Family of 5, ranging from late 20s into our 60s will be in town for the Auburn game. I don't know anything about Manhattan, so what should we visitors expect on a Thursday night? Where to park? Where to eat? Where to tailgate? What else should we know?

Looking forward to the game, War Eagle.

Welcome to big-time college football, buddy.

sak! WAR DAMN EAGLE!

This place is the nest! I've found KSU fans, on this board at least, to be very reasonable and honed in on the opinions/facts that power college football. It's like a little Toomer's Drugs* in the Midwest, in the internet, in your dome.

They really love their wizardly college football coach, whom they like to refer to in a variety of acronyms and celebrate the fact that they haven't lost a football game since 1893.

*And by Toomer's Drugs, I really mean The Supper Club or, if you're old enough to remember, Harry's on Opelika Road.

If you can only go one place, make it in the back.

Remember when Oklahoma kicked your ass in the Sugar bowl last year?

It's going to be like that

You'll also want to take the time to see all the beautiful Oak trees we have on campus and around town

Get donuts at varsity donuts and then go get a Nancy at so long in the morning.

Make sure you head to the student union and get 10 frames in at some point.

Asteriskhead · « **Reply #36 on:** September 03, 2014, 01:33:08 PM »

you'll stay the eff away from my donuts, if you know what's good for you.

Friday morning, you are going to want to head out to Tuttle Creek Lake for a little boating. Make sure you bring enough booze.

The Big Train · « **Reply #38 on:** September 03, 2014, 01:40:20 PM »

make sure and hit up zar bar

i started to break manhattan down for this guy and then realized that i only had three uninterrupted hours before i had to leave work and that it wouldn't be enough time. wow what i town we all live in.

You guys are going to want to get to the tailgate early. That way you can wander around and try to find the Gronkowski family tailgate.

If you enjoy laughing at little people and death by heatstroke, I would definitely recommend the Tailgate Terrace^tm at the stadium

Rage Against the McKee · « **Reply #42 on:** September 03, 2014, 01:45:37 PM »

Bring your golf clubs and get 18 holes in at Colbert Hills on Saturday. It's a world class golf course.

puniraptor · « **Reply #43 on:** September 03, 2014, 01:46:45 PM »

also bring your futbol and get in 18 holes of futgolf at wildcat creek.

finest futgolf in the midwest, IMO

The Big Train · « **Reply #44 on:** September 03, 2014, 01:48:21 PM »

you could also check out MHK's premier indoor hot tub at ale house

puniraptor · « **Reply #45 on:** September 03, 2014, 01:48:28 PM »

also you may have heard that MHK is the best place to retire in the world, so it would be smart to drop those 60 somethings off at Meadowlark Hills on your way out of town.

Rage Against the McKee · « **Reply #46 on:** September 03, 2014, 01:48:40 PM »

Be sure to stop by Call Hall on campus and get some ice cream. It's damned good stuff.

if you see an older man with a foam finger come up to your tailgate and take your food, get really mad at him

He will try to make demands about what food you give him and how it is cooked, but tell him beggars can't be choosers.

offer him a dry bagel if he gets too annoying
