Greetings from Kansas - again.
Got here in the late afternoon. For dinner, I had Biggs BBQ which was recommended by Jon Kirby of Jayhawk Slant for a Lawrence BBQ spot. Apparently the KU football staf takes recruits here. They have a large upstairs dining room which would be ideal for private parties. The food was okay - the BBQ chicken was pretty good, the sides were meh, nothing special. The jalapeno cornbread had no flavor whatsoever. If you're coming to Lawrence, I'd probably skip this one and head to KC for BBQ. I think I'm doing that tomorrow.
Massachusetts Street, as everybody suggested, is the main street of Lawrence. It seemed to be like a mile long with a large assortment of unique shops and restaurants. I probably should have hit up one of these places instead. "Rally House" seems to be a pretty big regional chain for sports apparel and they had a KU store on Mass Street. Probably 80% KU with a bit of Chiefs/Royals sprinkled in. I attached a photo gallery with way too many pictures, but what's cool is the NIL angle - countless basketball and football jerseys available with current player names to go along with NIL player t-shirts.
And for being an Adidas school, obviously they have some Adidas stuff but it seemed like it was more non-Adidas. A lot of Columbia, Johnnie O, Cutter and Buck, Antigua, Tommy Bahama, etc.
You can even get a jersey of the backup quarterback.
KU has a throwback logo that appears on some stuff.
They have a couple Reyn Spooner shirts in addition to Tommy Bahama.
The hat selection was unreal.
Night shot of the stadium.
