Dang...was really hoping for KC. St. Louis just sucks as a city.

...unless you're from St Louis, then its the greatest city ever. Just ask anyone from there, they'll tell ya.

I was hoping for Chicago. St Louis sucks. I would take des moines over st louis.

(on second thought, maybe not)

I was personally hoping they take advantage of the opportunity to split between KC and STL.

I've LOVED going to St. Louis for many, many years for the tourney. But then again, I'm getting old ... right J.C.?

Went to the MVC tourney for the first time last year. St. Louis was ok...but it didn't seem like there was much around the arena for food and drinks.

Yes you are definitely older than dirt. You should be ready to hang it up soon?

J.C. - As of this morning, 330 days until retirement. Trust me, you'll know when it's getting close. And yes, there WILL be a Game Watch every game day in central Florida beginning next October.

Really? Within walking distance of the center? We walked to one bar that was about a mile away. The walk was a little scary too :-)

That's true for the immediate area around Kiel/Savvis/Scottrade/whateveritisnext, but if you have transportation you can head north to Washington Ave., east to Lacledes Landing, or south to Soulard. Gotta be willing to do some exploring.

We stayed at the team hotel, I don't remember the hotel name, for the tournament and walked over to the Landing. It was an easy walk and there are several bars.

We did walk up to Washington Ave. and went to Flannery's Irish Pub. That was pretty sweet.

We stayed out by the airport and rode the metro in. Next time I think we'll try to stay downtown.

Anyone who doesn't think St. Louis is a good time why don't you spend some time with ole' jegbomb next March.

I applaud this move and would have been extremely dissapointed if the tournament had moved. STAY DOWNTOWN AND DON'T BE AFRAID TO PAY FIVE BUCKS FOR A CAB!!!
