My first trip to game in Lawrence impressions

[KITNfury]

 It is impossible to over  hype " the setting"  and their tailgating more than Jayhawk  fans do.  Impossible.

If you like college town slum districts, it's the bomb

To a ku fan, sorry ass house parties = tailgating

To a ku fan, sorry ass house parties = tailgating

They pack a dozen cars in a yard then stand around them

I never cease to be impressed.

Just really hard to do justice to the big time college fb atmosphere that one finds in Lawrence, KS.

 Also,  their pretzels are way overdone.

 But back to the view. I sat on the press box side and could mainly see a parking garage and a dorm our some other bland building.  The tailgating was a complete joke.  There's no defending that if you're a hawk.

that's the oread, it's their nicest hotel in town (owned by a k-stater).

The house parties have the potential to be fun, but typically you're there with one of your squawk high school friends and all of their new rank ku friends and its just super awkward. Either way, not tailgating.

This is exactly what we did, and my God was it lame.

They know damn well it is awful but it is theirs so they pretend it's awesome.

I went to one with my ex after the georgia tech game many moons ago and we caught a homeless guy drinking out of our keg on the back porch/alley.

It almost felt like a third world country there in the "ghetto". Slumlords swoop in and expect their tenants to run a tailgate and let people park all over the place. Happened to my cousin when she lived their. What a mess.

stadium is garbage.  no question.  but, let's all stop pretending we don't wish BSFS was located on our campus.  yes, tailgating is fun.  But, all things being equal, I'd prefer to tailgate in City Park, and/or party in Aggieville and walk to games at Old Stadium.  IMHO.

your opinion, is your opinion, but it's wrong.

I wish our stadium was where old stadium is, but it wouldn't be the same as KU"s. The lot to the west would engulf that whole block and be similar to BSFS.

tailgating is an elite perk of attending ksu.

[sonofdaxjones]

But guys you can walk to the Wheel!!

It's the programs and people.  If everything was the same, but the stadium setting situations were reversed, K-State's would be fun and ku's would suck.  At K-State, we'd have all these great PAKs in gE'rs' houses, and at ku there'd be a lot of asphalt. 

As OBz would say, lucidly or otherwise, it's the people.

There's a 2-part video series to go with this. I couldn't find it easily on my phone but I thought this was worth sharing.

Fact. Haverhill hosted a great pregame Pak in his apartment.

That's great, Scottwildcat, but we have different tastes.  I don't think haverhill or calling black soccer players "monkeys" is much fun.  To each his own.

Went there yesterday. Place doesn't even accept credit cards. I mean, wtf?

The stadium is on campus, and lots of people walk from Aggieville to the stadium. Those that don't walk take a 5 minute free bus ride
