How is watching in the P&L? I'm thinking about going down with friends and just watching outside, instead of spending money and hassle of tickets. Is it really crowded? Beer/food service decent, or just too many people?
It was pretty fun last year, but it is crowded. When we watched on Friday last year, the early game was ISU-KU and the late game was KSU-OSU. We got into the P&L right before tip for the ISU game as we had been searching for tickets right up until then. It was already crowded and we had to do some searching for a spot where we could see the screen, but we eventually found one - probably one of the last open spots where it would be comfortable for a group to watch from. The place was 55-60% or so KU fans, 25% KSU, and maybe 15% ISU with <5% OSU or other (saw at least a couple guys in Mizzou polos).
Tons of places to go in the P&L for drinks or whatever, and the big screen that they have the game on is pretty cool. KU fans are KU fans, especially when they're beating your team.
If your plan all along is to just hang out in the P&L, you shouldn't have trouble with the crowd. Like I said, we were looking for tickets right up to tip, so we got in late. It's a pretty good time if you can handle being around some KU fans that are drunk enough to tell you how they really feel about KU.
