🏀 KuBuckets Archive

Got Vernon's news letter and he said that Ku could be playing s many as FOUR games at Arrowhead next Season with construction going on. - -Also the possibility of playing our entire Season at Arrowhead
.
They gave reasons for being positive about the move saying that KU could add as much as 30 Million in Revenue for us

Another benefit would be they said would be much faster construction timeline for Phase 1 - - uninterrupted construction , would reduce costs and risks of unforeseen delays.

The one thing they did talk about was our tax money something like that crossing over into Missouri. - -Sure looks/sounds like we playing probably at least four games in Arrowhead next Season

@jayballer67 Hope we play better than the Chiefs. Sorry.

Your Chiefs are gonna be ok bud , they will get it figured out.- --So what you think about KU in Arrowhead bud ? - -Vernon always has a survey at the end of his letter , sk how you feel and gives you multiple answers you can check. - -I mark it as I like the idea - but don't love the ides. - -they had others like I love it - - I don't like it but don't hate it -& I hate it -what's your take.

I mean if it can speed the procedd I'm all for it - the bad part is you lose the College atmosphere, -- then back on the other hand , if you can generate more revenue - -thats a good thing.

@jayballer67 I think a lot of college kids would love to play there. And if that speeds up our process, I'm all for it

Will KU fans turn out so that it has a home field advantage?

Well I guess there are a few things that need worked out to be finalizes , but sounds like a sure thing. - -Big thing I think is like you say & just losing that on campus enviroment.

Playing at Arrowhead I would think takes away to a degree anyways of coziness home field feeling, now we getting sell outs - -just kind of indifferent at this stage. I see Pro's and Cons each way.

If we play at the Booth our capacity for next yr will be greatly reduced - -I just don't know

Probably not. The students for sure won't.

Who will drive them home?

Busing would be a good idea

@FarmerJayhawk Good. Then they won't leave at halftime. Or if they do show, they Kansas City bars will benefit.

@nuleafjhawk there will be tens of more customers in KC!! What a great stimulus

Will be hard on Lawrence’s game day economy. Bummer, but it’s the cost of business.

Those cranes really just tearing the heck out of things - -THAT my KU brothern is called -- PROGRESS - when this thing is done it is gonna be Really really . -- not sure where in the hell phase two money is coming from but I'm sure they will get it done. 450 mil for phase one -- WOW- - -gettin busy in the snow
