Kansas State has announced the full schedule of ticket options for the 2013, and the University appears to be trying to accommodate a number preferences while still taking advantage of the excitement following the school’s first Big 12 Championship since 2003. In total, eight games will be played at Bill Snyder Family Stadium. Because the Wildcats only hosted four Big 12 opponents in 2012, they will play five league games at home during 2013’s round robin.

Unfortunately, the out-of-conference schedule lacks much sizzle. Although K-State thumped Miami at home last year, the home-and-away series with the Hurricanes is done. The season starts by hosting FCS North Dakota State, because if there’s one thing you can count on, it’s K-State playing a lower division school in nonconference play. However, ND State is no ordinary FCS program – it is notably the two-time defending FCS National Champion. The Wildcats have struggled out of the gate the past couple of years against inferior opponents, but won’t be able to afford such a hiccup this season.

K-State hosts two more nonconference opponents before Big 12 play – the Louisiana-Lafayette Ragin’ Cajuns (9-4, 6-2 in the Sun Belt) and UMass Minutemen (1-11, 1-7 MAC). Louisiana-Lafayette finished its season with a 43-34 victory over East Carolina in the New Orleans Bowl. In Big 12 action, K-State will host Baylor, West Virginia, Iowa State, TCU, and Oklahoma.

The University’s athletics website describes the following ticket options:
