Anybody going to BET?

[MU82]

I am toying with the idea of making the trip for this last big shebang of a Big East Tourney. It would really be a "well the hell, why not?" decision, totally by the seat of my pants.

It would sure be a lot more fun if I were able to hang out with some other Marquette types, at least before and after games.

Anybody else thinking about going?

[Eldon]

Me and a buddy of mine who lives in NYC thinking about going.  I recall last years tourney being pretty cheap, but that was the first year I contemplated going so i wasnt sure if that was an anomaly.  How much are tickets usually?  Right now on stubhub theyre going for about $85

Be there Thursday. My fifth trip. Never seen MU win.

Me and a few of my buddies are going.  We should set up a Marquette bar for the weekend.

Agreed. If I decide to go, I'm in!

[Steve Buscemi]

I'll keep you posted on the headquarters.

Must have gotten to NYC late the years that you went because MU has a win each year except two.

Then for the love of God, STAY AWAY!

Not that I am superstitious or anything.............

[jaybilaswho?]

I will be there Thursday to Sunday. Never been before. Looking forward to it.

I'm getting in Wednesday. I'm thinking about hitting of the sessions that day. Should I scalp outside or buy online beforehand?

[DCWarriors04]

I'll be there next weekend for the St Johns game, but if Marquette makes the championship game, I might make the trip from DC to NYC again.

[The Lens]

I'm in for Thurs & Fri.  This double bye is huge for a guy for who booked Wed afternoon flights in Nov.

[geps]

On the other hand I have never seen a loss in the NCAAs. 2 wins, mizzou  03 and Murray St last year

I think most of the New York alumni meet up at Windfall in New York for games. It's located on 39th and between 5th avenue and Avenue of the Americas, so not too far from the Garden.

Going with my dad. We went when the the Amigos were seniors. Have been looking to get back since then. It was an absolute blast.

I'm also going Saturday, is this the meet up spot?

[MU82]

Now I'm starting to get psyched about the possibility.

I just told my wife about an hour ago that I was thinking about it and she didn't respond with "Oh no you're not," so what the hell, right?!?!?!

[mugrad2006]

Wife and I will be there for the whole tourney. We've been meaning to go for years now, and it just so happens it falls on our first wedding anniversary, yet I think she might be more excited than I am.  Can't wait to take in the entirety of the last year of the BEast tourney as I've always known it. 

[geps]

Yeah missed a couple wins. Only saw the elimination game.

[MUSID]

My wife and I are flying in on Tuesday for the BET.....Never have been, but have talked about it every year, figured since it is the last year, time to go.....have been to Greensboro'74; Atlanta '77 and N. Orleans '03 so might as well make this one.....Have niece and nephew to visit in the City.....  Bought ticket packages for 2 of us as season ticket holders....a "real bargain" at $470@ for all sessions.....I'm told student tickets are available for student season ticket holders for $10 a game when MU plays....  The team and MU hotel is the Westin at Times Square for the MU bargain rate of $389/nt +.....We are flying our 2 sons in Thursday who have never been to NYC.  We have a hotel 2 blocks from MSG and around the corner from the announced MU bar Mustang Harry's located at 352 7th Ave., about 3 blocks from MSG.  GO WARRIORS!

I'll be there next weekend for the St Johns game, but if Marquette makes the championship game, I might make the trip from DC to NYC again.

A few of us are flying out from Chicago and Milwaukee for the St. John's game too.

Windfall doesn't have any deals going on.  I say we find a place where vortex's aren't $7.

[mu_eyeballs]

Vision Expo East...largest optical expo in the country that weekend...NICE!  "Business trip"

[Frenns Liquor Depot]

A few of us are flying out from Chicago and Milwaukee for the St. John's game too.

Where are you all meeting up?  Will be down for the St Johns game with my father in law via CT.
