    May I ask what hotel you got when putting in the 4th - 7th for your dates?

        ryan-

        I stayed there a couple years ago. Decent place. If I remember correctly, the rooms look into the open, middle area where the pool, dining, lounge area is. You are like 2 blocks from a Metro pickup, so with a small fare, you are about 3-4 minutes from the arena. It would be a longer walk however. The workout area is a couple treadmills and elipticals, but otherwise a solid place. I believe the parking was an open lot that didn't charge...that's huge! $59/night for a good hotel in STL is a good deal.
        The Lord reigns, let the earth be glad; let the distant shores rejoice, clouds and thick darkness surround Him; righteousness and justice are the foundation of His throne. Fire goes before Him, and consumes his foes on every side; His lightning lights up the world; the earth sees and trembles; the mountains melt like wax before the Lord of all the earth. The heavens proclaim His righteousness and all peoples will see His glory.

              Not that this is a reason to go to St. Louis, but if you are there and struggle to find things to do during the tournament, Comedian Ron White will be playing a show on Friday night and Saturday night at the Orpheum Theater Downtown St. Louis of Arch Madness weekend. He is a blast!

                Saw the ad. during the Ind St game about buying a 17.5 lb bag of Purina @ Hy-Vee/Schnucks, & receiving a coupon for tourney tickets. Last year they ran a similar promotion & it was buy the bag of dog food, & get a coupon for 2 tickets for $10. The Hy-Vee in CF wasn't part of it, but the Schnucks near dowtown St Louis was. Kind of a pain to find the store, & then find a manager who knew about it to print the coupon off...but if you want to get in cheap, the coupon was hard to beat.

                  The Valley sold 5,913 all-session tickets before Jan. 1 for the league tournament in March. That's down from 6,624 last year at the same point, with a drop of about 500 tickets at Creighton (1,500 to 1,000) accounting for most of the decrease.

                  Great article on Eglseder as halfway point Surprise POY (and maybe MVC POY).

                      Seriously?

                      There are 25 restaurants and bars within 3 blocks of the team hotel. It is called Laclede's landing. There is 55,000 square feet of casino floor within 4 blocks of the team hotel. If that doesn't do it for you spend all day at the Scottrade watching basketball. Take a tour of Busch Stadium, AB Brewery. There should be enough of things to do. Unless you are Uncle Nitnots from my kids favorite TV show Imagination Movers!

                        I failed to mention going with 19 and 20 year olds so Casino is out. And last year everything seemed to either be closed or under construction.

                          Ouch, 19-20 year olds. I would load up a cooler and hang out in the hotel lobby. Bring a cooler into the Lumiere and hang out around a table. Bring bottles, nobody would know. If I remember right, last year was quite the party at the Lumiere Bar.

                            I started going to the MVC tourney when I was 11 years old. That's a lot of years going under age. Finding something to do with a 20-year old shouldn't be a problem at all. There's always great parties and gatherings at the team's hotel. And Jeg is right -- the Lumiere was hopping every night last year. It's seriously the best weekend of the year... whether you're of legal age or not!
                            "...the Northern Iowa men's basketball team reached the ultimate highs before hitting a devastating low. Unexpected success, followed by unimaginable failure. And they owned it -- all of it -- for the world to see. Like men. Like leaders. Like champions -- in a way no tournament bracket could ever define."

                                The MVC has to be hating Creighton and SIU being down this year. Kinda figured this was gonna happen

                                Also of note, league officials announced this week that early ticket sales for the MVC tournament are down by about 600 from this point last year. The main reason: Creighton's tournament ticket sales have dropped from around 1,550 at this point last year to barely 1,000 this winter.
