When going to Intrust Bank Arena, where should a person park and eat?

TIA.

Hey I went to the CSU game a couple(?) years ago! Eat at the all-you-can-eat barbecue/art consignment store and park anywhere in between! And walk!

Are you talking about Bite Me BBQ?

No the place up on Washigton and 3rd or forth street B&C.

Go to the #longbone place in winfield and then drive back to the arena and park anywhere you want.  It will be less attended than a wingfest.

people in wichita like to act like really short distances are very far away.  See: complaining about traveling anywhere in wichita city limits as being "to far away"

Is it best/easiest to park on the street, or are their lots?

There are lots close to the arena that charge a fee and then lots further away that are free (but will fill up early). There are also a few on street parking spots but not real close to the arena.

street parking and walking is 100% fine if you have functioning legs

That's definitely not a problem, but I know that its still supposed to be pretty cold and _FANw is not a huge fan of hanging out in the cold too long.

Ideally I want to park somewhere close to where we'll eat and the arena. It looks like that area north of the arena will be the best spot for that I have no issue paying 10-15 to park.

There is a big free parking lot (Coleman Parking Lot/Rotary Plaza) at 2nd & St. Francis just north of the Arena. It's a short walk, close to Old Town, Bite me BBQ is right there.

Noy my preference either but it's the only restaurant I can think of between the lot and IBA outside of Old Town.

I would love to eat there, but I'm not traveling another hour plus to do so.

I was thinking of narrowing it down to one of these:

I was just given two great tickets to this game but can't go. Hit me up if anybody can use them.

Someone would have to update on how things stand now because the restaurant changes slightly frequently, but the spot in the Ambassador hotel just a bit left of your screenshot is usually good.  We've pak'd there often, including immediately prior to walking into the arena for wwe smackdown on my last night living there.

You'd still be able to park anywhere and walk among any of those things.

You could also see if the trolley thing will be running (q-line?) and expand your options down to Delano and go to Monarch and others.

And I think you might be overestimating the distance that map covers with respect to what would be fine to walk to, no matter how cold it is.

Larkspur isn't too shabby either.  It is just east of Biggins.
