So, are you going to San Antonio?!?!

As an aside, I can't believe student tickets are $40!! That's awfully generous of LU.

I wonder if I they have an online class I can still register for.

Wonder how many tickets each school is allotted? San Antonio is a great place for a BB Tournament or a Bowl Game for that matter. The Riverwalk and it's restaurants and bars make the whole experience better. Also it's a drivable destination, so I hope you get to go LoyolaCat.

I am not,,,,my brother who was at LU in 63 went to Atlanta....but I have had so much fun hanging out on Campus and celebrating with students, ALumns and the neighborhood...plus I do not want to break the chain....I have worn the same underwear, tshirt ,jeans, hoodie and hat to all four games.....and the tshirt is a Northwestern t-shirt for good luck. It made me think how much people who do not go to live events or watch and share with others these experiences, MISS.
After the win over Nevada up and down Sheridan Rd..it was crazy,,,CTA busses honking their horns,,,,Police cars honking their horns and people chanting L U back and forth across Sheridan Rd. My brother was on Campus in 63 , living in the only dorm on Campus and they closed Sheridan Rd. celebrating and he got bit by a Chicago Police Dog! Last year for the NU game I went to a local bar and the same thing had happened ,,,,everyone had become an NU fan,,,It was great. .....Most be boring for Duke fans

I believe its a set price for all the final 4 schools. My daughter went to Indianapolis when Duke won. The seats aren't very good. They are behind the baskets with no rise in seats. They escort out the students after the first game, and bring in the new students. She had a blast at the final 4, and actually got to celebrate with the players at a party afterwards in the hotel (she knew a few of the players).

Interesting, especially how they move one set of students out to make room for others. Don't think I ever experienced such a thing at any type of tournament.

One word of advice from experience, L-Cat.

A group of us went to the '92 Final Four to watch Indiana. Two of my roommates decided to stay behind because they wanted to celebrate at the fountain - an Indiana thing.

To this day, those two deeply regret not going. There is never a better party than all "your guys" at the Final Four. You'll never high five or holler at so many strangers in one three day period.

And that was in Minneapolis. San Antonio will be much better.

If it's possible, you HAVE to go.

Agree. A big yes that San Antonio sure beats Sheridan Road. As an aside, I would still be kicking myself if I hadn't gone to see the Cats in the Rose Bowl.

I traveled with Georgetown n '82, '84, and '85. The elation of '84 did not erase the despair of'82(Fred Brown) or '85(Villanova 80%)
