Looks like I'll be able to avenge my Nashville absence by making this one.  Who else is in?

I think it might be fair for some of us who didn't/couldn't get to Nashville to "tag in" and head to St. Louis. I'm trying to go...

Game time may be a factor.  When will we know?

In +4.  Major regrets for missing Nashville.  I just don't miss events like this, and I'm mad at myself for not making it work.

Last Year's games were at 7 & 9:30 roughly.  Assume that will be maintainted.  Won't be announced until after NC State's opponent is known.

Just booked the fairer half's ticket and will be rerouting my trip from Austin.  Interestingly enough, an early 80's OU grad will be on the technical side of the CBS production that night.  St. Louis should be tons of fun.  The new bar/lounge at the top of the ballpark Hilton is fabulous.

Guess is they will want to separate the UNC game and the KY game - but if Kansas comes back, they are also a good draw.

Of course if they don't if we can surprise a beat up UNC team, then we have the winner of Georgetown and Purdue for a trip to the Final Four - just saying.

never mind all the way around.

Looks like we might be first game.  Can assure you State and Kansas fans will be pulling for us - out of hatred for UNC.

Was at the Fri game but skipped Sunday figuring I'd go to a sweet 16 game.  Question is:  Tickets available?

I apologize for being an idiot and missing Nashville.  Pretty sure that you can meet me in St. Louis.

The wife and I will be there for the Sweet 16.  Friday just didn't work out and then we both had some issues at work that made us miss the drive for Sunday.  Everyone that we work with was on notice that if we won this game there was no chance we would miss either game in the state we are living in currently.  Now it is just a matter of do we check into a hotel and find someone to take care of our dogs for the full weekend or do we just drive back and forth for the tournament since we are 2 1/2 hours away for the Sweet 16/Elite 8.

For those wondering about hotels...
I just booked a Crowne Plaza Downtown (3.5*) on Priceline for $115. (might be able to squeeze a few more out of them.)

Tickets... I ordered 3 tonight through ticketmaster.com as soon as the game went final. Got the club level in 319. full strip $170 each.

I don't care how you get there, get there if you can!

Not sure they sell less than full strip - both games.  Do they sell single sessions only?
