I met my best friend for life at UConn, he was from Fairfiled County. And so was his sister. Just lost him a year ago, sucks.
Went to them in Houston and Phoenix. They are fun. If you don't mind shelling out $75, I would do it. Band and cheerleaders are usually there. Benedict gives a speech. Geno gave a speech in 2023 but he's probably a little too busy for it this year.
It's worth doing. Just know you're mostly paying for the great vibe, not the apps.
It was awesome and definitely worth it in Houston and Phoenix. Each location is different and depends on who they get to cater it. But I still drool over the spread at Salt Tacos y Tequila in Phoeniz/Glendale.
Jimmy gave a speech in Boston, it was awesome!
Where are you driving from? Is that noon on Friday or Saturday? I'm leaving around 7 am Saturday from Atlanta to get there. Have a decent hotel near the airport. Still don't have tickets but monitoring the prices as they slowly drop as we get closer to game time.
I really enjoyed this in Phoenix. It's an experience - a huge UConn basketball party! I'm going to this one as well - can't wait!
If you are in Fairfield County, bite the bullet and go to LGA or even JFK. HPN is crazy for last minute and BDL not much better. In Hartford? Check BOS. I fly to ORD all the time.......
Check 8 eight losers team sites
I'm leaving from Hartford. I've done this trip a couple of times before the Brickyard race. We're leaving tomorrow and stopping for the night on the way out.
Been booked for 6+ months ... but with Final 4s (and any huge event for that matter) there are always last-minute cancellations -- keep your hotel browser searches open, refresh often, and be ready to pounce, ha
That's awesome. I booked something 15 minutes away. Would have loved to be downtown, but was afraid of getting pushed even farther out.
Plenty of Uconn fans here in "The Valley"
1% ouch. Well when we knock off the Illini, that should really loosen up the market for Finals tix.
I think part of this is because Illinois has the least nationwide following of the remaining 4 teams so of course most of their ticket purchases are from in-state folks. UConn and Arizona have more nationwide fans in my opinion and Michigan has a much more national alumni base than the others. I use myself as an example, buying tickets to cheer for UConn with an address in Wisconsin means Connecticut doesn't get credit for that in this analysis.
Thanks for that hint!!
