Who is going to The World's Most Famous Arena this week?
I get in to town at 7am on wednesday morning for my 18th tourny, very excited about it. Meeting up with Megafan and a few others before going to the game on Wednesday. Who will we see at Cafe 31 at 6p on Wednesday evening?
Also, have most of you bought tickets or are you waiting to get them at the garden on game day? We dont have any yet so will be looking to buy some tomorrow which shouldnt be as much of a chore as it has been in the past. I wonder if they will go for less than face on the street once the first game starts...

You will certainly see FHills, JohnnyJones and dTRAIN........Café 31 and Section 102
First Tournament was '89 (our freshman year). Don't think I've missed a GU game in the BET since about '93. Of course, to make up for it, I watched Othella and company lose to Minnesota in the NIT Final at MSG that year - when Kevin Millen took our last shot. Good times, indeed...

I am going to try to attend. I am not sure about Wednesday's game, but I will be there on Thursday if we have a game. I'm probably going to just pick up a cheap ticket on StubHub at the last minute. There's supposed to be a kickoff at Vanderbilt Hall at Grand Central at 5 pm today. I think it's largely a Fox Sports 1 thing but I am going to see what it's about since I work nearby.

I can't go tomorrow, but hoping there's a game to go to Thursday, but still don't have a ticket yet. I'll probably stop by the Grand Central thing too, since I'll be there on my way home anyway.

Even if we're already eliminated, my first BET game will be Friday night, and then I'll probably go Saturday, too. Also don't have any tickets yet, but between box office, StubHub, and scalpers, I'm assuming they'll be available right up until gametime.

I'm told the Vanderbilt Hall event is an exhibition and fan interaction. It starts in 12 minutes.

The Grand Central event was a Big East Legends game. Reggie Williams and David Wingate were there. There were former players (mostly former NBA, as well) from Providence, DePaul, St. John's (Felipe Lopez), Seton Hall (Dehere), Creighton.
They had a promotional free gift give away, which included t-shirts, foam fingers, etc. I didn't stay because of work, but they were going to do autographs after. There were a decent amount of people checking it out, but it was not super crowded either. Still, it's a good way to raise awareness in New York.

I'll be there with HoyaChris and a slew of '78s, an '81 and various offspring -- continuing the tradition started in Providence '80, and hoping for the same result..

I and my '13 daughter will be there Friday and Saturday regardless. Nice to see you slumming with one of my classmates, hoyajmw.

I will be there tonight on Section 212. It is actually my first live game all year so I'm looking forward to it and hopefully a return trip Thursday.

By sheer dumb luck I'll be going into NYC tomorrow for business, with perfect timing for the evening session. Can anyone tell me the best way to snag a ticket? Is the Ticketmaster connection through the GU site best? And am I right that tomorrow night would be session 3?
