NCAA Roll Call

[pawrestlersintn]

Now that I have KYPSW stuff out of the way, it's time to get focused on being there. (Actually, I called Dad Wednesday afternoon to ask if he had packed, yet, because I was considering packing that night.)

We're staying at the Marriott Country Club Plaza. Initially, our seats are in 206, Row 1, 18-19. Any close-by seat mates? Anyone I'll find in the bar?

Let's goooooooo!!

 

[amattaro]

220 Row 1. Staying at Sheraton Crown Center.

I’m worried about you in row 1. Please bring your harness!

 

[Gumby79]

PA- We'll be 8 rows behind you in 206. Renting a house in Westport, and plan to do most our drinking there.

 

[Just another PSU Fan]

107 row 6 ... hilton downtown ... cigar bar and a nip of bourbon

 

[PAHURDLER]

Now that you say that... I'll be the one with a camo, five-point harness.

They can have multiple uses, yes.

[PAHURDLER]

Was looking at car rentals at the airport. Flying in Wednesday night. If I pick up a car at 10:30pm Wednesday and return it Sunday morning, it’s $125/day.

If I pick up the car 90 minutes later at midnight (and return at the same time), it’s $65/day.

That’s pretty crazy.

 

[not so fast my friend]

Anyone figure out parking at arena yet?

 

[OzarkLion]

Son and I are Section 224, Row 2, staying at the Westin Crown Center

 

[82bordeaux]

Staying at Marriott Country Club Plaza and sitting in the PSWC Suite. I will be bringing some George T Stagg to celebrate another Natty Daddy for Carter and PSU.

Nice. I'll see you in the arena.

Won't hit the bar until 11ish Wednesday night. Going out on a limb, assuming you'll still be there?

 

[PSU Mike]

So what did suite price range end up being?

 

[AgSurfer]

I’ll be directly in front of my big screen TV, first row seat. One to three kitties in my lap and a well stocked fridge close by. 😁

 

[Psalm 1 guy]

Envy is a sin so I will just say you are blessed to be able to be there for the tournament and I despise you all! I hope you all have a wonderful time, and I look forward to seeing your posts after the tournament highlighting your trip!

 

[NCPsuFan]

Section 117 Row 7. Staying at the Mariott downtown KC hopefully. But there is drama with that of course. May have lost my reservations due to them “overbooking”! Fingers crossed!

I posted this in another thread...
"Check with PSWC. Email Helen Knerr. Her full name, no spaces, @gmail.com. I heard last night they might still have some rooms available."

Loews Hotel is 0.4 miles from arena. Why do you want a car?

 

[billrag]

I've had a hard time finding time for vacations and didn't even think about this, but damn, you guys are going to have a great time and I wish I could be there, for the wrestling and the PSU talk at the bar. I'll be right here holding down the fort.

It was more to get to/from the airport but I am rethinking that now.

 

[Agoodnap]

Don't forget about parking fees, which will be $30 or more per day. A cab or uber will probably cost about $40-$50 each way so plan for $100 and buy a nice meal or two with your savings, or perhaps a round of drinks for the Iowa fans to give them something to cheer about.

All great points. I think the rental car idea is a no go.

Public transit bus from the airport to that area is free.

There's a smaller stop closer to hotel than the ones listed, but the 11th/12th and Grand is a good time estimate

2300 Doll Hairs. That was set by The T-Mobile Center. I was offered a suite at the same exact price per ticket.

Better be careful.
