Why are there so many empty seats here at the pull tonight?

Saw a video posted on FB and wondered the same thing. Can't blame it on weather this year. Maybe the crowd will show up tomorrow night.

We thought we would go Saturday night and see what kind of entertainment we could arrive at. Don't expect to much so maybe we won't be to disappointed. We will see I guess.

Thought it was the biggest Friday night crowd they have had. For sure the best track and pull. Big building and I think they said it holds 17,000 people so it is always going to look pretty empty. I would say they might have had 2000 people plus another 500 in suites and the halls. Just a guess but at about $22 bucks a head maybe 80 to 100 grand. Talked to a lot of people going to night and sure are running pull better.

Best pull they have had at the farm show. I have been to every session, except Friday night last year with the snow. Lots of excitement with pull offs and trucks and tractors hitting the sand pile. Track was awesome killing some tractors right before the sand pile. Pulling finish order wasn't decide by when you hooked as early and late hooks both won. Light super class was the best they have had and the new class of smoker tractors put on a great pull. Heard the bottom ring holds about 5000 people and maybe half full but hard to tell with a building that big. Couldn't ask for a better pull than what our group saw last night and everyone looking forward to tonight.

Better check your math. 2500 people @ $22 is $55,000.

Glad to hear the track was better and they are running the pull better.

As a puller and promoter, I appreciate every puller and promoter that tries a new venue and indoor pulling has really started a comeback the last decade. Gordyville, Eastern Extreme event in PA, Ohio, Nebraska.

Nothing happens over night when building a brand. That is what we are doing, bringing pulling back to the masses. I have always wondered why the crowd isn't bigger there as well, I want promoters to make money. This is the first year I have missed the pull in Kansas City. I do know the Sat night crowd in the past has always been twice of the Friday night crowd. Let's all stay positive, keep having fun and helping promoters get bigger crowds so eventually they can pay us more to do our hobby.

Funny how some of the first negative post on this thread was from the same old boys that have been praising everything that PPL does and bashing everything related to Outlaw for the past 3 months. Wouldn't put much stock in what they have to say if they were even at the pull. Good pull last night and any association would be hard pressed to put on as good of pull as we saw last night. I thought for $22 it was much better than what I paid last week at Louisville and everyone got a free program that walked through the door. Sure this pull has lots of sponsorship and all the suites were full with lots of banners and the big screen was great as usual. Thought the crowd was pretty good for a 6:00 start on Friday and just kept getting bigger as the might went on. Looking forward to tonight.

I thought maybe the numbers of entries would be a little higher.

I'm not positive but I think they limit entries to a maximum of 10 per class.

You know what's funny about the two outlaw bashers at the top of the page is they have never pulled with outlaws ever in their life.

Re: Western Farm Show Crowd February 23, 2014 02:39AM
Well here goes, as I say on a earlier post I went there Saturday night not expecting much ,but I did get a very pleasant surprised. The Pull was very well put on and they run 5 class with basically 50 hook and were out of there around 10:30ish, couldn't ask for a better finish time and I am going to congratulate Doug for a show well run. They had one pulloff with 2 tractors and the rest worked out fairly well I thought, if they had reset the sled it would have still been 50ish hooks. Much better show than past years and I'm looking forward to next year but was hearing rumors that they way be tearing Kemper Arena down to build a better arena? any confirmation to that? This is a very positive event for the Western Farm Show and I hope it continues to happen at least in some form. Numbers on classes and total hooks were about right for the ideal getting done time. The one thing I think they need to do is open the doors to get in to the seating at 4:00 instead of 4:45 to 5;00 like they did Saturday. I also want to commend the Bungart sled team for a job well done and done in a very profession manner,(I won't name names because I would miss someone) CONGRATS for a job well done, I know it didn't come easy and required about a week or more worth of effort. I'm saying it may have very well been one of the better WFS pulls since the reincarnation of this event.

The Kemper family is wanting it tore down and a new facility built to be used strictly for ag related events. They have already raised almost 10 million dollars but the city is having trouble coming up with the rest. The new arena will only seat 5,000 people if they build as planned

you don't need facebook to view that video, anyone can go there and watch it. i only bother posting this because everyone makes it a huge deal saying "I don't have facebook" when they obviously aren't even bothering to click on the link. otherwise they'd realize they can see pretty much all of these videos.

I know that there is the arena downtown at the convention center. Is there another large stadium in KC? Haven't been then in a few years.

Good pull both nights! I wish somehow they could fill the spots of the pullers who couldn't get their equipment ready. I know of a couple guys that sent their money in and it was returned. To bad they couldn't have a list of replacements and make the pullers that are signed up to verify that they are going to be there. JMO, but still a good show!

The track is a power track like Louisville and within 20 to 25 feet of being the same length. This will be a must see pull now and I bet in a year or so they will have to open up the top section. Great pull and the powers to be have this pull going in the right direction now with the changes they made. Bid crowd at the western farm show this year and they have to be pleased with the pull and what it brings to the show.

Re: Western Farm Show Crowd February 24, 2014 02:16AM
I like the new setup they ran at the farm show. About 8 to 10 per class and a total of 50 hooks each night made heck of a difference. Kind of like the finals at Louisville both nights. I know of some that got entered in just the last week or two because others could not get parts and some break at Louisville and not enough time to fix. What a difference in the track and I remember the first year no smoke machine and 180 feet was a full pull in the sand and the pull got over about 1:30 in the morning with less hooks than they have now each night. What a difference now with power track and it is now 220 feet for a full pull in the sand and they hooked around 45 hooks and were done by 10;30. Made a big difference in the this pull and I bet the crowd will get bigger ever year now. Biggest Saturday crowd this year I have ever seen at the pull. Hats off to everyone that that made the changes and made it happen. Looking forward to next year.

No doubt this was the best western farm show pull they have had since they started 4 years ago. Everyone was talking about how good Friday night pull was at the farm show on Saturday and didn't hear any negative comments. I think they have got their act together at the pull and Saturday night pull was just as good. I think this pull will get a lot more people to come next year. Have not been to Louisville pull in 3 years mainly it just cost to much for tickets, travel and hotel rooms. I enjoyed this pull just as much and a lot cheaper. Want to give a big shout out on the free program we got at the pull. That has to be the best program I have seen and my kids have wore it out looking at it. I think that program at Louisville was 5 bucks when I went last and that along with the fact we have got our ticket from one of the exibitors at farm show the last 2 years makes it affordable to take the whole family with out selling the farm. Thanks to all involved with the western farm show. Good job.

Good to see the different FFA groups at the pull on Friday and Saturday night. You do not see that much at Louisville anymore since the admission price got so high.
