Re: Arch Madness

Tickets through UNI are PSC based. I am looking forward to another fun weekend. Who is staying at the team hotel (Lumiere)? We are!

Re: Arch Madness

I get my tickets in Early December when they go on sale through Ticketmaster, the last 3 years I have been in the front row in a folding chair, I am again this year. As much as I know the University wants people to get their tickets through them, I just don't understand why people do.

Also, I was just in the Loo last night, there is a new bar that opened at Lumiere called "sleek", wow, it is going to be awesome when that place is packed with purple.

Re: Arch Madness

Re: Arch Madness

Lumiere place is phenominal. It really adds a "upbeat" feel to a dying Lacledes landing. Very clean, very up beat, always a lot of people, one down note, the tables are outrageous, 15 dollar min blackjack Friday and Saturday nights (of course when we will be there).

It does get kind of smokey, if you like to gamble and don't like smoke, cross the river on the train (not as bad as people make it out to be) and go to the Casino Queen (brand new a year ago) it is smoke free.

I would recomend that when you get to St. Louis you buy a two day visitor pass for the Metro, stop is 3 blocks from Lumiere and will drop you off at the door of Scottrade. A two day pass is about 8 - 10 bucks.

The Metro is the way to go..........takes you every place you want to go. We've been staying out by the airport were motel prices are what they should be and shuttle to the Metro and then to the game (and any place else downtown)!

Re: Arch Madness

Thanks for the tip on the 2 day pass Jeg. I didn't know that existed. I'll be staying in the Hampton near the Lumiere and think the train will be the way to go.

Re: Arch Madness

Ya...thanks for the metro tip. I will check it out.

Re: Arch Madness

I have bought passes the last three years, the only problem is, there is no need to as I have never had it checked. Not one time. So, I guess if you want to save a few bucks, you could skip the pass and just hop on the train.

Re: Arch Madness

I've been checked twice...............once when a drunk on the Metro was making trouble and picked him up at Union Station (checked for tickets) and once last year before we got on at the Scottrade station.

Re: Arch Madness

Re: Arch Madness

Please, everyone check out the courtesy diner this year for a breakfast, or a late night meal, you can also try the St. Louis Cafe, their specialty you ask?

The Sling

Two pieces of Sausage Patty
Three Fried Eggs
Six pieces of Bacon
Two Biscuits
One Ladel of Sausage Gravy
One Ladel of Chili.

mmmm......

I won't be going because I like to spend my nights downtown, but if anyone would like the best authentic Itallian, try the "hill." About 20 Itallian Restaurants. Yummy

Re: Arch Madness

We are staying at the team hotel, my son has enjoyed seeing some of the players around in the lobby and in the elevator in years past. I hope the hotel is decent this year but as long as UNI wins I probably won't care!
