Tailgating at the KU game

[Sparkplug]

Hey, I'm excited for Lot 90, Section 21/22, riding a shuttle and a victory.

Sections 25 and 26? Those are some crappy-*** seats. Any other sections known to be for the visitors? There are tickets available on StubHub around the 40 yard line lower level for $26/each.

What time are the CF buses scheduled to arrive at Lot 90? We'll be driving down separately but definitely want to be near ISU fans when we get there.

Pretty sure those are the official visitor's sections, so that is the place to be if you don't want to sit with a bunch of beaker fans. That said, there are some pretty cheap tickets to be had right now, so wouldn't blame anyone for upgrading their way to midfield.

The other thing to point out.
When Adam got these tickets awhile ago KU wasn't 0-7 1-8 (like now) so of course they are going to be cheaper now.

Advice message from a female HS friend of mine who went to KU, might provide some helpful info:

Sorry I'm a little slow! I'm glad you're going to a game in Lawrence. The town is fun!


Places to stay: The Oread
-two/three years new
-two blocks from the stadium, if you get the top floors you get a great view of campus and the stadium
-two or three bars (I've only been to the one on the main entrance floor), there is a club in the basement - The Cave (tried to go, but the line was too long), there is another bar/club (I think) on a different level (We didn't want to stalk the KU bball players that were going up there. I think it's kind of selective. Not sure!)


Sprinig Hill Mariott Suits or The Eldidge Hotel:
-Both are on the north end of Mass. St. so GREAT location for the night life
-Any and all good bars are on Mass. St.: Quinton's, Louise's, Red Lion (all good local and laid back bars - HUGE beers at Louise's!)
-Bars closer to the stadium: The Wheel (a Lawerence staple - **sister**'s husband HAS to stop there every time he is back, it's walking distance from the stadium); Louise's West (similar to the one on Mass St. but this one gets busy on game days because it is a few blocks from the stadium - fun place for before or after the game)


-If you don't mind walking, you can walk from Mass. St. to the stadium if you end up staying at Spring Hill Suites or The Eldridge. It's probably 10-12 blocks. Otherwise parking can be a mad house. I would suggest finding a side street on the north side of the stadium. You can park anywhere along there and then walk to the stadium. Tailgating and drinking can take place anywhere around the stadium. Sitting on the hill is a popular place for drinking for those who don't have a parking pass for a lot. Parking lots are reserved for those with passes.

The Oread and the Eldridge is pretty $$$ but they are really neat. My dad stayed in the Oread when he came and visited me. Not recommended for kids and people who wants to sleep (place gets really loud and they give you ear plugs!) The Eldridge is on downtown. Can't ask for better location. If you don't like ghost, definitely not the place for you. That place is haunted (for real).

Lot 90 isn't that far. I work pretty much right next to it. There is a shuttle that takes you over to stadium if you don't want to walk. My buddy (another die hard Cyclone fan) lives off of lot 90, we will definitely join you all then.

I am super psyched to see all of you are making trip to Lawrence!! Let me know if I can do anything to make your stay amazing in Larryville!
