I go to a few away games and BET most years but this is the first game in Omaha for me since the Jimmer versus Doug game (2011?). I am pumped. What time does the arena open? I want to soak it all in.

I'm also headed into town for my first game since @Marquette in December 2022. Excited for what should be an electric atmosphere

it is gonna be a zoo down near CHI tomorrow. The game, of course -- but the Get Blue event beforehand, plus I believe there are volleyball AND dance (or gymnastics, something) events at the convention center too.

Should be a good atmosphere!

I don't know how much it will add to the zoo atmosphere down in that area, but I think Marquette is having its own alumni event before the game at the Mattress Factory, too. There are a ton of Marquette alum in the Omaha area, so there will be a fair amount of blue and yellow in the arena, unfortunately.

Hmmm, yes, and a majority will be in the Lexus Club, hoopdy doo seats at mid court opposite the benches. :evil:

One benefit of the “repricing” may be some of the corporations giving up their hoopdy doo seats allowing some more younger individuals to finally move up the points ladder.
