Jay Bilas is emceeing the event? Clearly he's only agreed to this to sabotage a Big East team.

In all seriousness, sounds like an interesting event. Would love to go.

I'm flirting with the idea. Reasonably priced flights in.

Sounds like there are a lot of speakers... will be interesting to see how lively & interesting they can keep it
Thanks for ruining summer, Canada.

Might not be very good, but I can try if you let me spend a couple days out there in my own time! In fact I have a guy who works in commercial banking, maybe he can help me.

Flying in Friday, sticking around til Sunday mid-afternoon... might stay with friends, but thinking about just getting a hotel. It looks like they have significantly discounted rooms at the Ambassador Hotel available... have never stayed there and when I was in school, it was a different era.. understand it's a lot nicer now. Anyone have thoughts on it?

Also.. looks like they may have a deal to get a discounted visit to the MU Rec Center... maybe alums get a discount regardless? I would like to stop in -- might work out a little -- but mostly just want to check it out after all these years.

If you want to just walk around and see what the Rec Center looks like you should be able to stop at the office and explain you're an out of town alum in for the 100 year celebration and just want to check it out and I'm 99% sure they'll let you just walk around. Maybe even give you a guided tour. It's not much to see, though. Hopefully the new one will be.

2 years, but it's been awhile since I had some free time to explore as much as I'd like...

It's nice. They refurbished the whole place. My wife and I stayed there for a weekend after I won a couple free nights at Marquette games. Rooms are clean and well kept, good service, all in all we were satisfied. Good brunch as well.

It's a fine hotel.  But do understand that it's 'old school'.  So if you like classic you'll like it a lot.  And it's owned by Marquette guys.  They made a big time investment without the guarantee of success.  Good for them and the neighborhood.
