Hey KSU NATION!  :ksu:

I'm a Hokie (Virginia Tech) undergrad, but for the past 4 years I've been taking classes remotely at KSU to get my Masters in Engineering. My friend and I are both traveling to Manhattan (for the first time ever) to defend our masters on October 24-26. We are planning on attending the KSU/Texas game while we are in town. We'd love some input from true KSU fans. Things like...

- Best places to buy tickets. Is scalping a good option?
- Suggestions on best places to sit for KSU fans. We are willing to pay around $100 per ticket but definitely don't want to sit with the Texas fans. Where do the rowdy KSU fans usually sit?
- General gameday suggestions for cool things to see
- Places we MUST see and great places to eat in manhattan
- Where to buy KSU gear. Shirts, etc.
- Best bars?

Looking forward to the season and especially making the trip to Manhattan!  :billdance:

Last I checked there was no "power engineering" degree, sorry bub.

These guys are huge a-holes. Is it too late to get a refund on those correspondence courses?

Don't listen to them wildhokie, most of these kids still live in their moms basement.  Welcome to the most informative message board in the world. 

You'll want to try and get a room at the Bluemont hotel.  It's opening this fall and right by campus and Aggieville (bar district).  Just follow the lead of what everyone else on here does/goes and you'll be all set.

I think going to so long and getting a shirt at thread would be a good idea.  I would also recommend getting tickets ahead of time as scalping market is very uneven.

There's a really good Olive Garden in town. It's a little pricey but you've got that Virginia Tech money. :kstategrad:

Thanks meow meow and Kat Kid. All the rooms were booked for that weekend so we got a room at at Americas Best Value Inn (doesn't have great reviews but was the closest place to campus with available rooms).

Will definitely check out so long and thread.

Mainly concerned about where in the stadium to get tickets. I'd just prefer not to be in the visitor section.

Make sure you do not purchase tickets in the visitor section, in that case.  If you avoid doing that, you should be surrounded by a destruction of wildcats.

I would recommend looking for east side club level seats or west side sections 5-11.

You might be able to grab a pair if you diligently check the third party sites starting now.

I have no idea how hard or difficult it is to get in to the student section now.

Hey KSU NATION!  :ksu:

I'm a Hokie (Virginia Tech) undergrad, but for the past 4 years I've been taking classes remotely at KSU to get my Masters in Engineering. My friend and I are both traveling to Manhattan (for the first time ever) to defend our masters on October 24-26. We are planning on attending the KSU/Texas game while we are in town. We'd love some input from true KSU fans. Things like...

- Best places to buy tickets. Is scalping a good option? Buy tickets from other KSU buds on craigslist or that powercat ticket exchange thing

- Suggestions on best places to sit for KSU fans. We are willing to pay around $100 per ticket but definitely don't want to sit with the Texas fans. Where do the rowdy KSU fans usually sit? The best seats(I think) are West stadium chairbacks(tons of tucks tho), my seats are south endzone/bowl and I like them

- General gameday suggestions for cool things to see Get there early, bring tailgate stuff, lots of booze and food, be nice to Robert when you see him

- Places we MUST see and great places to eat in manhattan So long's, Taco Lucha, Cox Bro's BBQ, Jimmy John's(after the bars close Saturday night/Sunday morning)

- Where to buy KSU gear. Shirts, etc. Varney's or the new K-State Super Store

- Best bars? Aggie Station, So Longs, Kites is ok, if you feel dirty definitely Tubby's dance side, even dirtier Rusty's

Looking forward to the season and especially making the trip to Manhattan!  :billdance:
