I personally will be taking this one from the friendly confines of my home. Can't risk being in public. Not sure what I am liable to do if it get ugly.

You should head to downtown KC. P&L District is a lot of fun, if you've never been. I watched the '08 Minnesota game there and most people were friendly and cheering with me even though they had no rooting interest. I don't know of any alumni bars there but it's a pretty cool area.

I just was at Power and Light last night for the Royals, and it's a great place to see some games. The people are friendly and there's a lot of different places to go.

You still live in Wichita? I moved back to Ann Arbor in 2010. Are you in aerospace too by chance?
October 23rd, 2014 at 6:26 PM ^
Yeah I moved here a few years ago. No, I work in college athletics.

I'll be getting updates from the friendly confines of my phone as my family tours Washington DC on Saturday for my school's family weekend. My dad decided that maybe only getting stats/scores won't be as potentially painful as watching for us.

use to be owned by a Michigan alum nearly 10 years ago. I've gone there a few times years ago but not in the last 8 years. I'm sure they will have one television on with the Michigan game. I will be in KC Saturday for a management meeting 10 AM - 5 PM, upset that I will not get to see the game!

I plan to be at the Fox and Hound in Overland Park for the game as it is the official watch party venue in the KC area. I would expect there will be 20 or 30 of us there. Could be more because it's Sparty. They give us one of the larger party rooms with sound. Hope to see you there.
GO BLUE!

Depending on the schedule for local teams Coach's on 135th is a great place to watch games. Good food too. If any local games are on you will prob have to do without sound though.

My in-laws stay in OP. Great city. I regret not moving out there when I had the chance.

Last time I was in Overland Park my client took me to Jack Stack's for BBQ. The burnt ends and ribs were awesome. I'm sure MmmGoBluBBQ would approve. It would make for a great pre-game or post-game (victory) meal.

Call in your order. If you don't it's an hour wait in line at least. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu there.

Jack Stack's!!! I always stop when I'm driving thru.

I was there several years ago to attend my cousin's wedding. Of course it was the Tate Forcier Michigan State game. It was a great venue to watch the game. All the sparties are on one side of the wall Michigan is on the other side of the wall all the fans hate each other; it's a blast. Have fun...the KC Michigan group are a fun and welcoming bunch. Go Blue!

I should try to meet up with fellow wolverines at F&H. We have quite a few mgobloggers who live within an hour drive of the KC metro!
