If You Plan on Going to Pittsburgh for the NCAA Games There

[sutomcat]

There are still a handful of individual tickets on sale at the NCAA official site for list price. They are good tickets, on the floor, close to the court, behind the baskets. $234. I believe only singles remain.

The tickets are for all 3 sessions...

I have a case in Pittsburgh, and the judge just set an all hands on deck hearing for March 16. So I think I'll be making it an extended trip and bringing my ten-year-old kid to court on the Friday in between games.

I think that's the same price I paid for mine and I'm upstairs behind the basket. Not happy but I'm in the house. It won't be the first time that I'll be poaching for better seats.

There is a fairly new casino downtown by the stadiums that they built. Maybe your kid can win some mad money while you are lawyering.

Not sure where you got a hotel, but some advice for others, go to priceline.com and bid. I was able to get the Westin, which they consider a four star hotel for $100 a night. It's within walking distance to the Consol Center and close to everything downtown including the St Paddy's day parade on Saturday, March 17th. It's also connected to the convention center, so i figured there would probably be stuff going on there as well.

I am staying at a Hampton Inn for about $130. St. Patty's Day? Yuck. This wop will be spending his time watching basketball.

If you are staying at the Hampton anywhere but downtown be prepared to have potential problems parking for Saturday's game. I would think with the NCAA's and the St Paddy's day parade going on that there will be a lot of people in a relatively small area. Even for Thursday's day session I would think parking might be a premium as well.

I plan on parking my car on Thursday and not moving it until I leave Sunday. I think we are like 2 miles from the arena so we will be walking to and from both days.

I hear they have cabs in Pittsburgh.

Yea but walking is free. Plus I can piss in some Pittsburgh's fans bushes on the way so its all good.

Cabs are for Air Force guys...you walk Marine.

 

[JOC44]

I clicked "like" because of the part about peeing in a Pitt fan's yard.

I don't think I can feed my ten-year-old daughter enough beer to get her to walk two miles.

kids are resilient these days. you would be surprised. (for the record, nether could I)

Just get her a slight buzz on...you don't want to be accused of being a bad Dad. Then tell her your seats are next to Justin Bieber's. She'll surely walk. Buy her a beer later to help her rationalize what a disappointment it was when Justin isn't there.

 

[JOC44]

My oldest daughter would kick Justin Bieber in the crotch. Try Ted Nugent or Alice Cooper.

I like how you said "crotch" since it's still unclear as to which set of genitalia Bieber actually has.
