Team off to Texas for tournament
BY HALLIE MANN
hmann@kansan.com
You would think that heading from the flat, windy golf course of Lawrence to the flat and windy course in Lubbock, Texas, would provide some solace for the women's golf team heading into the Big 12 Tournament at Texas Tech. But competition will ensure that the conference tournament this weekend will be as tough as ever.
The team played on the Texas Tech golf course earlier in the season, but the high winds and rough greens would still be a challenge for the team, said coach Erin O'Neil.
"It will give us a little bit of an advantage since we know what the course is like but this tournament has a completely different feel to it," O'Neil said.
The conference tournament is the last regular season event for the team. Junior Emily Powers said the team was looking forward to the tournament. She said
that the team had been working on the parts of their game that they had struggled with the last few tournaments.
"The Big 12 is a pretty good conference and has a lot of really good teams," Powers said. "We want to see how we stack up against the other teams."
The team has been working its way up the rankings over the course of the season and is currently ranked 76th in the country and 11th in the conference. Sophomore Sydney Wilson said she thought the tough competition at the last tournament was a good warm-up for the teams at this tournament.
THE FAVORITES
"We've made our practices more directed, and it felt good to play a tough course before the Big 12." Wilson said.
Oklahoma State won the Big 12 Tournament in 2008 and is currently ranked first in the conference.
Texas is ranked second in the conference and senior Kelley Louth leads the Longhorns after playing a career-best tournament in Indiana. Texas A&M follows in third and has had two weeks since its last competition where sophomore Sarah Zwartynski led the Aggies with a season-best performance.
ACADEMIC ACES
Regardless of whether they win in the Big 12 tournament, Kansas had six players make the Big 12 All-Academic team for this season.
Junior Meghan Gockel had a 4.0 GPA, which put her on the first-team selection for the Big 12 for the second year in a row.
Along with Gockel, Powers and sophomores Meghna Bal, Grace Thiry, Jennifer Clark and Wilson all made the academic team.

Expensive seats don't sell at Yankee Stadium
BY RONALD BLUM
Associated Press
The most expensive spots in America's costliest ballpark have become an embarrassment packing a financial sting to the proud New York Yankees, as the Legends Suite section in the infield has been filled only once in the six games since the $1.5 billion stadium opened last week.
NEW YORK At the new Yankee Stadium, the best seats in the house have turned out to be the emptiest.
"We're done talking about seats," Yankees president Randy Levine said Wednesday. "We're not talking about seats."
On most days, the seats that cost $200-$2,500 as part of season tickets and go up to $2,625 for individual games haven't been close to full. And as TV cameras pick up the patchy attendance with every pitch, it serves as a little tweak to the nation's richest baseball franchise.
But fans sure notice.
"It's been pretty phenomenal," said Aaron Feldstein, a native Californian who lived in Brooklyn for a couple of years and now resides in Baltimore. He was part of the far-from-sellout crowd at the Yankees' game Wednesday against the Oakland Athletics on a show-
ery, cold afternoon. The Legend Suite section was about 80 percent empty, and the upper decks
"I remember watching and you couldn't find an empty seat at Yankee Stadium. And now right behind home plate there's 15 to 20," said the 29-year-old Feldstein, who scored a free ticket from a friend behind home plate — an area that costs $325 as part of season tickets.
— which have been mostly full — were a quarter empty.
Another snapshot of the problem:
A count by The Associated Press totaled 1,895 seats in the Legends Suite, of which 146 were in the front row from dugout to dugout, costing $2,500 as season tickets and $2,625 individually.
On Tuesday night, only 64 of the 146 seats at the top price level were occupied in the bottom of the second innings. The outermost Legends Suite sections, which each contain 90 seats, were entirely empty until two fans finally emerged to sit in them during the late innings.
On Wednesday, in the third inning, just 37 of the highest-priced, front-row seats were occupied, although it was impossible to know if some fans had taken shelter in stadium restaurants.
