Two of the best seats in Koch Arena lasted until the very end. Wichitan Larry Kloefkorn bought the last two season tickets available this season for Wichita State basketball Monday morning. He spent more than he planned, and he and his wife, Mary, will sit nine rows apart in Section 106. But he did it, providing another example of the over-the-top excitement for the Shockers.
WSU season tickets are sold out -- more than two months before the first game -- likely for the first time since the era of Antoine Carr and Cliff Levingston in the early 1980s. Koch Arena is the place to be once again in Wichita, and fans will gladly sit in the last row with an unobstructed view to be part of the yellow-and-black craziness.
Kloefkorn, 44, won't have to sit in the last row. His seats are close to the action, maybe too close for his taste. He is a big college basketball fan who watched the Shockers on TV last season. He put his name on the waiting list in March.
When WSU coach Mark Turgeon signed a 10-year extension on his contract in April -- after the Shockers' run to the NCAA Sweet 16 -- Kloefkorn decided the program's future would be worth the investment. He has lived in Wichita since 1988 and attended games on occasion. This is his first run as a season-ticket holder. . . . (read more)
