I don’t question Kelly’s. Sounds like that has the THE Cyclone bar for a LONG time. My question was more why Wednesday? I expect it top be packed all week or for at least as long as ISU is playing.
unless you are staying in Westport it is too far away from the P&L and T mobile, where the action is the remainder of the week.

Wednesday is the night before the Cyclones play. Thursday and on everyone will be at Power and Light, or across the street at the game.

This will be my 1st Big 12 tournament as well!
I've lived in Colorado for 18 years since graduating, but I planned a work trip near Kansas City for that week so I could finally see this team in person.
I only got tickets for Thursday night and am thinking I might just Uber from hotel if the ISU party scene is all right around the T-Mobile Center.

Never know.
You'll never know if you don't ask.

That is a good choice.

Most, but not everyone. There were plenty of ISU fans there on Friday night a couple years ago, even with us getting blown out the day before. Not denying Wednesday is the biggest night, but it's not like it's dead the rest of the time.

Wife and I will also be first time Big 12 tourney attendees; opted for a less expensive hotel with a 20 minute drive. Looks like there are many options for parking; any suggestion would be appreciated.

For parking, check out the garages under and just north of Power & Light. As I recall, it was something like $20 per day, not $50 per day like some of the fancy hotels. And it is literally "right there."

Wednesday night at Kelly's has been kind of the kickoff party for the week. The KC alumni assoc. helps host the event. Tony Bohnenkamp will be playing this year for FAC style entertainment.

Will Tony be bringing any of the other members of Lunchbox with him?

A lot of fans get there a day early. Consider it the unofficial pretournament opening ceremonies. It's definitely a highlight of the weekend as vibes are high and you usually run into a lot of people you know
