God, I want to. I have family out there and a place to stay for free. The issue is getting out there. I just took a spring break trip that took a big chunk of change out of my pocket

Does anyone know the possible game times on Sunday? I know we wont know what time slot we are in, but it would help to know what the possibilities are before I book the airfare.

Got my tickets last night for both sessions. One tip: Hotels around MSG have gouged their prices. I just got 3 nights at the Mariott in Midtown (5 minute cab ride to MSG) for $125 a night (priceline bid). Also, if we win Friday there will be cheap Uconn tickets for sale right afterward for Sunday.

Which Marriott? Marriott Times Square? Or A courtyard Midtown East?

Would've been nice if ISU got to play in Indy or Memphis. I'd have been there in a heartbeat. Oh well, I'll just make sure I make it to Arlington.

Looks like 6PM and 8:30PM EST. I'm assuming the New York game will be played at 6 and the Indy game at 8:30. Either way, makes it nearly impossible to catch a flight back Sunday after the game meaning you need to stay in town and catch a flight Monday.

Posted a new thread on some NYC tips. Not sure if I should have posted in here, but thought more people might see it as a new thread. Check it out if you are wanting to go, but short on cash.

What's everyone's strategy for buying tickets? Have a hotel room but I'm hoping tickets go down a bit before Friday.

Tickets to the game or airline? I'm gonna do CouchSurfing.org I think for the lodging or a hostel and I'm having trouble with flights. Tickets to the game I got through ISU

flame me for asking but is there anyway a student can buy multiple tickets and i'll buy them from you? I don't have the $750/per ticket but can find a flight and hotel for cheap

I can only buy one ticket. I have another friend buying a ticket but he's not going and my other friend is using his ID to pick up the tickets. I think we're gonna say he's waiting in line at Penn Station to get a locker and I'm gonna try and pick up both tickets. Otherwise I'm ****ed

There are flights out of Cedar Rapids on Thursday afternoon/evening, returning Monday AM for $480 roundtrip including taxes/fees.

Check Cedar Rapids to Laguardia. Newark was like $200 more than Laguardia.
