MVC Tourney

Re: MVC Tourney

If your feeling chicken, check out Hodaks. Very good meal for a good price.

Don't be too intimidated if there's a line, it moves fast. It's very well organized.

I recommend IMO's pizza. YUUUMMM!

Might want to try a small first. If you haven't had provel cheese on pizza before, you may be in for an unpleasant surprise. St. Louis really isn't a pizza town IMHO, though Deweys or Fortels are good (and use mozzeralla). Neither has downtown locations, though.

First trip to the MVC tourney -

We now know we play for sure on Friday at noon. For me that means I am going to need to leave Iowa on Thursday afternoon and spend the night in St. Louis. Don't really want to pay another night of downtown rates - any good suggestions of a cheap place to stay outside the area.

When we do get to the game, are we better off going straight to our hotel and parking there even though the rooms most likely won't be available or is there decent parking at the STC?

Tickets ordered from UNI - any word?

Hotwire your whole trip, Holiday Inn Downtown right now for $59 a night. If you paid too high of a rate you obviously went the expensive route and should be able to cancel. I would recommend it. If you need two beds put down that you have 4 people in a room.

Do not park at Scottrade, hop the train, they won't even check your passes, or take a 4 dollar cab ride, it is better than the 15 dollar parking around the arena.

Re: MVC Tourney

Re: MVC Tourney

i was told they were sold out. Anyone have any extra? Just looking for ONE ticket.

Re: MVC Tourney

Get "one" ticket when you get down there. You will walk in for under $10 and sit almost anywhere you want. I promise.

Congratulations on a successful Hotwire experience. The cool thing about that property is if you dig Washington Avenue you are real close, the hotel also has a Van that if you have enough people they will shuttle you around Downtown. A 5 dollar tip will probably get you guys to the Scottrade Center.

Re: MVC Tourney

Got a hotel downtown on HOtwire. It was a Holiday Inn Select. $53 a night! Its less than a mile away from the Scottrade Center. Now, just gotta get tickets. Jegbomb you said just buy them from scalpers or per session?

Sometimes people are even handing them out for free or are on the ground outside the Scottrade center if their team loses!
