UConn in 2021 Battle 4 Atlantis

[ConnZag3]

It's getting old seeing Cuse in these preseason tourneys almost every year...

When I went in 2015, tickets were readily available for almost every game. Champ game was obviously the largest crowd but there were still seats. It's also dependent on fanbases. Cuse was by far the biggest fanbase there in 2015 so their games were more packed than any others.

Atlantis did charge a pretty decent premium as the games got more important I believe as I bought 2 packages of all 12 games for like $350 each, but needed a 3rd for the UConn 3rd place game and I think it was like $50 for the single.

We booked our flights and Tix through UCONN travel in 2015 but booked our own room (stayed at the condos at Atlantis - called the Harborside or something) which was significantly cheaperfor a large group.

 

[JimHurley]

Did that include flight and hotel?

You can get a flight and airbnb for under $1K a person.

 

[Hogoff]

This is awesome news. Went in 2015. Absolutely tremendous.

I plan on going to this. I went to Charleston this year and that was awesome. I can imagine how much better Atlantis will be. Do you remember around what it cost you travel and all?

Let us rejoice and let us sing and dance and ring in the new. Hail Atlantis!

Who we play in the first round will be based solely on where they think we should be seeded when the bracket is released. #1 seed vs. #8, #2 vs. #7 etc. They will not pay attention to matchups except to try to get the #1 vs. #2 in the championship

 

[uconnsouth]

SOLD. Must make the trip from FL

 

[wheelerdog]

Good to know. For anyone that's been - does this ever sell out?

I do not recall any of the 2015 games being sellouts, but that may depend on the field. I've been to Maui when Kansas and Kentucky have been in the field - those were sellouts.

I don't think there's any way ESPN takes a chance on the Hurleys not matching up. I see a first round meeting.

 

[Chief00]

I don't think UConn will ever go back to Maui

Why?

 

[gampelcrazies]

Why?

Travel. I’m not sure Hurley wants travel that far. Calipari stopped going after we beat them in 2010 for that reason.

Thanks. I’d just hate to go and then not be able to get tickets. I’ve already been looking at some places to stay on the island...

Maybe like a once every 10 years thing.

Maybe

Based on the conferences in the field already I’m going to guess the TBD team is an American Athletic Conference team. Wouldn’t mind Cinci in this field (Memphis and Wichita St are both there this year)

The missing school is from Conference USA. Oddly enough they are the host conference for this tournament.

 

[Mister Wonderful]

Maybe

Cool, let me know!

 

[Dooooooomed]

Not necessarily. There is no CUSA team in the 2020 field. But weirdly there are 2 AAC teams (Memphis & Wichita).

 

[methodology]

I believe there a Marriott or something right by Atlantis property you can stay at inexpensively and a shuttle will bring you to Atlantis

Comfort Suites as well.

Doesn't seem like the travel hurt us that year.

I saw empty seats when I went. I bought the whole package. A few me and my son didn't go so are seats were empty. I assume others did the same. AND maybe people bought team games also. Hard to guess.

 

[UConnDad]

You can buy a package for all the games, or a package to follow your team, lastly individual games.

 

[UConnFranklin]

I've been to this tournament 2 times. It a lot of fun. Very good venue. Neither time was it sold out when I was there.

Appreciate it. It sounds like you can buy ahead online so I'd probably do that. I did extensive research on this tournament last year because I thought we'd be going this year.

Humm. Always has been a CUSA school.
