Bring On The Cats

Welcome Back to Kansas City

Welcome one and all to the City of Fountains for this year's Big 12 men's and women's basketball tournaments!

Two years ago, when the tournament was here, I did a long post as a guide to Kansas City for visiting fans.  I didn't have time to do that this year, but feel free to use the comments section to ask questions, discuss the tournaments, or talk about anything else.

It's good to have the tourney back in KC.  I'm looking forward to a good week.

I'll start things off...

…with a roll call. Who’s going to the games?

Booyah!
Can't. Family and work obligations. Have fun those that do get to make it!
Unfortunately I won't make it up to KC from OKC but

they are televising all the games not on ESPN here locally so
at least I can watch it all on TV!

The City of Fountains?

Really?

Gotta do something with that aquifer
Don't be a playa hata
Really

Kansas City ranks second in the world in the number of fountains, next only to Rome, Italy.

Although I’d prefer the moniker, “City of Barbecue.”

Anyone know if tickets may be easier/cheaper to get once teams start losing?

Tips for getting these tickets???

I'm planning on going down mid-afternoon on Thursday

in hopes to scalp a ticket to the evening session for cheap. If nothing turns up, I’ll just watch the game from a bar. Though, I’m also holding out hope some tickets sprout from that magic tree I planted in my yard last year.

So far it’s only given me a Steve Balboni rookie card and an old Montreal Expos jersey.

It won't be, but if...

…tomorrow’s evening session is like today’s evening session, you’ll be able to name your price for pretty good seats. I was trying to sell two seats in the lower level, and couldn’t even find a buyer. Now, with K-State and some other good draws in the games tomorrow they’ll be harder to come by, but I would think you’ll find something.

Yep

Find a Mizzou fan or an ISU fan. They’ll be selling.

You mean Oklahoma fans didn't travel?

Shocking…
