Let me preface this by saying I am the definition of a gracious opposing fan. Never yell, hardly even clap. I have been twice, and can say both experiences were dreadful.
First time, was on crutches with a broken leg, and got things thrown at me as I crutched in to my seat, then while attempting to get down the aisle, was knocked off balance by a lady to the point the guy in the row in front of me had to literally catch me. The lady turned around, saw what she'd done, and didn't so much as say sorry before resuming her conversation.
Second time I as literally not allowed to enter the arena without accepting some stupid KU shirt they were handing out.
Both times, had people cheering AT us and making rude comments even as we continued to be gracious (not to mention we were down by like 30) for the entire game.
I personally have no plans of ever going back, and vehemently disagree that KU fans treat visitors like any other team. KU just has too many Tshirt fans who live vicariously through KU basketball and thus think they are better than you, and they take every opportunity to let you know about it because it lets them sleep at night.
Don't get me wrong, I'm sure it's a cool environment to experience and I would be surprised if anyone gave you any serious flack with your daughter there, but my experiences have thus far only augmented my hatred for that fanbase.
-
But dat guy cot u doe
-
My first will be tomorrow, recap inc.
-
Drove by it once with my architecture friend. He said he wouldn't step a foot in there because it looked like it could collapse any day now.
-
Went once before. Sat with my Grandpa (KU season ticket holder). No problems.
Going tomorrow. :ohno:
-
Went to this game http://scores.espn.go.com/ncb/boxscore?gameId=310052305 (http://scores.espn.go.com/ncb/boxscore?gameId=310052305).
Was during break, student section was filled with native americans that got free tickets (haskell dance team was the halftime entertainment. was cool.)
I was having a good time, until the end of the game when KU was up 40 but still driving the lane and shooting ridic shots just to hit 100, which kinda ticked me off.
Overall, cool place to watch a game. Would recommend.
-
Oh, thought we were only talking about KSU-KU games. :dunno:
I've also seen them play Texas in 2009, North Texas in 2010, and Georgetown this year. They were mean to the Georgetown fan that sat by us even when they were up 20. :frown:
-
Would you say they are the basketball equivalent to Raiders fans?
-
did this really deserve a gpc copy and paste? seems like a pretty reasonable thread to start on your own.
-
Went to the 2006 game. Smuggled my KSU flag and collapsible flag pole in, hoping for a miracle even though we had just played the worst game I had ever seen against Nebraska earlier in the week. After we won, I went nuts waving my flag. Some woman yelled something at me, but I couldn't understand her. I don't speak meth.
Will never go back. I like being able to say I have never been to a game in AFH where KSU lost.
-
BostonPancake, please go to the game tomorrow!
-
BostonPancake, please go to the game tomorrow!
Couldn't even if I wanted to. Sorry. :frown:

got called 'purple pussy' and 'purple man of taste and distinction' a lot.
-
The last time I went, I stood up to cheer and someone put chewed gum on my seat so I sat back down in it. Classy.
A good portion of the seats are really crappy and, of course, the fans are obnoxious. There's a reason it's called Snob Hill and I will never go back.

Wow now this one is clearly copy+paste.
-
People say Snob Hill like it's a bad thing...
-
I went last year and the place is like an old 1920's farmhouse that had a minor facelift and some fresh paint slapped on it. I mean I get that it's old and historic and all but the concourse's were very cramped and stuffy.
"Hey is that my friend over there? I cant tell because there are like 15 pillars in the way"
Don't even get me started on the bathrooms or parking situation.

No doubt. It's definitely not a place you'd want to host the 2A state championship in.
-
Have been 3 times.
1st time when I got home my mom told me I smelled like urine afterwards.
2nd time my dad said the same thing.
3rd time my wife said I smelled like burnt popcorn and urine.
-
I've been once. The Cats won.

That place is a morgue, no desire to go.

Can confirm
-
Went in 2004. We didn't get destroyed, lost by 10 I think. Frank Richards had something like 20 points.
-
Have had a few opportunities to see the Cats play in that dump, unfortunately none were a win.
A couple stick out. Went to the Beasley game and had amazing seats (company tickets). When we arrived and took our seats, an old blue-hair female KU fan looked at me like I was a leper and made her husband switch seats so he was stuck next to me.
Last time I went was the pre-2012 Cotton Bowl game (left for Dallas immediately following game). We left before the whole Rock Chalk crap and as we were walking down the steps an old man heckled us. I immediately turned around and said, "We're headed to the Cotton Bowl to watch a top-10 football team, something you wouldn't know anything about old man."
Don't care if I ever go back to that hell hole.

My experience is not game-related. Took daughter to summer band camp at KU, and had to kill time between visiting her at one of the gargantuan dorms on the west side of campus, and watching an orchestra performance in a music hall on the central campus. Don't know how the opportunity presented itself since there was basketball camp at AFH, but had to piss really bad when I was walking past, and managed to take a piss on AFH. Right when I zipped up a group of junior-high age kids with their parents walked by, so am lucky I didn't get caught and cop an indecent exposure charge, and would never try it again. Hope that didn't contribute to the widely-reported urine smell problem at the Fog.
-
EMAW piss probably improved the smell of that place.
-
I just want to say... thanks for not totally sucking. I am actually really excited for this game, and after the way your season started out, I didn't think that would happen. :Rusty:
-
I went the year the Cats went to the NIT under Frank.
Down 18-0 to start. Darren Kent hit a 3 to put us on the board. It was fun cheering over the top for that shot.
The cats actually pulled within 3 in the 2nd half, but Pullen missed a 3 that would've tied it. Lost by 14ish.
Didn't have any problems with the fans.

59-55

Went to the game today. First time in Allen. I crap you not I was sitting behind a column. Could see maybe half the court without leaning over while sitting. :shakesfist:
Was okay otherwise I guess. The place got loud sometimes, but really kinda underwhelming based on what I heard. Maybe it was quieter since I was sitting (literally) in the rafters.
Still can't believe that is a seat people regularly get tricked into paying for.

fanning cleared it up - he meant girls (bazongas) and not boys
-
Was at the game today. Crowd pretty clueless on the rules of basketball other than them yelling "sheep humper man of taste and distinction" down at us. All in all, pretty typical game in Lawrence. They pour 364 days of the year into this game and it's probably good we give them something to feel good about. BTW, I have been to every Big12 arena and most of the Top 25 blueblood teams and this being my 4th time at the pissbarn, they are the most uneducated and clueless fans in the conference.

Went once as a young child. Saw a horde of crap rats running amuck in the concourse area pissing on everything in sight and scavenging for any and all available snacks. KU fans did not notice. Developed plague-like symptoms 2 days later. Medication was required. Lost eyesight for a day and a significant amount of weight. Have not been back since. Always concerned for our teams' health every time they go to Chernobyl Fieldhouse. Smelled like pissing also.
-
Saw Clinton give a speech there, post-presidency. He rocked, even through it was hotter than hell with no air conditioning, which (you can imagine) created a yellow urine phog so bad the only thing I could see on the other side of the field house was Mangino taking up about half a bleacher section. Horrible seating. Wife kept kneeing the person sitting in front of her.
Sqwawk fans fetishize the pisshole. Can't imagine how much they'd inflate a place that was actually nice.
-
Never noticed the smell. Did have interactions with rude fans. I went to a game when I was visiting a friend in Lawrence when I was maybe 8. Didn't really have a rooting interest in the game. Watched an Iowa State family get bullied by adults at the game, not even students. When they were going to their seats down the aisle, someone intentionally tried to trip them (very dangerous). Another guy kept putting his feet on a ten year old's seat. The kid was trying to ignore it but the guy was purposefully taking up his spot and eventually the kid just stood up in front of his parents. They asked for him to stop and he just pretended he wasn't doing anything. Someone else purposefully spilled a coke all over their belongings. The fans around them were just purposefully loud and obnoxious, overreacting to every play to get a rise out of the ISU group. Their daughter cried and they left at half.
My friend said he was going to convert me to a KU fan by going to that game. I left that game more K-State than ever as I couldn't believe how adults would treat others that way.

think what the ku players have to endure from their neanderthal fanbase. it's just sickening all around.

I've been to enough ku sporting events to know that the blue hairs are probably the nastiest and meanest out of the whole bunch. Their hatred of K-State runs as deep as their wrinkles.
I even had a bandwagon ku fan aunt accost me about the game yesterday in the midst of a totally unrelated conversation.

Good. The vast majority of ku fans are obsessed with him and its weird.

I met Doug Gottlieb at Allen Fieldhouse. :gocho:
-
i was in the 4th row of the student section for the new years day game where ku came back from like 30 pts down to beat jarrett jack-lead georgia tech. i was 15 at the time and attended with a family friend who was a student. newspapers reports said it was the second loudest game at AFH behind a game against kentucky in the early 90s. i cannot, of course, make an objective observation about the loudness of the game, but it was very loud. i will say that it didn't match the physical celebrations of the 2010 ksu-texas game where things got so out of control that people stopped returning to their original seats after big moments and just stood wherever they could find room.
-
Crowd pretty clueless on the rules of basketball other than them yelling "sheep humper man of taste and distinction" down at us. BTW, I have been to every Big12 arena and most of the Top 25 blueblood teams and this being my 4th time at the pissbarn, they are the most uneducated and clueless fans in the conference.
This is all pretty true. They aren't terrible but aren't anything special. Just your basic kansas and surrounding area people but without the "cool" factor most ksu people seem to know and understand.

I don't really understand their obsession with that dump. We built Ahearn. They were jealous. So they built a clone that was slightly larger.
Why do they act like that building is something special? It was built out of envy.
Ahearn East.

How many seats did Ahearn hold?
-
They crammed many as 13,000 when it first opened. Down to 10,500 at the end because of fire marshal regs.

You not only couldn't sit down in the student section at Ahearn, you had to stand sideways. There wasn't enough room to stand shoulder to shoulder.

But the student section in Ahearn was an entire side of the fieldhouse. Just like Bramlage.
They never stuck the students behind the basket or up in the corner like they do in Allen.

Not sure when girls decided going to games could be a social outing. It was definitely after we left Ahearn. Probably early in the Snyder era when the athletic dept had a big push to promote student tailgating :drink:.
-
First time there on Saturday, wore purple in the student section, actually was more than zero Katsfans there. Wasn't awful, except for the pants pissing on display from our guys.
Didn't catch any flack from anyone, except for a door guy who shouted "See you next year" as i was leaving. i told him to enjoy his studio apartment :gocho:

This was my view for the game. I had to kinda look down a bit so the beam wasn't in the way. If other people stood I couldn't see because standing would have completely blocked my view, and I didn't really have much head room anyways. :curse:
It was worth going, but don't just buy cheap tickets because they are cheap. I got them a day or so before hand because they were cheap. Don't make this mistake.
-
Should also mention that if I sat straight upright I would miss a little less than 1/4th of the court. Not a problem because as my mother always tells me I have "bad posture". Or something.
-
Looks like 1863 needs a better ticket connection before he goes to AFH again.
-
Amazing place. Its the cathedral of college basketball so I am told.
-
Heard a rumor that the KUAD had to hire a special cleaning crew to clean up after all of the K-State fans who pissed themselves during the game. Apparently the urine smell was so thick that they're debating whether or not to even let K-State fans inside of AFH anymore.
-
Oh wow, Beems is bringing it strong.
-
beems, how can you justify an innocent man's sightline being obscured by a beam?
-
About time they did something about the urine smell.
-
I have sat in the beam seats. Sucks. No excuse.
Cathedral.

Agreed. Or...they should, right?

For the sake of argument, I will accept the piss premise (even though I've never noticed said smell in AFH).
Have you seen the pictures of the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel before the restoration project? Centuries of candle smoke and incense produced a layer of grime so thick that it took 5 years working 'round the clock to remove. Were the frescoes any less of a masterpiece before they were cleaned? No. In the same manner, decades of visiting teams pissing down their legs can produce an aroma so vile that R. Kelly would be offended. Now I axe you, does that make the venue any less of a cathedral?

K-State fans would rather smell Manhattan than smell the aroma of their own urine. True story.

Have you seen the pictures of the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel before the restoration project? Centuries of candle smoke and incense produced a layer of grime so thick that it took 5 years working 'round the clock to remove. Were the frescoes any less of a masterpiece before they were cleaned? No. In the same manner, decades of visiting teams pissing down their legs can produce an aroma so vile that R. Kelly would be offended. Now I axe you, does that make the venue any less of a cathedral?
Is a Fiat Jolly that is rusted through, filled with vomit and feces still a car? Sure but I would rather not get in it.
Does the stereo still blast DC?
Very important question. Also does the Jolly still pick up chicks?
Without T- Struck its not KU basketball

Heard a rumor that the KUAD had to hire a special cleaning crew to clean up after all of the K-State fans who pissed themselves during the game. Apparently the urine smell was so thick that they're debating whether or not to even let K-State fans inside of AFH anymore.
Link? :dunno:

I have sat in the beam seats. Sucks. No excuse.
Cathedral.
All the great cathedrals of Europe smell like piss/burnt popcorn and blare AC/DC.
Agreed. Or...they should, right?
Okay, I will concede that much of Europe smells like piss. The burnt popcorn and Thunderstruck still seems out of place.

The only people who call AFH a Cathedral are analysts that sit courtside. You don't hear that from anyone sitting in the general population. Most of those seats are terrible. The poor students get crap on with their seats too. Feel bad for them really.

Oh man, I would've been so steamed 8 years ago...
But on a serious note, this game took place during the biggest blizzard in the region in 80 years. Not a big deal by itself, but there was also a chemical spill on Naismith Drive that blocked access to AFH from that direction. Not a big deal by itself, but they also had to set up a perimeter to keep people from entering the hazardous area. 3 people were shot with bean bags whilst trying to penetrate the barricade. 1 guy died of sepsis.

Head a rumor from my cousin that goes to KU over the weekend. Sometimes they leave the doors open for practice and two weeks ago when he walked in, they were doing a specific drill that they call "30 minutes of Bow's on the nose." They bring in some sensei to run the drill. All strike tactics for the team to "defend themselves" using the elbow. I guess sensei and massa self were having a good chuckle together during the drill.

4 or 5 years ago my buddy from Indiana (a big Hoosiers fan) had one of his high school buddies in town for the weekend. They decide they would like to see Allen Field House, I guess they wanted to compare it to Assembly Hall. Long story short, my buddy starts getting violently ill about 30 min before they were going to leave for the game. (I imagine subconsciously his body was trying to avoid that shithole) After some persuading, I agreed to take his buddy up to Lawrence to watch Nebraska vs KU.
A few minutes before the game is about to start everyone stands up for the KU fight song, well everyone but me. I guess the 85 year old lady sitting on the other side of my took offense to this. She said, "Don't tell me you are a Nebraska fan" I replied, "No Ma'am". "Our you rooting for KU?". Again I replied, "No Ma'am". At this point she is completely confused. "So who are you rooting for then?". "Well ma'am, I am a K-State fan so I guess I am rooting for the scoreboard". Even more puzzled she says "I don't understand". I said, "look it's simple I am rooting for the scoreboard to come down out of the rafters and get them all" Needless to say that end any further conversation.

It's interesting that bluebloods like UNC and Kentucky build new arenas, but an upper level tier 2 team like KU has to play in an arena that's 40 years past it's usefulness because they can't afford to build new.
Really puts things in perspective about who rules the college basketball landscape.

40 years old? I had a KU fan tell me the Allen Field house is one of the oldest college basketball arenas and it was built over 100 years ago. Also he told me Naismith invented basketball at KU. I think Naismith invented the rules of basketball at a YMCA somewhere in Canada or Pennsylvania.
Anyway if his story is true then Allen Field house was built while Naismith was still the coach and Phog Allen was coaching at Baker University. I guess they just knew Phog would be a such a great coach they would lure him to Lawrence by building a stadium in his name.
You can't make this stuff up. :rolleyes:

Yep you found it.
Problem is if you don't have a seat immediately obscured by the beam ("only" one or two of those) you can't see if people in front of you stand up because if you do the beam is in your way. Advantage of being on bleacher seats though is the mice have a harder time climbing and don't scurry over your feet as much.

The homie went with an "I know you are but what am I" joke. Is beems a kid like that trenton kid on twitter? If he is a kid this definitely changes things.

Patrons will be provided complimentary extra-large T-shirts upon arrival to their seats, limit one per person.
I know one gE'r who'll be partaking in this. Here's the map so you can plan your outfit accordingly.

Actually, this is solid advice from 'clams; there is new stoplight on K10 that was mess on Saturday, I bet it was put in due to the big increase in traffic after the new Tractor Supply opened.

Allen Fieldhouse is a symptom of everything that is ku. Students/alumni, who have never watched a basketball game anywhere else, will nonetheless preach that Allen Fieldhouse is the at the apex of college gameday basketball experiences. That same group will tell you that ku is basically an Ivy League level university, even though they've never attended class anywhere else, unless it was JCCC.

I've been to 3 games during their sellout streak, none of them were sold out.
