NCAA Tournament at Scottrade

Postby FearDaTrees » November 20th, 2013, 6:58 am

I just realized Scottrade will be hosting a 2nd and 3rd round site. I don't recall St. Louis hosting one of these, although I'm sure they have. Anybody have an idea of what tickets would cost scalping them for just the first day? I looked on StubHub and they're pretty steep right now. I went in 2005 at the RCA Dome in Indy and to this day it was my favorite sporting event i've ever attended. I would love to go to both sesions on Friday, regardless of the teams playing.

I try to make an NCAA site every couple of years with some buddies so I bought 4 during the presale. I think they cost a little over $1000 which should be cheap if Kansas is placed there. I got great seats too so I'm excited.

The MVC hosted in 2010 at the Ed Jones dome when UNI played in the sweet sixteen.

IIRC, I bought tix for like $150 a piece.

Hope the Shox don't end up there. The MVC hosting a tournament at the Scottrade center in St. Louis? Couldn't possibly end well.

Kansas, Kentucky, Louisville, and Oklahoma St would all count St Louis as their preferred regional this year. Whoever goes there will likely get two 1 seeds to watch.

If Wichita goes there, it'll mean they're in a 8-9 game. Not desirable.

Ohh, I don't know. Sometimes those 8-9 seeds work out.

I do think it will be difficult for WSU to get an 8-9 seed though. I think the exposure and national perception this year is such that IF WSU does enough to warrant an NCAA at-large bid it will be in the 5-7 range.

Also in STL in 2012. I believe SLU was host that year, not the Valley. Also, people can correct me if I am wrong but with the Valley hosting, WSU cannot play in St. Louis.

Based on what we've seen so far, Wichita St won't be a high seed. Plenty of time to correct the problems but the Shox don't even look like the best team in the valley.

cool thing is WSU didn't look like a final four team last year at this time either and looked what happened.

Only three undefeated teams left in the Valley. Who would you put in front of them?
