I was born a Jayhawker in the great state of Kansas. And the day I married and moved into the neighboring state of Missouri {and changed my driver's liscense and liscense plate - to less prettier one's}, I may have shed a little tear. Although, nothing would ever diminish love my Kansas Jayhawks no matter where I live! Growing up my family was always watching Kansas basketball and even going to the games every now and then. My husband and I almost never pass up the chance to go to a game, we enjoy being 2 of the 16,300 people that show up to Allen Fieldhouse
every game. That gym is filled with history and tradition, which plays a huge part of the atmosphere. Fans of other teams, especially those of less storied programs, don't really understand unless they have been there and experienced it. I would encourage fans of any team {yes, even Mizzou} to experience a Kansas basketball game at least once.
Luckily we had the chance to sit in some really amazing seats {thanks, Uncle Roy!} as we attended the last home game of this season. I took my camera and to grab some pictures of course! I'm pretty happy with how they turned out!
