Message: [QUOTE="FfldCntyFan, post: 4225520, member: 71"] Went to the city about a month ago with my (now 26 year old) son and stopped at McSorleys. More than a dozen years ago I told him that when he was old enough we would need to do this as a [B][I]rite of passage[/I][/B]. He remembered and when he planned the trip last fall he said that would be one of the things we had to do. As far as the tourney, this will be my first trip in a little more than a decade (can't believe it has been that long). As a college senior I was able to get tickets to the Civic Center (1982; last time it wasn’t in MSG) for the entire tournament. Due to being in a very new job, compounded by busy season, I thought it best to work through the 2011 & 2012 tournaments. In between it would be easier to list the tournaments I missed. For any of various reasons I did not attend in 1990, 1995, 1999 (long story, had to give up final four tickets as well that year), 2000, 2002, 2006 & 2008. Had full tournament tickets for 1982 (already mentioned), 1986, 1987, 1989, 1998, 2001, 2003, 2005, 2007, 2009 & 2010. Had finals tickets for 1984, 1985, 1988, 1991, 1993, 1994, 1996, 1997, 2004. Had semifinals and finals tickets in 1992, semifinals tickets in 1983. There is nothing that compares to this event, it is the best of what collegiate sports is all about. [/QUOTE]
