Anybody else heading to the Kohl Center next week?

[Buchec18]

Just bought my ticket, in the student section with two others so far. Anybody else heading to Madison next weekend? Anyone else in the student section as well? We're wearing gold to stand out more.

We should possibly meet up at a bar in Madison before the game if anybody is interested. Thoughts?

[GGGG]

I will be there in gold.  One of my dear friends is a UW season ticket holder and he has me come up every other year for this game.  We meet at a bar before and after.  Great times....

[21Jumpstreet]

Yep, four of us in gold.  Any MU bar to head to before the game?

[Litehouse]

I'm going.  Don't have a ticket yet, but I'm definitely going.  My brother went to UW, so we have fun with the game every year.

..in the box!  Only one wearing B and G.  My buddy gives a lot of $ to the WSJ so they can't say sh*t and it is OK with him.  GO MU!

Here's hoping some UW fans stay home to watch the Badgers in the football title game.  The fewer hostile fans in that gym the better chance we will have

I will be there.

I assume there will be quite a few making the trek to Indianapolis.  I know a few season ticket holders who will choose the title game over the basketball game.  I am guessing some tickets will open up.  Perhaps Tim Maymon will finally get the amount of tickets he desires for this game.

As for heading to Madison, if driving from Fitchburg qualifies, then I am.  Otherwise, there will be 5 of us, as usual, wearing gold.  We prefer the gold, as it stands out against the red.  You notice more MU fans that way.

I'll be there with 3 badger fans.  We need to win this game, or I'm going to have a long night.

[Peoples_Republic_Warrior]

to the MU/UW game? Now that the badgers are in the B10 championship game tickets should be easy to come by, so who's going?? I'll be in the student section (god help me)..

[Mr. Nielsen]

I 'll be there!! I hope to start the "We are Marquette" chant, like I did in 2007.

[Brewtown Andy]

I'll be there.

It's actually going to be my first trip to the Kohl Center, so any tips/tricks/pregame suggestions are welcome.

[JamilJaeJamailJrJuan]

I'd like to go. Now that the football team is playing, I have heard cheap tickets shouldn't be all that hard to come by....where is a good place to look?

There's about 60 tickets available for $51 or less on StubHub right now. None of them have electronic delivery, though.

Just checked Stubhub, and the cheapest tickets are $40 in the 3rd level.  There are usually a lot of tickets for sale outside at reasonable prices, but that's always a little unpredictable.  Not as many scalpers as at MU games, usually just people unloading extras.

[Mr. Nielsen]

That is the lowest price I've seen an MU-UW game at Kohl Center in a long time. If anyone else is thinking about going, I would say this is the time to go.

Might be a big pile of people putting their tickets up in the next 24 hours as they figure out plans to go to Indy for the B1G title game.

[MUBalla23]

Are there plans for the mu faithful to meet up at a bar/restaurant before or after the game?

[Litehouse]

Anyone know what section is behind the MU bench?  Is it 121?

Also, the UW student section is Sec. 113-117, 214-216, & 314-316.  Lot's of student voucher tickets for sale, but I don't know if they have a student ID policy that might cause complications.

From looking at pictures, it would appear that's the case.

[ZiggysFryBoy]

I'll be there.

Being 'there' and cleaning up the popcorn and soda cups out of the stands aren't really the same thing.

Off topic, do people at the Wisconsin State Journal really use the WSJ acronym?  If so, that's kinda funny.

[eroc830]

Any suggestions for a cheap hotel near the Kohl Center?  I know some MU fans staying at the Double Tree but I am not sure if there are better options.

You may want to ax the soda and popcorn cups sweeper from a couple of posts above. He's pretty connected and can hook you up.
