    "Goodbye" American Airlines Center, and "Hello" vacant/dying malls

    NEVER! When AAC “hosted “ the Big 12 MBB Tournament in 2003, 2004, & 2006, it was probably the least attended tournament in our history. The fans from Texas only came to their games and the metro-area residents continually asked us, “Why are you in town?” because they were unaware of the...

    WOW! I doubt anyone will beat that. Thank you for your dedication! I’ll drive 9-miles from University City, the nearest western suburb to STL.

    Tailgating in Cincinnati

    In 2023, parking was free behind Arlin’s Bar (307 Ludlow Avenue) where the ISU pregame gathering will start at 9:00 am. (Hopefully this year they have sufficient staff and Bloody Mary mix for the overflow of Cyclone fans.) Friday night at 5:30 pm EDT, Happy Hour for Cyclones will start at...
