I will first start out by apologizing if I am repeating a thread.

I read the story The Good, Bad, Ugly and it brought up a good point that I haven't heard anyone bring up yet.

Why is this game not being played at the Arizona Cardinals new stadium INDOORS so the game could be more of a spot light game by starting earlier?
 
They are completely different parts of the state. Why would AZ want to give up a home game?
 
Teams do it all of the time. Why is the Clowns playing K-State at Arrowhead this weekend?
 
It would be unfair for them to play us at home, then us to play them at a "neutral" site. Unless it's a non-AQ team, i do not see another AQ team agreeing to play us at a neutral site, even though technically it would be in their home state. (an example of what i mean is a team with a semi-strong following like Buffalo playing us at the new Meadowlands, or like when NIU agreed to play us at Soldier Field.)

It benefits the non-AQ teams (ability to put more butts in the seats & create a bigger school atmosphere) where i feel as though it would hurt the AQ teams because in a way it would feel as though it was a road game throwing off pre-game routines.

I would like to play either Kansas or Kansas State at Arrowhead once, that stadium is the loudest in the NFL, and it was recently renovated.
 
The game isn't just late because of the heat, it's late because it's in PST. A 7:30 start would be when we would schedule a night game in Iowa City too.
 
Anybody who's going to attend this game should be thrilled it's NOT being played at University of Phoenix stadium. I'd hate to have a brand new stadium that must be one of the least fan-friendly ever put together. I saw Kurt Warner and the Cardinals there last season, and there's not a decent seat in the house. The stands are a mile from the sideline, and the upper reaches might as well be on another planet. Be glad the Hawks are playing in that Legoland facility in Tucson.
 
Come on Goods, why would arizona agree to play their home of the home and home off campus??? So your students couldn't show up???? Why would Arizona want to play it in Arizona state's territory????? So ASU fans could root against them? So less Arizona fans show up that Hawk fans could gobble up the tickets??? Maybe Iowa should of played the game last year in Ames, seem like a good idea to you??? Clones/k'state was both teams playing off campus for two years both giving up their home games. I'm sure the clones would of signed up for home game in Jack Trice and road game at Arrowhead, but doubt K-state would dig that. OKY/Texas game is always neutral site, what I always wondered about that game is..... Why would Oklahoma agree to have the game in Dallas every year at the Texas State Fair????? How in any way does that help Oklahoma football or the state of Oklahoma? Seems like it does both for Texas. I guess just more reasons for why OKY is the Longhorns *****. Hey Nebreska called and said let's Have the Nebbie/iowa game at the nebreska state fair in Omaha...hey it's in Nebreska, but not In Lincoln.....Umm I think Iowa would probably pass.

Nebraska State Fair is in Lincoln, but I get the point. He's just bringing up a point why do we have to chastise the guy for it? It is an interesting question.

Whits you should probably tell everyone that I have been owning you for YEARS and that you have been sucking for YEARS. hahaha
 
Iowa Mike you must SERIOUSLY be on crack bro.... Not a decent in U of P stadium?!?!??! I take it you sat in all 67,000 seats then? Please..... I am an Iowa Transplant here in Phoenix and been here 12 years and I am also a HUGE Cardinals fan and season ticket holder for the cardinals, it is an AMAZING stadium, I remember the NFC Championship game against the Eagles you could not even hear your own thoughts, and last year against the Packers was NUTS, That place is AWESOME place to watch football.....
