Hope ISU fan base steps up and gives this team some support in Chicago. I was surprised so few fans were in Milwaukee... Tickets were ridiculous but worth every penny. It was so cool to see all the players in the stands mingling with the fans for at least 15-20 minutes at the end of the game. Tyrese must of taken pictures with at least 100 fans including my 12 year old. The players all seem like they are genuinely good kids. Cyclone nation needs to make the UC Hilton east.

It's a challenging year for ISU fans FB on the rise takes dollars Wrestling on the uptick and success in both MBB and WBB. Not all fans have unlimited athletic entertainment dollars.

But I agree with you these teams deserve all the support the can get.

We need to root against KU hard. If they win and we win, it's breaking the bank. If they lose, tickets galore.

Yep that's been proven in KC year after year and for a final four run it would be a scalpers paradise.

So what is the best plan for parking or getting to the stadium? Me and my buddy are in Des Moines and are planning on coming back that night but we just don’t know if we need to take the subway or we should just park at the united center.

If you are planning on an in/out trip right after the games then I’d pay to park nearby the UC. Plenty of low cost parking on stubhub.

I booked Hyatt House West Loop as well, reasonable price, a lot of parking, good location from the looks of it. Easy access to CTA transportation within a block to and from the game as well.
Is that the one at 28 N Franklin? If so, that's where we will be as well.

Excited about going to the game(s). NOT excited about maneuvering around a big city. I'm a basic hick. :D

So, these newfangled mobile tickets are a ***** to figure out for someone who doesn't do this all that often. I THINK I have them downloaded. For what I paid, they better be there! :D

I was surrounded by cyclone fans in the cheap seats in the corner. I thought we showed out pretty good given the circumstances. The most Badgers in our section were with cyclone groups. There was a good mix in the cheap seats.

If you can get them to Google pay or Apple pay they are stored and you won't have any hiccups if you can't get data flowing. I don't think that should be a thing here but I always feel better with it stored in google pay.

They're in Google pay.
Now.
After about a half hour of frustration. :D

I haven’t got the link for the ones I ordered yet. Hopefully soon.

Clear bag policy? The united center website makes it sound like we don’t need one. But that seems odd.
