Kansas State football fans tend to travel well when the Wildcats are on the road, and their season-opener at Stanford will be no exception.
K-State athletic director John Currie told me Thursday afternoon that the school sold its entire visiting allotment of 4,000 tickets for the game. But he is expecting a larger purple contingent in the stands, perhaps higher than 6,000 fans.
“We hear from other Kansas State fans that purchased their tickets directly from Stanford and from other outlets,” Currie said. “I think 6,000 fans is a pretty reasonable expectation for the game, which is pretty darn good.
