sale Thursday. Hard to compare to WSU as so many of us drive a long ways to get to games so there aren't always butts in seats (though the seats are sold) especially in the non-con. We have only missed the Xavier game because of the snow but it's tough getting home at midnight after the weeknight games. I would never want to switch Alma Maters but it must be nice to have a 20 minute drive home after a game. :D

There are about 20 people I can think of off the top of my head that travel an hour if not two hours to WSU games loser.

Yes we know that 90% of the KSU fanbase is in the rural agriculture population but please spare me with your ignorant bs.

No argument here. We had bad teams and most 'Cat fans spent their money on football. I see that WSU attendance suffered with poor teams also. KU averaged about 7500 in Ted Owens last season. Attendance in the early years at the Bram and in Ahearn was much higher because we had good teams and football not so much.

I said I wasn't flaming - I was just curious about the attendance at WSU games.

I have to think 90% of the fans at WSU (except your "friends") are from the Wichita area but the percentage of KSU fans from Salina, Wichita, Topeka and KC at any game is high.

And thanks for such a classy response to an honest question about your school. Nice representation.

[dregn]

Out of curiosity how many free tickets are alloted to students at KSU? I know WSU is 1100, but rarely all are given out. They then try to sell them to the general public, not sure if they still count all of the tickets towards attendence though, but technically they are "sold" tickets.
