Message: [QUOTE="storrsroars, post: 4253124, member: 2500"] We hosted a pod in Pittsburgh and I learned this morning it was the highest ticket price of all pods except Greenville (K's retirement tour had something to do with that). Wasn't a sellout any day tbomk, [URL='https://www.post-gazette.com/sports/marchmadness/2022/03/18/march-madness-ncaa-tournament-pittsburgh-fans-ppg-paints-arena-mark-emmert-duquesne/stories/202203180032']but pretty full[/URL]. As expected OSU (3 hrs) was the biggest contingent, but a good showing by Nova (5 hrs) and Delaware (~6 hrs). Chicago (8 hrs) is just a little farther than Greenwich, but Champaign/Urbana is a half hour closer, yet Loyola probably outdrew Illinois. Chattnooga is almost 10 hours out and the Chattanooga/Illini game had the smallest attendance of the session, including Houston/UAB the two schools farthest away. Anyway, we're hosting again in 2024. Hopefully I can get there next time. And hopefully UConn is in it (if not playing even closer to Storrs). I'd love to play host to any and all who visit, except those who think Pittsburgh is in the midwest. You can keep driving until you hit Ohio. [/QUOTE]
