Visiting Hilton for the first time...Suggestions?
- Thread starter jayhawkvisitor
- Start date
They didn't even do the chant last year because the KU fans at Hilton knew they might just be beaten to death if they did. I hope we just destory KU and they all walk out Hilton like they had something shoved up their collective *****.
Another Jayhawk fan here that was just reading through the thread.
First, all my respect for Johnny Orr. I think everyone liked Johnny. There is no doubt that he will be missed.
Second, as far as the "Fox 1" Lounge, it's possible that whoever named the place was a combat pilot. In air combat a pilot will call "Fox 1" on the radio to indicate that he launched a radar missile. "Fox 2" indicates a heat-seeking missile, and "Fox 3" indicates that the pilot is firing guns. Just throwing it out there.
Looking forward to a great game on Monday!
I think that's right, too. The old British Foods grocery that was on Lincoln Way is in there now.
Well, that's genius. I never have heard that before! Thanks!
This place has been around since last fall and no one started a thread on it. I've lost all faith in this message board. My world is crumbling.

Just have fun! Hilton is one of the best unknown secrets in college bball. Even when we suck, Hilton is great but having a top ten team makes our arena that much better! Have a clone cone for sure, welch ave is fun for partying after but keep in mind lots of drunk college kids you'll probably get crap with KU gear on. Come back and let us know how your first Hilton experience was!
I wouldn't recommend walking, both in terms of general safety late at night if you are drinking (a guy got hit and killed on US 30 after the KU football game) and especially if you are wearing KU gear (which is bound to attract negative attention).
Parking is free in the public lot (west side of big lot). Better to drive to the game and back to the hotel. Then use a hotel shuttle or cab from your hotel.
Frankly, I wouldn't expect you to have a very good time at a local club unless you have really thick skin and like being the antagonist (which it sounds like you might). Do you recognize how much we dislike KU basketball in Ames? Win or lose, ISU fans really won't want to have you around.
This place has been around since last fall and you are just now hearing about it? I've lost all faith in your social circle
I only read the first page, but I kinda like this guy. That doesn't make me a bad person, does it?
I felt like I was reading a transcript from an old Bruce Lee movie.
I love your Cyclones haha... But my Jayhawks WILL prevail haha... Let me have your women haha... They will fall to my false manners haha...

You staying overnight? Try the Grove Cafe on Main St. for breakfast. It's a tiny hole-in-the-wall, but serves the biggest and best pancakes in town. You'll have to wait in line though.
He seemed cool until he tried to convince us that the RockChok chant is the best chant ever and we should embrace it with the KU fans.
No doubt and they will suffer my wrath for their lack of social awareness.
This is first game back for the semester for students. They have been on good behavior at the parents and will have a lot of bad behavior to release.
If you run around the top balcony with a KU flag.....you will receive a clothesline tackle. FREE Have fun and enjoy what Hilton has to offer.
This. I expect a very hostile crowd Monday night because of this and the way last years game went down. Btw does anybody know who is on call for ESPN? I imagine it is Musberger and Fraschilla again but I never saw anywhere confirming that.
