》THE RANT
BY RYAN COLAIANNIST
KANSAN SPORTS COLUMNIST
RCOLAIANNIST@KANSAN.COM
It has been more than a week since the athletics departments at Kansas and Missouri announced the move of the Border Showdown football game to Arrowhead Stadium.
I was not sure what to think when I first heard that the site would be moved. As a graduating senior, I have been fortunate to see two Kansas victories at Memorial Stadium against Missouri and have mixed emotions in seeing the game moved.
It makes sense for both athletics departments to move the game on a financial basis. The $1 million guaranteed money
that Missouri and Kansas will receive each year is nearly double what those departments can expect from a regular home game at either Memorial Stadium or Faurot Field.
The complaints by local businesses make sense, especially when you look at Kansas' home schedule next season. Who really gets excited for Central Michigan and Florida International? But these businesses have the luxury of seven home games in Lawrence. Since the NCAA now allows 12 regular season games, it gives Lawrence businesses one more home game than they had previously been used to. Yes, the only real marquee home game in Lawrence next year is Nebraska, but businesses will have ample opportunity to make money during the seven games.
The problem is these two teams are not national players. Since the inception of the Big 12 Conference, the game has had no influence on who wins the conference or even who wins the North division. It is
going to be difficult for this game to excite people on a national scale. Sure people in Kansas and Missouri are going to be excited, but why should someone from Florida or California care about this game? It will likely only determine which team will go to one of those bowl games with long-winded corporate names.
If this game is going to be a success and try to mimic what Florida and Georgia or Oklahoma and Texas have, the athletics directors need to be very careful in how they set this game up.
River Shootout each year is special because you can distinctly tell that the stadium is evenly split. Seeing burn orange on one side and deep red on the other is a great sight.
Second, sell from the bottom up. Do not release tickets in the upper deck until those in the lower bowl have been sold. That will eliminate a potentially embarrassing look
Just because the students aren't paying top dollar for the seats doesn't mean that they should be scattered around the upper deck.
First, the fans of the two team need to be split by side. Sell tickets to Missouri fans on one side of the stadium and sell tickets to Kansas fans on the other. Watching the Red
on television.
R em b e r
the scene two
years ago when
Kansas played
Oklahoma at
Arrowhead?
of empty seats. That would make both programs look terrible and likely eliminate this idea from being extended past the two years that has been agreed on.
I'm a gine someone turning the game on and seeing pockets
Third, include a ticket to the
game in the student ticket package.
Yes, I understand that the game is during Thanksgiving break, but the students are a huge part of this rivalry, and thousands of students from Johnson County and Wichita will likely make the trip to Kansas City for the game. Without them, this will look like an NFL pre-season game. If the athletics department doesn't want to include the ticket in the package, make sure that tickets are available to students for $10.
Fourth, establish actual student sections. Students need to be seated together in the lower level. Just because the students aren't paying top dollar for the seats doesn't mean that they should be scattered around the upper deck.
Lew Perkins and Mike Alden can ensure that this game is a success if they do it right.
