Hi from XL

[Fishy]

Should be at Mohegan Sun. Maybe you would get people to travel to a casino. Also, people would be getting compt tickets so it would help fill seats

I agree.

They tried to bid on it a few years back, but obviously it didn't happen.

I traded two for tonight for a $10 drink from the bar so I did pretty well on that transaction.

Save me one for tomorrow.

Ill buy you some Arbys

Don't forget my old line. The snow kept the crowd down. Our base loves New England weather.

They really should have this tournament (or even the first two days) at Mohegan or Bridgeport just to mix it up for the regular season fans. Gave a lower corner seat to a friend tonight in exchange for one beer. I will profit off that exchange.

What are some things to do in Hartford for the tournament?

Hanging hills

The palestra would actually be really cool but 9k seats doesn't fit the AMERICAN WE ARE POWER narrative. When a couple thousand show up in the home arena of the only school who actually has fans it's not good

Lots of beautiful and historic architecture there.

But is there a lazy river?

So far looks like the crowd will be about the same as last night but there's a bunch of Cincy fans here now so it may somehow actually be worse

Saw someone on another board have the idea of the highest seed hosting. Not bad in theory, but it can't exactly be a last minute decision. Sites are always predetermined before the following season.

Maybe the highest seed from the previous year.

Are their expectations for decorum from the bands? Houston's is absolutely obnoxious borederline vulgar

There would be, if you had a school with some standards. Cougar high? Not so much...

I'm all for having a set location for the semis and finals, but why not have higher seeds host until then? You can add in a travel day between the quarters and semis for everyone to get to the neutral site.

I paid $60 for all four days. The ticketed seat is in the last row of the arena. I have sat courtside for all nine games.
