Welcome to Cyclone Country!

Someone may recommend going to "Welch," "Welch Ave," or "Campustown" for a beer after the game. I would not suggest this, especially if Kansas wins.

I would stay away all together. Win or lose, even before or after the game it's not a place I would recommend.

Earplugs and humility when you realize that Phog Allen is not the loudest arena you have ever been in.

Haha I went to KU. Allen Fieldhouse is plenty loud so I'm immune to loud noise. I sure am excited to experience the noise as an opponent this time.

Had to as disclaimer

Also, I hate how some of my fellow KU fans I know are turning their nose up at this game as if it doesn't mean much since we are "always good". Any college bball fan should be excited for this game. Going to be AWESOME.

Missouri is gone, we're your huckleberry.

Also, yeah, I planned on covering up the KU attire when I go out after the game. Last thing I need is some crazed Cyclone fan verbally attacking me, Lol.

I'm obviously unfamiliar with how seating is set up in Hilton. I'm in sec 213 row 11. Will I have an ok view?

Make sure to bring back the 3 points you still owe us.

If you are going to need parking, the visitor parking for games is on the West side of the lots. Some park on city streets. Donor parking is closest to Hilton and requires a parking pass. Post game can be a traffic jam sometimes. Fair warning, some of those farmer types with those huge pick-ups forget they are not out in the back 40. (sorry)

Ha. We shall see. I'm slightly biased and LOVE the Phog. As stated, I truly am excited to see Hilton and I'm not coming as one of those arrogant jerks. I want to be friendly and have a good time.

I'll trade you for 203, it's much better view there

In terms of parking, the hotel I'm staying at says it's only 1.3mi away from ISU campus so I was hoping to just be able to walk from there instead of dealing with arena parking.

Not really a bad seat in Hilton. It is in the balcony but that is a pretty decent view I would say.

You're saying 213 is a good view? It looks good based on seating chart.

 

[cyrevkah]

I think 213 is okay Not a corner though. I like our corner.

If you do decide to park it really isn't that bad. There is a huge public lot in front of Hilton. Sometimes it is slow getting out, but never really that bad. I almost feel the further south you park the sooner you will make it out.

There are no bad seats. And 213 us far from the worst.

I think he is just messing with you. 203 is behind the hoop up top. 213 is better.

Happy Hour pregame at Dublin Bay is good counsel but skip Hickory Park and go to Aunt Maude's post game the chili filet is a favorite of mine. They don't have a huge wine list but it is more than adequate.
