Allen Fieldhouse is one of the country’s best sporting venues, and many fans of other teams make a point of visiting the Kansas Jayhawks’ home.
Following Kansas’ 69-56 win over Houston on Monday, CBS Sports’ Jon Rothstein wrote on X: “And on the 8th day, God created Allen Fieldhouse.”
A Nebraska student reposted that and wrote: “Checked Allen Fieldhouse off the bucket list tonight. That was a religious experience.”
One fan from Houston who made the trip to Lawrence was bummed to see the Cougars lose to the Jayhawks on “Big Monday.” But that wasn’t the worst part of his night.
“The worst thing about losing to Kansas is being stuck sitting in the Allen Fieldhouse parking garage for an hour afterwards,” wrote the person, who has the X handle, A University of Houston Fan.
Jayhawks fans shared some tips.
“Walk to @TheWagonWheel (for) a cold one and let the traffic die down,” one wrote in response.
Another shared this: “If you ever come again park on the first street to the north of the traffic, university drive.”
“I park at the Mississippi Street garage, about a 20-25 minute walk from AFH but little to no traffic is a huge+,” wrote another. “Cheaper than AFH Garage too”
This was another person’s take: “It’s the worst part of winning there too.”
Here was another tip: “Next time park by the Lied Center and take the bus.”
An X user named Blake wrote: “Never park in the garage it’s a pain to get out. I always park a couple blocks away or at the high school. Easy walk there and back and back on the highway in no time.”
The Houston fan responded: “Once I realized I wasn’t going anywhere I just parked, turned off the car and took a good ol fashioned sad nap.”
To another fan he added: “I’m also included time spend yelling into the void of my dashboard and the nap I took when I realized I wasn’t going anywhere anytime soon.”
A nap is never a bad way to pass the time, right?
