Message: [QUOTE="llandz, post: 2170590, member: 1679"] Have you been downtown? That is where most of the stuff was centered. I was there on Sunday. I watched the women's final game in an absolutely packed sports bar. At least 10 Syracuse fans or residents came over to me as I had on a Syracuse tshirt. I went to the concert, although I was invited to a private party in a loft overlooking the park, and watched the concert from there. The streets were full of people. When I walked from the sports bar to the concert, I got stopped several times by people who were from Syracuse. The South Carolina hotel had set up an entire outdoor tv/sports bar type of venue for their fans to watch the women win the tournament. They were still going wild when I walked past. There were several hundred people at that hotel area from South Carolina. Some people I know played golf that day, or sat by the pool. It was 85 here, and probably 35 in Syracuse. Probably 45 in Indianapolis. I had to run and get on the light rail after the concert before the lines got long. The Diamondbacks and the Suns were both playing downtown also that day. I was in Atlanta for the Final Four. I would say, downtown Phoenix was more active than Atlanta was on Sunday. Atlanta was downright dead until 5pm when the concert started. Downtown has grown tremendously in the past 5 years. Since the last super bowl was here (2 years) it has probably almost doubled with what is going on there. There are a ton of hotels, part of the ASU and U of A campuses moved there. The restaurants are some of the best around. Then there is Old Town Scottsdale. I don't even venture near there in March. I can take 2 hours to find a parking space. This carried over into the tournament time. Let me remind you that I lived in NJ, went into Manhattan all the time, but keep away from the crowds in Scottsdale. I also went to see Alexis Peterson in the 3 point shooting contest on Thursday. I tried to meet up with Eric Devendorf, who loved Phoenix/Scottsdale. Said it was an incredibly cool place. He did go back on Sunday with the rest of the coaching staff. [/QUOTE]
