I know I wouldn't mind if they came to Jacksonville but after seeing what they want for them would rather see it on TV.

If we get the Midwest, It'll surely be Louisville. The regional semi's and Finals are in Cleveland for the Midwest. The final four is in Indy!

We got the Midwest #1 locked up. Duke will probably get the South so if you want to see them you can go to Jacksonville for the sweet 16.

Don't think that will happen Bama even if it was a free front row seat.

I got invited to Atlanta 10-12 years back when we went in and dropped the first game in the SEC Tourney. The friend had 4 tickets to every game and we only watched the one game with UK and never went back after they lost. The lady got the tickets for free through her work but the price was out of this world just for the SEC tourney.

NCAA tournament ticket prices have really ruined it for the average person and that is a shame. It's only the very wealthy that have the opportunity to see the games.

The arena in Nashville isn't as big as Rupp though, is it?

MH, I don't think any of the games will be played in Nashville. The finals will be played in Lucas Oil Stadium (Indianapolis). I think for basketball they can seat 41,000 in Indy.

The only bad thing is, domes have terrible site line because of distance from the floor. Years ago the RCS Dome, they would set the court up in one end zone (of the football field) and seat between 40 & 45,000 people! Now they try to put 72,000 people into that arena!

In '97 when the Cats were in the Finals at INdy, my brother and I were standing outside the dome 2 hours before it was supposed to open. (We didn't know what time it opened). My brother almost ran over top of CM NEwton as seating was carnival and we sat mid-court front row beside of PAt Forde!
