It's spelled 'phog'

Was "fieldhouse" spelled correctly?

 

[Headinjun]

Went to this game 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.

How were my people?

[Peter Nincompoop]

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.

If you like ACDC Thunderstruck, you are an Allen Fieldhouse kind of person.  If not, you won't enjoy it

Funny, I was just going to suggest the opposite. 

[sonofdaxjones]

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.

TitleTown is still killing them, even in 2014

What was Jacob Pullen's number?  Whatever that is, that's the number of fucks I give about Jack Harry.  I do not participate in the KC-centrism that is so prevalent among our fanbase(s).

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

I met Doug Gottlieb at Allen Fieldhouse.

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.
