Too late! I just bought tickets for the three of us (me, Lew & NWICY) in the third row of sec 116. Can't wait!!
That's OK, we told those next to us we wouldn't be there so they could move if they want. I don't think I saw anyone sitting in our seats today, although it was hard to tell because the camera didn't get up to row 6 very often. We're on the aisle to the left side of the section according to the camera they use, two rows behind Wendy Wintersteen and her husband, and just behind the scorer's bench.
You will have fun and I'll try to see you!

Technically we're in row 1 - but there are two rows below us on risers. We are in the row with the railings. :D

Yeah, those two rows, at least Fri-Sat, seemed to be "high roller" seats in our area, with several Texas people there. Others I couldn't tell, but the people in those two didn't change by the game, like the first few rows directly behind the bench. Those were player parents, etc. and changed with the team.

Honestly, I was surprised these were available - I'm assuming they belonged to someone whose team lost. And there are actually 6 seats in the row in front of us and four or five in the row behind us! I like where we are because it's slightly elevated and I should be able to see better. :D

We just got home yesterday, and are heading back on Wed. afternoon, so will (again) miss the women's championship game. Should be there in time for evening men round Wed., and then for the duration.
@NWICY we have two unused tix if you want one for tomorrow night. Pretty darn close to the court, too!

Thank you for the offer but KC hooked me up. Sorry we are missing you.

Man, I was right behind you. We were the group that was made up of former pep band members. I was the tall gal (duh) with the red shirt that just said "State" on it.

Were you really there Fri-Sat and we missed each other?

I think the three next to us have some kind of connection to Emily Ryan.

And on that note, ROLL CALL:

Who besides the SaraVs, the Ms3s and Lew & I will be in KC this week? And is there any interest in getting together for lunch or drinks? We will be getting to KC early evening tomorrow.
Why didn't I open this thread earlier?

I went down Friday, back now.
I thought this was awesome:

I was actually talking about this week - we'll be down for the men's tournament. We booked our hotel for Tuesday thru Sunday. We thought we might catch one or both of the early games, but then something came up and we can't leave until early afternoon tomorrow. But we'll be there in plenty of time to watch the women in the championship game!

Not exactly sure.
The Marriott has an awesome lobby bar.
HUGE TV.
I am a little hesitant and the bar may be the safest bet. While I’m not a big fan, I do have connections with several of the big club and diehard fans. Some of them can hammer back drinks faster than I can blink.

I bet it's cheaper there than T Mobile. Mrs ordered a frozen marg and it was more than $20.

Watching the show “Below Deck” the yachting show. The primary guest is this Tina Smothers from Waukee and her husband with other friends. Holy cow these people are drunks. Tina is a real beotch! Her friend Eileen is the drunken fool. She fell face first on the side of the jacuzzi. God I’m just waiting to see some Hawkeye gear!!

Is this like a YouTube show? A boating show in Waukee?
