I’m not sure what you mean by “benefit KC”. KU vs. MU = sellout. KU vs. mid-major = sellout. It has no effect on ticket sales and filling P&L with fans. The city isn’t losing any money, only MU.
If you mean that a KU-MU game would make MU fans happy, then who gives a shit, its not KU’s job to appease MU fans no matter what city they live in. If you think a KU-MU game would please KU fans, then you don’t know the same KU fans I do.
As for the Arrowhead argument, that’s a reeruned comparison, since Sprint Center seats 19,000 and Arrowhead seats almost 80,000.
