Lawrence Police Department says KU fans were crowd surfing ... in a shopping cart
Kansas fans partied responsibly on Monday night.
Following the Jayhawks’ 72-69 win over North Carolina in the men’s NCAA Tournament national championship game, fans came out en mass to celebrate on Mass.
The Lawrence Police Department estimated 70,000 people were on Massachusetts Street after the game. There were “minimal incidents,” the police tweeted, with initial reports of three arrests. One person was “issued a notice to appear without a physical arrest. None included serious injuries,” the LPD said.
A KU fan showed up in a Spider-man costume but there was no need to fight crime on Monday. Everyone was just in too good of a mood.
Spidey wasn’t close to the strangest thing to happen during the celebration in Lawrence. That goes to the fan who was crowd surfing ... in a shopping cart.
For the record, the LPD discourages this sort of thing but it made for an unusual sight on Mass Street.
Did that shopping cart make it back to the store? Probably not, but that KU fan got some pretty cool selfies.
