Good Afternoon,
Thought I would venture over here and see what you Kansans were gossiping about. I come in peace and have always been an admirer of KSU and the football program. Read a little of this board last year before the game, and enjoyed the banter.
With all that being said I am a resident in the town of Starkville, and have come to answer any questions you Wildcats may have.
Couple of things:
Starkville gets a bad rap from the media. Is it the biggest party scene in the league? No Can you have a good time there? Without a doubt.
Suggestions: Tailgating before the game is big. The crowds won't be as large for an 11AM non conference September game as they might be for an SEC game, but there will still be a lot of people there. The main tailgating locations is "The Junction" which is located outside the south endzone of the stadium. You can't miss it on game day. MSU are generally friendly, and will welcome opposing fans. It's a September game so just prepare for heat, as well.
Also, for a few pre game drinks/eats I would suggest going down to the Cotton District. Lots of cool small bars and restaurants. The area is also an easy walk to the stadium.
I'll answer other questions if you have them too. Looking forward to a great game a month from today. Hail State
