OK Kansas people.. booking the hotel in Kansas City (wife wants to stay there for the weekend)... what area should we stay in?

Country Club Plaza most likely, for an upscale shopping/dining vibe. Possibly Crown Center. Not downtown. The Plaza is beautiful, more so if they have Christmas decorations up by then. Depends on what kind of thing you like to do, your age etc.

Interesting choice. I probably won't be there since I'm with KU people. I'll suggest The Wheel as a pre-game spot after stopping by and getting your swag.

Side Note: The Bird Dog bar seems like a perfect name for a pre-game before Huskies and Hawks.

Well my friend came through in a huge way. Section R, Row 9. Right off the court in the lower section. Best seats either of us have ever had at AFH. This is going to be amazing.

The Wheel is really old school, but fun. Kind of like the Teds of KU, but with a large outdoor area. Travis Kelce showed up there last year before a game (now he is obviously otherwise occupied). Assume we'll go there too, but we haven't gotten to those details.

I'll be cheering the Huskies on and hoping they win without actively rooting against the Jayhawks if that makes sense. I'll probably had some kind of UConn and KU gear on. Mostly it's just a great experience.

If UConn fans show up in numbers as I expect and spend money in Lawrence we might end up with a home and home.

Anyone know which hotel the team will be staying at?

I don’t think they will tell us. Wouldn’t surprise me if it’s in Overland Park or some other place outside Lawrence.

Interesting, felt like it was so obvious, even promoted for the final 4. But I guess that was different circumstances…

Because the NCAA picks the hotel. If I recall we were not happy and asked to be moved.

When UConn got to Vegas for the Sweet 16 their rooms were covered in vomit and feces.

That’s the one I remember then.
