VakAttack Posted February 1 Author Posted February 1 For anyone thinking about going, I can't recommend it enough. Great time, basically a wrestling festival. 3

Tigerfan Posted February 1 Posted February 1 (edited) I don’t think I’ll go this year. I’m very familiar with KC, so that’s not a draw for me, though I think it will be great for newbies. Festivals aren’t really my scene anymore, be they music, art, or wrestling. Friends and family gather at my brother’s house (8 bedrooms) and watch on a variety of TV’s. Gone are the days when if you didn’t go, you missed matches. No hotel costs and better food. Ticket prices have increased over 500% since I started going while simultaneously watching every match from a comfy couch is dang near free. it’s an awesome experience and I recommend it highly, but for me the queues, crowds, drunks, potential weather, and Iowa fans (not you, Vak), tilt the scales in favor of skipping it.

MidwestMan Posted February 1 Posted February 1 I grew up in KC so I know the city well. I'm going to be curious to hear the comments about venue and area hospitality, like the "Power and Light District." I have a conflict for that weekend but may see if I can attend at least a session just to get the vibe. The Big 12 has hosted their basketball championships in KC forever and the fans seem to love it. Be sure to post your unbiased opinion, good or bad. Will be pulling for the Elams that weekend as they are local boys, as was their dad. One of the only benefits of being a old codgiur is following generational progression. Hoping you have a wonderful nationals experience in KC and want to come back.

MizzouFan01 Posted February 1 Posted February 1 @VakAttack, with news of you being in attendance at NCAAS, does this mean we will conduct our annual pick’em contest prior to your leaving for KC?

nhs67 Posted February 1 Posted February 1 It's B1Gs this year for me, gents. NCAAs next year. 1 "I know actually nothing. It isn't even conjecture at this point." - me
Show_Me Posted February 16 Posted February 16 Number 21 for me. This will hopefully prove to be a much better venue than the last time KC hosted (Kemper Arena in 2003). 1
flyingcement Posted February 16 Posted February 16 I would love to attend one day. Jealous of you all

Haven't been able to attend post-COVID due to my son's state gymnastics meet being that weekend. @VakAttack @MizzouFan01 Regarding the annual pick'em contest... I can be setup for a draft the day after brackets are released. I'm still thinking that a Zoom call will help speed up the draft process. 2

Imagine getting some of the old guys, zoomed up... Christ, some of the kids I work with can't turn their mic on. It was so much longer last year compared to the year before because we added folks. Once we're all there though, it should be much quicker and smooth as a puppet on a string. 1 .
