K-STATE GAME DAYIDE

Before or after the game, Aggieville is where Wildcats gather. Eat, drink, play and shop at the more than 100 shops, restaurants and hangouts. Home to the annual Homecoming Parade, throngs of visitors come to Aggieville to celebrate their Alma Mater. Fight, you K-State Wildcats!

One of the most popular phrases among Wildcats fans is “EMAW,” or “Every Man a Wildcat.” A battle cry for decades of K-State athletics, fans unite behind the slogan which declares they are part of the Wildcat Nation. You’ll love rocking to and fro to the Wabash Cannonball, played loud and often by the K-State Marching Band. ESPN named it the “best pre-game tradition in the Big 12 Conference.”

Wildcat Fans. ARE. YOU. READY?! The kick off calling of the Kansas State University Wildcats. Get your gameday vibe going dressed head-totoe in purple, the Wildcats’ favorite color, with a trip to Rally House in Aggieville, the K-State Superstore on McCall Road or K-State’s Student Union Bookstore.

The Sudler-Award-winning K-State Marching Band, known as the “Pride of Wildcat Land,” will get your heart racing and feet stomping as they pub crawl throughout Aggieville and other parts of town the night before games, playing Wildcat fan favorites.

Do you live to tailgate? You’ll love the ribs, brisket and pulled pork at Cox Bros BBQ. Plan to celebrate post-game victories at pubs located in Aggieville, Westloop or Downtown Manhattan.
