Midtown Crossing wrote:Omaha, Neb. – Midtown Crossing will offer basketball fans the convenience of a free game day shuttle during the second and third rounds of the NCAA men’s basketball tournament on March 20 and 22.
Service to CenturyLink Center Omaha will begin 60-minutes before the first tip-off of the day – run a continuous loop during the games – and conclude 60-minutes after the final buzzer of the day. The shuttle will pick up and drop off on 31st Avenue, just east of Brix.
“We’re thrilled that Omaha is hosting the action – and that we get to welcome fans from around the country to Midtown Crossing. Our restaurants will be serving up slam dunks and an assist from our shuttle will help keep traffic fouls to a minimum,” said Molly Skold, Midtown Crossing’s vice president of marketing and communications.
Midtown Crossing retailers are getting in on the action by offering game day specials throughout the month of March. Fans can also register online to win a reserved table at Saints Pub + Patio and $200 toward food and drink for the Championship game on April 6.
Parking:
Midtown Crossing offers convenient and secure parking for more than 3,000 vehicles. Two parking garages are easily accessible from 33rd, Farnam and Harney Streets. In both garages, the first three hours are free, and visitors pay only $1 for each hour thereafter (with a daily maximum fee of $6).

Any guesses? I have a gut feeling that they might send the Shockers to town.

iamjacobm · Post by **iamjacobm** » Sun Mar 15, 2015 5:04 pm

Kansas, New Mexico St, Wichita State, and Indiana

iamjacobm · Post by **iamjacobm** » Sun Mar 15, 2015 5:30 pm

Wisconsin, Costal Carolina, Oregon and Oklahoma State

iamjacobm · Post by **iamjacobm** » Sun Mar 15, 2015 5:32 pm

I LOVE our games! KU is always fun, Shockers in town will be interesting, IU is a blue blood, Wisconsin is a great great team, Oregon with the Altman connection and OK St is a solid filler.

Got a lot of interesting teams this year, the CLink is going to be packed.

Glad we have Kansas, Wisconsin and Indiana, their fans all travel well.

All games on CBS which is great exposure. Apparently the resale market for Omaha games is head and shoulders above the rest of the country too.

Shatel wrote:CU fans hold the majority of the tickets for this event. They aren't fans of Wichita but they are fans of money. I asked a Creighton fan via twitter Sunday night if he would sell his tickets to Wichita State fans. His reply: "At double prices, yes." Why do I get the feeling Wichita State fans are about to fund a new fleet of Lexus cars and golf trips to Scottsdale?

We need to see an autographed Philly cheesesteak, or this didn't really happen.

South Carolina is a far cry from Philly...
Now, I can take a pic of their bus if you want

I had ISU in the Final Four. I thought the weak section of the bracket would allow them to go. Guess the moral of the story is to never choose the Cyclowns.

skinzfan23 · Post by **skinzfan23** » Thu Mar 19, 2015 3:37 pm

Wow Big 12 is 0-2 (with both 3 seeds losing by 1)

Post by **Coyote** » Thu Mar 19, 2015 3:46 pm

Baylor lost? |expletive|!

Their coach has a blown knee and had to sit all game and fell down after his son hit the winning 3 from deep.

This isn't really about basketball, but I noticed KETV's facebook page has a story about what to do in Omaha for all the basketball visitors and there is a picture from our very own Collin Ulness:

A lot of half empty arenas.

I don't think that will happen here in Omaha. I was commenting to my wife as well tonight. For the Harvard/N. Carolina game in Jacksonville there were so many empty seats behind the Harvard bench.

Wow what a day for great games though. Out of the 14 completed so far, 9 of them have been decided by 4 pts or less, including 4 that were one point games. Glad Creighton isn't in this tournament. With their record during close games this season, they would almost undoubtedly lose again.

skinzfan23 · Post by **skinzfan23** » Thu Mar 19, 2015 11:21 pm

Looks like the Big East is going to finish the first day 4-0, while the Big 12 was 0-2.
