How does selection go in relation to the cities? Do they try to keep teams somewhat regional?

[bdan2002]

yep - they try and keep teams close. I am guessing that we will be a 15 seed vs 2 texas a&m in new orleans

[CMJ]

They try and keep high seeds as reional as possible. We won't get that consideration.

According to the NCAA website, the following sites are already sold out of tickets:

Of course, that doesn't mean you can't get tickets through the school or Stubhub.com or a scalper...just passing along the info.

According to Ticketmaster.com...seats at New Orleans are $148, regardless of location, for a 3-game book. Individual tickets are not available online.

Tickets for Chicago are $225, Lexington tickets are $150, all for 3-game books, all according to the NCAA website.

I'd love to go to either of these cities.

Chicago and New Orleans would be my two favorites.

One thing that'd be cool about Chicago: St. Patty's Day is huge up there, and for that celebration they dye their downtown river a lovely color.

It'd almost seem like the Windy City was pulling for THE MEAN GREEN.

And btw....the first round games are all going to be on the weekend of St. Patrick's Day.

I'd like Sacramento for obvious reasons. But depending on the destination I'm gonna try and go. Making the Tourney doesn't happen every year.

Not yet anyways.

Who knows, maybe you'll run into Harrison Ford at the St. Patrick's Day Parade...
