It will certainly be more than that. Depends on ifmpilrices drop. If Ticket Prices get back to the 150 range for session 1 the number of fans will be solely dependent on available tickets. I would guess we are at 7k that have tickets now and a few more thousand are waiting for it to drop. I would bet 1k more still buy even if they don't fall and 3k more will if they do.
Yeah hotels are cheap and if you get outside if the city a bit and drive in and park you can stay for 70 bucks. I got 4* for $111 downtown last night.
There are tickets for 178 on a couple sites now for session 1. And Craigslist sellers are now posting will meet at will call Friday to validate which would be fine and I have seen 150-200 there. You can still get tickets for under 200 easily.
There will be 5K max ISU fans. Agree on mainly based on ticket availability.
2-3K Virginia, 2-3.5K Syracuse and 1-2K Gonzaga. Rest will be random casual fans.
I bought 3 tickets in the the upper deck corners for $105 a piece after fees and shipping with about 6 minutes left in the little rock game. last night i said screw it and bought 4 tickets to the elite 8 for $85 a piece. Ill just scalp them friday night if we lose and should make my money back at least.
Lol. Way over 5k. I've seen friends pick up tickets left and right. No way Virginia and Syracuse bring 3k and ISU brings 5k. Would be flat out embarrassing
I'll take the over on that. There were more than 5k in Denver against a crappy opponent in the first weekend.
Chicago is 3 hours closer which makes a big difference IMO
River North is great for this sort of visit to Chicago. Reasonably priced hotels and parking. Tons of great restaurants and shopping. Safe to walk around.
I read that they can't sell alcohol at any of the NCAA tourney games.
Also read that in DSM they wanded everybody as they came in (not an NCAA rule, but DSM chose to). Anybody know if they'll be wanding in Chicago? Seems like a perfect opportunity for a flask.
I've been to a few different kinds of games in the UC and every time I had to walk through a metal detector and got lightly patted down. I'd imagine it'll be the same this weekend.
I'll say 8-10k. We had 70% of the crowd in Minneapolis is 2000 for the 1st and 2nd round. The entire upper deck was cardinal & gold with the exception of the few Creighton fans.
If they want to experience the atmosphere and pay the money for tickets. It's local IMO to cyclONEnation so I will take 10k with a bunch out side the stadium. It will be HiltonEast
5 other college kids and I are going. They are poor, so I am paying for the hotel room myself, in an attempt to get the United Center as Cardinal and Gold as I can. Pony up people, this is for the ******* elite 8!
Make no mistake, this will be a home game for us, and if there are less than 8,000 Cyclone fans there...there won't be less than 8,000. Has anyone seen how well we travel?
There were probably 4 or 5 thousands ISU fans at the second game in Denver. I expect at least twice that in Chicago.
