I recently heard something along the lines of "economic impact on host cities is in the billions". Is this true? Probably for all host cities in aggregate. Certainly not for a single host city. It isn't a local team (unless the USA draws your city), so you could potentially have 40 to 60k or more p...

Mo/Ks border war mentioned on John Oliver. KC segment starts around minute 12.

29 for appearance. 30 for wins.

Not for long! Bye Kansas!

Iowa State, surprisingly, always seems to be the team that really packs them in.

Supposedly these are weather testing lights, and hopefully there will be more to follow.
