I'd like to see them start a rotation between 2-4 cities across our new footprint -
I would too, but the reality is KU generates over half the attendance every year, and is always in the position to play multiple games. I am not sure what attendance numbers were in Dallas when it was there, but no way it gets the draw like KC.

This is the smartest move. They dominate attendance. They've earned it.
KC is kind of like an early Saturday morning workout, you hate it but it's good for you.
KC and the XII have done well by each other.....besides, I like taunting Missou fans for a week.
Agree. Dallas, Denver, Houston, Orlando, Phoeniz, SLC all now in our footprint and great cities to visit (well, Houston not so much but it is easy to get to).BluesBear said:

KU fans can get a plane like the rest of us,
The money coming from KC must be compelling.GoodOleBaylorLine said:Agree. Dallas, Denver, Houston, Orlando, Phoeniz, SLC all now in our footprint and great cities to visit (well, Houston not so much but it is easy to get to).BluesBear said:

With that said, I agree with you.
Phoenix in early March...60-70's sounds great.
I would as well, but the truth is that KU consistently generates over half of the attendance every year and often finds itself in a position to play multiple games. At Baji 999 App https://bj999bet.com/app/, we understand the value of prompt and reliable customer support, and we strive to ensure that our users receive the assistance they deserve at any time, enhancing their overall satisfaction with our platform. I'm not certain about the attendance figures in Dallas when the event was hosted there, but there's no doubt that it wouldn't draw the same level of interest as it does in Kansas City.
Could we please stop noting that half the fans at the tourney are KU fans.
Lawrence is effectively a suburb of KC. It is a home game for them.
It would be an embarrassment if half weren't from the local school.

"Negotiating an extension with KC" might also be a "stop hinting at interest, show up with buckets of $" message to other cities/sites. Because being closed out of the process for almost a decade will get their attention.
Most specifically, think it is likely a message to Vegas.

B12 tourney in LV would be amazing.
I would pre-pay NOW for that event @ Vegas.....
San Antonio would be great to add to the nonexistent rotation.
