I need your help, Fanatics. Due to terrible luck, every one of my Cyclone friends here in Kansas City will be out of town tomorrow, so I have nobody here to watch the game with. Because of that, I was planning on going to a friend's Cyclone tailgate in Iowa City (he has a house in U Heights) but he had to cancel it. Now I risk having nowhere to go and nobody to watch the game with.

Are there any tailgate parties going on in Iowa City that I could join? I'd be happy to bring food/drinks to share, and as an Iowa City native, can contribute my knowledge of the city to anybody that might need it. I really, really want to be in Iowa City- the chance to see the reaction after an ISU upset is too much to pass up. I'm even open to a mixed group; I'm capable of being respectful...

If I can't find anything in IC, is there anything going on in Kansas City? A party or even just gathering at a bar; whatever. Same applies as above. Basically, I just don't want to watch this game by myself in some random bar in either city.

I'll be at the New Strand in West Liberty watching the game with my 2 year old daughter. We have some whole milk to drink, and probably bring some fruit snacks. I might have to leave at half if it seems she will need a nap.

You are welcome to join me.

HAHA, I would hardly call it scary at 2:30pm... Now 2:30am that might be a different story. Although if your with a group your definitely fine.
I will be at either Kellys or Brooksider
 
KC folks, I really appreciate the responses! I actually decided to take a gamble and try Iowa City. I had some other things I needed to come home for, so I made the trip. I'm working on finding a tailgate (or a ticket) this morning. If I can't find one, I'm debating whether to get all decked out in cardinal, grab my flag and some beverages, and go wander around the stadium until I find a random group to join, but my last experience at Kinnick wasn't good.

(I live in Hyde Park, just a couple of minutes from Westport. When you say "Kelly's", do you mean Mike Kelly's Westsider? I'm still new to the area. I go to the Westsider fairly often; love that place.)

So Iowa City folks... I still need a destination! (CycloneYoda, I would feel awkward arguing with your daughter over the fruit snacks, but she's welcome to all the whole milk.)

Yeah, it's not THAT bad. I would be a little concerned if I were by myself at last call in Westport, but middle of the day or early evening, it's not bad. Kelly's has a sweet new patio upstairs.

Of course, we went down there a couple of years ago for ISU/iowa when they played in IC and there was a small group of hok fans in there running it....from Council Bluffs! So, why in the world would you drive down to KC to a Cyclone bar to watch that game?? IC was basically the same distance away. Typical.
