Re: Big 12 Tourney in KC

Likes:
Of course Kelly's, we stayed about 5 blocks from there
Sprint Center area, very nice and still a work in progress
QuickTrip inside of Sprint Center. $7-$9 for some hot sandwich at the concessions or $3.49 for a cold sandwich, wish I had found that place the first day!
Colorado cheer leaders. We ranked the cheer squads for the teams and went 1.CU 2. T A&M 3. either OSU or Texas.

Dislikes:
High concession prices, expected though
KU fans, you swear they never committed a foul the whole tourney as much as they boo
A&M yell leaders, we had no idea what they were doing. Was a combo of a hog call and the hokie pokie from what we could tell
Sprint Center entrance, very slow sometimes because they ran the metal detectors on everyone that came in and between games there were no enter/exit only doors so you were fighting people traffic if you came in late.

When was Pollard at Kelly's? We were there every night from Thursday on but was after the games were over. Also, the scalping was not too bad I thought. We actually tried to sell our tickets to Friday's 2nd session but couldn't get what we wanted. Tried for $150 a ticket which we found out later the people behind us were able to sell theirs for that. Best offer we got was right after the game from a scalper (not a fan) was $550 for all 4 seats and we kicked ourselves later for not taking it as the best we got later was either $100 a ticket or $500 for all 4. Got some interesting reactions from people when we told them what we wanted. We just said if no one wants to pay us that it's worth it to use to just use the tickets so we didn't care if they thought it was too much. Not like we were desperate to sell.

Overall a great weekend, still feeling the after effects from the late night. This event needs to stay in KC every year!
