Another thing about Iowa.... there are MANY Hawkeye football fans. As mediocre of a program as it may be considered to people residing outside of Iowa, it is undeniable that the program has a big, loyal fanbase. However, many of them are on the fence about which NFL team to root for because we don't have one in our state.
IF Ferentz went to KC and succeeded
and
IF Stanzi does prove himself to be a legit NFL QB (he was a popular figure in Iowa)
and
IF Moeaki bounces back from his knee injury.......
many of these "on the fence regarding which NFL team to root for" Iowa fans may become Chiefs fans.
Kansas City is not far away from Iowa to the point where Iowans wouldn't be willing to purchase tickets and commute to watch the games on a semi-regular basis. The move could put more butts in the seats if everything worked out in successful fashion.... but that's a big IF.
You should see the Hibbett Sports Store in Iowa City.... most Chiefs apparel is Stanzi or Moeaki-related... with a few Cassel/Charles jerseys sprinkled in there. The last time I went to Hibbett's, the Stanzi jerseys were sold out with an exception of 1 youth jersey.
