For those that have attended a final four game played in a football stadium before, how close do you need to be sitting to truly have a somewhat decent view?

Wondering if I just buy the cheapest ticket in the 600’s or spend a little more to be in the 300’s, but not sure what that view would be like.

I’m lucky in the sense that I was already headed to Austin from Saturday-Thursday for months now. However, I’m a fool for booking the 8:45PM flight. Hoping JetBlue will be able to move us to an earlier flight, but not holding my breath. With that said UConn is 1-0 all time when I watch on a plane. That game? The Jalen Adams 80-footer. Let’s go Huskies!!!
I've gone to three with non team tickets. In Indianapolis, we may as well have been sitting in a different city(this was in the old dome). The seats in Minneapolis and New Orleans were upper deck but not awful.

was at the 2011 game in Houston and had lower level corner seats through the school. They were the equivalent to the worst possible upper corner seat at XL. Football stadiums are just huge.

Don't worry about good seats in the football stadium. They don't exist. I was in this stadium for Kemba's final four and I sat three rows behind Mike Bray and the nose picker. And they weren't all that great.

Yep I was up in the nosebleeds for 99 at Tropicana but it didn’t matter. Just being in the building is all you need.

Looking at hotels and seems the best options are either downtown or at the galleria. Anyone know which is more ideal for final four weekend?
I booked at Galleria area. Downtown looks sold out or high priced. Never been to Houston before so I have no idea what I’m doing.

For anyone who can buy tickets now, what is the price of the package?

$ 200 lower level

And I'm thinking that's for the semifinals only. Not certain

almost certain those are just for one day, not both.

I just booked tickets for $550/person in the nosebleeds for all sessions.

Driving down from South Bend, Indiana. Bringing 7 of us, but only 2 going to game.

If you stay downtown and take the Metro (Red line) to the game, exiting the game and heading back DT will be crazy crowded. Last time it took multiple trains.
Figured out, if you took the South train one stop, end of the line, you would now be preboarded on the North bound train.
fyi

Prices are currently falling. Keep an eye on Ticketmaster and Stubhub, but there's no rush to buy. Get-in price right now for an all-session ticket, with fees, is ~$375.

I don't know what face value is, but it's not much less than that.

Is there an app that tracks ticket price trends across the multi resellers?

That's about the cost of plane tix from BDL now too. First time I've really been in a position to afford making the trip, but is no one else thinking flight prices are absurd? I'm still down to pay, but every single friend has dropped out because it's $1500ish round trip
Look at nyc airports. Leaving Thursday is much cheaper than Fri. But then u need an extra night

I paid $800 for four through Miami; assuming it's for both sessions, that's how they've typically sold them in the past.
