Question about West Virginia

[SCdem@MU]

I'm thinking about making a road trip from DC to watch Marquette play against West Virginia. Has anyone on this board been there before?

If so do you have any advice on the area and the seating in the arena? Ticket are still available for the game, but I can't get the online ticket order form on the WVU website to display where they are (there are also plenty of tickets on a number of ticket websites).

I would ask on one of the WVU message boards, but they seem pretty preoccupied at the moment with their football coach leaving for Michigan.

Also if anyone else on this board is headed out for this game, let me know!

IT IS A MUST GO TO ROAD TRIP!!!!!

If you are between the ages of 21 and 30 the town is one non-stop party with giant bars, hot co-eds, and a lot of other crazy crap!!!

The arena is pretty old and crappy but their really isnt a bad seat in the house as it is just a large round shaped arena with no corners.

You got to go!!!!

We're looking into doing a bus trip out for the game from DC.  I'll post details when it's all arranged.

[SCdem@MU]

awesome, but when do you expect to be letting everyone in the DC chapter know?

also when would the bus leave? Sunday or Saturday?

Personally I would rather make a weekend of it and leave Saturday so I can experience what the town has to offer. If the bus is leaving Sunday I would probably plan to go on my own rather than with the DC chapter.

Please let the folks in the DC chapter know as soon as possible, with the holidays coming up there isn't much time to plan for this, so the sooner we all know the better.

OK, here's the bus information.  If you have questions, please contact Mollie. (see below)  They currently have a 30-person bus, but if interest warrants, they can get a 57-person.  There will be a registration website up in the next couple days, but if you want to reserve your spot now, just contact Mollie.

The bus will be going up Sunday morning and making a full day of it.  Unfortunately, given our time frame we just don't have the capabilities to plan a weekend trip at this point.  The official email should be out on Friday from Marquette with a sign-up so you can register online!

I mentioned this trip to my wife, and she said. "Don't order tickets. We're already going." As part of my Christmas present she got us two tickets to WVU. Hopefully I'll see some of the DC contingent there. I'll ber wearing my MU hockey jersey.
