I will take that over the large group of parents and kids that sat in our row for the Chicago State game. Our seats where on the aisle and these people were in and out the entire freakin game. It was awful.
Worst Experience at Hilton Ever

For me the whole theatre experience just sucks. Everything from the outrageous concessions to the endless previews. The technology we have at home makes me want to never see a movie in a theatre again.
That's why we love Fleur. Only 5 screens so no massive crowds. Concessions are just as pricey but you can get a beer, wine, etc. And there's usually only 2 or 3 previews at most, no stupid commercials or cross-marketing promos.
I got thrown up on by a little UNI fan a few years ago at the Hy-Vee classic in Des Moines. I should have seen it coming, his parents fed him a diet of nachos, Pepsi, hot dogs, and cotton candy for about 4 straight hours before it happened.
Yeah no kidding. That game and that halftime "performance" ranks close to the top of my worst Hilton experiences ever.
Hawk fans make the worst parents.
500 grams of sugar for a 40lb child shouldn't cause any digestive issues right?
Really? It's sports. As long as the guy isn't using profanity, I don't see much of an issue. It's annoying, sure, but if someone asked me to quiet down, good chance I'm cranking it up unless they have children.
He did drop a couple f bombs, but he was the only one around with kids ironically.
I will say this style of play is not great for Hilton Magic. Seems like everyone is on pins and needles and expecting the next shot to miss. The exact opposite of Hoiball.
Also not a big fan of the "kill, kill" chant. Sounds really weird.

The only people on our block that decide 50 mph is a good idea on a residential street are two guys with toddlers in their homes. One of them plowed down a neighbor’s cat but it really hasn’t slowed him down.
We had basically the same type guy at the Iowa state vs Iowa football game this year. He was pissing everyone off. I finally leaned down to his wife and said “you better shut your husband up or he won’t make it out of here unless he is in an ambulance “ “he is pissing everyone off and drunk fans are going to kick his ass”. She leaned over and said something to him. He finally calmed down and cheered like a normal fan, which is ok.
Ask him to give it another chance,for sure. I hate it when certain individuals can’t handle themselves or their family.
I don't hate the kill chant, it actually plays nicely from the "coliseum" aspect of things
The Cyclone Alley chants have been super childish, even more than usual because of the total lack of creativity. F Bohannon, F KU, you suck, BS, and now we get “kill, kill, kill.” I know that’s coming from TJ but it’s idiotic. What a super environment to take a kid to. Yes, I am getting old as I actually found myself in agreement with the blue hairs in our section who have never complained about the swearing, but felt like calling something a kill was too far and a bad message to send to kids. They’re 100% right. I’m not even opposed to the occasional obscenity if we were more creative about it, but it just sounds like a childish mob of 7th graders whining right now. Also, none of those chants are actually going to get under the skin of your opponent. They’re just going to laugh at the lack of thought put in and tune you out. Scream all game and come up with something that will really bother that specific player. WV’s game sheets show actual creativity and it would be awesome for Cyclone Alley to copy that. Left right left right sit down is right up there with “let me hear your [mascot name] cheer, what’s that you say?”
Before the soapbox gives out from underneath me, calling Coleman-Lands a traitor was worthless. The guy was barely here and who would blame anyone for leaving? He held on longer than some of the others and at least considered staying. How is there any hate there? It was trying way too hard to call him that. We’re not talking an Adam Haluska situation here or even a Hinrich/Collison where top preps who left the state came back as Jayhawk stars. Hilton can be an incredible environment and both the Iowa and Baylor games were fantastic examples of that just this year, but last night was both disappointing and dumb on many levels.
Eh, i think the style would be fine if our offense didn't suck ass, and a lot of that is less style and more execution
If either end of the floor is godawful, it sucks the energy out of the building because what happens on the other, more successful end begins to feel pointless. Even when the situation is reversed, a big bucket is hard for the crowd to get excited for when the crowd feels like we're going to go give up those points immediately.
If we end up being a defense-first team going forward, hilton will be fine as long as our offense can get simply get to mediocrity.
Yep, I do. Kill is a super strong word and getting kids excited about killing an opponent is really dumb when you don’t have to. I’m fine to be the “no fun guy” on this one. The concept of getting 3 stops is great and I’m glad we’re trying to teach the crowd to emphasize defense but I saw how uncomfortable a lot of the folks in our section were and I respected it. They’re loyal Cyclones and many have had the same seats for 30-40 years so I take their reactions seriously.
