Kansas State fans are in between major sports seasons. The basketball teams ended their NCAA tournament runs and the spring football game is still a few day away.

I know the Kansas State baseball team is playing. The track and field teams are busy and the golf team is on the links. Despite that, some Wildcat fans say they are bored.

In addition, spring break is a distant memory,  so we decided to take a look at some of the best college bars. I was surprised at what I didn’t find.

I’m sure you have a favorite. The Aggieville Business Association lists 20 bars on their web site.

For Wildcats not in Manhattan or those traveling, you should review a list of watch party locations.

Kansas State has a nationwide fan-base. it is much more fun to watch with a crowd of purple fans than what you might find.

I suffered through a meal with a crowd of Michigan and Colorado fans at a sports-bar in Washington DC a few years ago.  I missed the kickoff of the game I wanted to see and nobody seemed to care.

Of course, I ate quickly and did my best to use a phone app to tune in Wyatt Thompson’s radio call of the game.

The Kansas State University Alumni Association has a short list of locations and Alumni groups in various parts of the country.
