@rockchalkjayhawk USA Today reported that college football attendance is down 9% across the board from last season and 15% from 3 years ago. I think the price is a lot of the problem in today’s economy. I remember getting GA tickets to AFH for conference games for $50 a pop 10 years ago and paying $10 for KU football tickets. To me it is obvious if you can’t sell out your prices are too high. Especially in Lawrence a city with over 90k people living it add in Topeka and KC within spitting distance. Right now they are starting to price out average fans across the sports world. Have 5 or 6 different subscriptions to watch sports. I called this a few years back when the espn plus started taking over. Heck I’ve pretty much completely stopped watch the royals. I refuse to buy more TV packages. I have espn plus and sling TV. If it’s not on those, I don’t watch.

Speaking of high priced tickets … I decided to not buy tickets to the Players 8 tournament in Vegas next week. I would have spent $400 for tickets to just two KU games for lower bowl seats. Too much!

@BeddieKU23 OOPS!!

@rockchalkjayhawk ya I don’t blame you, my kids are asking if we are going back to AFH this season and I’ve told I’m not sure it’s in our budget unfortunately.

@rockchalkjayhawk I was going to attend the Kentucky game. Usually my stubhub strategy is wait til game time and they nose dive in price. But i think Stubhub has somehow prevented that and the price just went up and up. At 6 PM they were around 120 for nosebleeds. So I stayed home!

Not attending the KU game despite living in LV now. Moving was about twice the cost we expected. Easier to follow all these new Jayhawks on TV anyway!

Kentucky needed a 3 at the buzzer to beat noted powerhouse Northern Arizona. I don't see Mark Pope surviving this season if Kentucky stays this bad. Unfortunate since KU won't be able to bigger all time lead on UK in all tome wins when we pass them again in a few weeks.

@Texas-Hawk-10 Northern Zona missed two one on ones in the last 12 seconds the first they rebounded then got fouled again. They make FTs, they win.

Yea, too bad for all of us. I try to get to a KU game as close to me as possible once every year or two. Maybe next year.
