Wildcat fans react to games at Arrowhead
9:40 p.m. Thursday, August 21, 2008
"I would love to go because I'm a huge football fan. Love the stadium, love the team, love everything about it."
"I think I would go to it. Probably carpool."
But not all students are planning on going to the game. Some say, it's not worth the drive.
"Probably not. I would rather not spend the money. It'll be on TV, that's just as good for me."
And the new game location may have an impact on Manhattan businesses.
"We're not gonna get the people coming into town that travel here for the games, stay the night at a hotel, and spend money in Manhattan."
But Sieben says if the game is televised, business will continue to thrive for them.
The new location has more room for your die hard fans.
Arrowhead's capacity is 79,000 compared to Snyder Family Stadium which seats 50,000.
"I think it would be great to get alumni, especially in the Kansas City area, to come to and it can house a lot of people."
Officials say each team is guaranteed almost $2 million per game.
"I think it'd be a great investment for the university and just publicity as well around the nation."
The first game is scheduled for October third, 2009.
