In and out of this venue over three days for a volleyball tournament. Parking was a bit expensive ($25/day) for weekend and Holiday, but not too far from this venue. Food options were expensive but decent variety. Staff was always around (inside) if needed. Walking to car at night was interesting and I recommend staying in groups. Some security/police presence outside/parking areas would be nice. I would happily visit this venue again.

Bartle Hall is the largest convention Center in Kansas. It typically hosts large conventions, trade shows (cars, boats, outdoor gear, etc.). There is adequate parking nearby and several amenities for food and drink within walking distance. There are several hotels close by as well. The venue itself has the normal snack food/bar concessions which vary by type of event.
