              Florida State in the NIT was absolutely the loudest it has ever been in Koch. That may have something to do with the additional 300 or so people above the 10,502 max capacity still remember Don Hall "Your attendance tonight....I hope the fire marshall isn't listenting...10,8xx". When Jamar hit the 3 that sent it to double OT that place shook a little. Heck of a ball game, HELL of a crowd. And I expect Saturday to be extremely competitive with that one.

              Its going to be fun, lets enjoy it.

                      There's a Shakey's Pizza on NW 189th Street South that takes buses.

                        A hint of hatred or anger is always good to raise the decibels. I remember during the Sweet 16 year, there was a snoozefest midweek game against Evansville when there wasn't a whole lot of energy in the building...until Matty B ran directly into a screen by one of the Evansville big men. The crowd exploded, wanting some sort of a foul. Mark wanted a stop in play to check on his injured player, so he meandered his way on the court a bit too far. When he got a technical for that, the crowd lit up even more with anger which lasted for the rest of the game. Later, Matt was able to come back into the game, and upon his jaunt to the scorer's table, the building shook. Later, I think he took a charge under Evansville's basket. I remember thinking that had that play been called a block instead of a charge, I really thought there would have been a riot in the building.

                          After the game, I should have prefaced that.

                            Are you looking for a buffet style restaurant, or something a bit nicer? I know that Golden Corral or one of the bigger Chinese buffet restaurants could probably handle that size of crowd, especially since it would be in the mid to late afternoon lull.

                              95 people? I'd recommend multiple restaurants, all on the east side. Wichita residents, correct me if I'm wrong here . . .

                              21st and Rock - Bradley Fair shopping center. Cluster of Red Rock Canyon Grill, Outback, On the Border and Macaroni Grill. This is a little closer to the arena.

                              A couple of miles to the southeast is 13th and Webb - Waterfront - PF Chang, Fox & Hound, Abuelos, Red Robin, Bonefish plus several others.

                                Macaroni Grill has been long gone for several years. Laham pulled their lease because Barnes & Noble was interested in the land underneath. Macaroni Grill never developed another location for Wichita after that, which was weird because they always had solid traffic.

                                Anyways, I would agree with Royal's recommendation to park the busses at either Bradley Fair (21st & Rock - 3 miles east of Koch), Waterfront (13th and Webb - 1 mile south and 4 miles east of Koch) or possibly Plazzio (13th & Greenwich - 1 mile south and 5 miles east of Koch). Either of those shopping centers offer a decent number of restaurant selections (Bradley Fair winning via volume by large margin).

                                Short of a rented space with a catered meal (a la a wedding, conference, etc.) I can't think of any restaurant in town where 100 people can sit grouped together at the same time on a Saturday. That's not common to any size of town.
