University of Kansas Football:
A small college town, we went to the football game and spent time at the stadium. Parking is a bit dicey, typical college town, we paid to park at a frat house and luckily were able to exit ok. Very narrow alleys and people tailgating so drive careful and give yourself extra time. We were able to bring in sealed 20 oz water. Given it was 95 and humid in August, that was clutch because they ran out of water and the water refill stations were hot. The restrooms under the student section/visiting fan area was also incredibly hot and the family restroom had a constant line. The bathrooms were clean but the general restroom did not have much by way of changing tables or other things. The audio was very loud and our kids wore noise cancelling headphones the entire time.

Right on the border of Missouri, Kansas City straddles into this area. There are many things to do including Sporting KC, Joe’s BBQ and the <Farm> which when we went had Touch a Truck and the line snaked back 100 people deep. We opted to play at the park next door and enjoyed the playground, touching the trucks, but would love to go back and spend time inside.
