    Visiting Hilton for the first time...Suggestions?

    Hahaha I knew I would get some backlash from defending the chant. All meant in a playful manner on my end. You all have been welcoming and friendly to me. Cheers to a good game.

    Alright, folks. Time to actually pay attention at work. Wanted to come here and get some good suggestions and I genuinely appreciate all of the kind help. I'll leave before more people bash the Rock Chalk and I get defensive haha. Best of luck on Monday!!

    Side note: former Cyclone, Marcus Fizer has occasionally been at the gym I play basketball at and that guy is still an absolute BEAST. Shame his NBA career didn't pan out better.

    When presidents claim it as the "greatest chant in all of sports", I think that's a pretty solid endorsement. I understand you all hating it, you've heard it so many times at the end of games we play each other.

    Ooh good call. Cabs after the game to a bar and then back to the hotel might be easiest...especially since I have no clue where I'd be walking and likely would get lost. Hopefully I'd end up wandering past the sorority houses haha

    If you replace "coolest and most original" instead of "douchiest", you'd be accurate

    Yeah I'm actually SHOCKED that nobody has given me the whole "f-- you, get off our message board. f-- KU". Hell, on the KU message board I write on I've come across WAY bigger a-holes than I have on here with you guys lol

    Visiting Hilton for the first time...Suggestions?

    Well, I was kind of hoping to go somewhere within walking distance of Hilton. Game will likely end around 10:30 or so, so I was looking for some drinks in Ames before heading to the hotel to sleep and drive back to Chicago tuesday morning.

    I'll apologize in advance. If we are winning, there's 100% chance I'll be doing the Rock Chalk. It's in my blood as a Jayhawk that a Rock Chalk is needed at the end of every win.

    This game is going to be terrific. Yeah, I know you all were a bit angry. I remember reading about the guy with the lovely, immature racial slurs towards Elijah Johnson haha. If anyone wants to be rude, I'll gladly kill them with kindness and they won't know what to do. I've been to games @...

    Haha I'm just teasing. I'll be in my normal gameday tshirt. Long sleeves, blue with "Rock Chalk Jayhawk" on it.

    I just googled "Iowa State message board" and saw this on there. I scrolled a few posts and you all seemed to know what you were talking about so I figured it was a good group to reach out to and find out some info on what to do on my quick visit to Ames.

    Nah, I'd rather look for people with "9 consecutive big12 champions" shirts. :)

    Ok, thanks for the insight. I live in Chicago now where it was just -50 with the wind chill. I survived that so I think I can survive whatever weather Ames has waiting for me

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

    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.
