San Antonio logistics
Who else is making the trip? Just booked a flight from Chicago (taking the train from Detroit to Chicago to get there) to Austin (Saturday morning), driving from Austin to San Antonio with family friends for the game on Saturday.
Thinking back to the Alamo Bowl in 2005, it seemed everyone had problems getting to San Antonio. That being said, it's a great town. Legitimately rivaled the Rose Bowl in terms of a bowl game atmosphere, outside of the stadium itself. Enjoy the River Walk, go nod-and-walk on at the Alamo, and most of all, Go Blue!
And I have but one upvote to give.

Michigan fans have packed the arenas coast to coast so I expect us to take over the Alamodome as well.
We may not have as big a crowd advantage next Saturday as we might think.
Plus they look like they're from Gryffindor. I honestly can't look at them with their scarves and not see Harry Potter. I mentioned during the game tonight they should've trotted out a team manager in round glasses with a scar on his forehead to guard someone.
I think it's going to feel like a road game.
Then again, their last road game went pretty darn well.
other Texas cities and drive from there..Probably find way cheaper flights into Dallas or Houston Southwest for instance flys into most Texas citys..Houston or Hobby 2 airports...

Outside of downtown you need transport
It was crazy. Even without subs.
Haven't pulled the trigger yet. I am thinking about grabbing a ticket to the Monday final should they advance.

Michigan's only made like 6-8 Final Fours and how often are they going to be in one within driving distance of you? Gotta go if you have the funds ime
I went back in 2004 and they were still using the format where they laid out the court on one side of the stadium and used temporary seating in the middle; the upper deck was far, but fine.
It appears that they're now using the same format where the basketball arena will be in the middle of the football field, running between about the 35 yard lines. I don't know that there will be very many good seats at all.
I can tell you to avoid the last couple of rows of permanent seats in the lower bowl, though. I got those for the regionals one year and they were awful -- the upper deck hangs down and blocks the view. They actually had TVs hanging from the bottom of the upper deck for when you couldn't see.

Kansas and Texas Tech are worry spots. TT is close, so if they make it they'll buy a lot of seats. Kansas fans are bananas, so they'll travel well. If both are eliminated tickets should be plentiful and cheap; if both advance Michigan fans are going to find it tough going, I think.

BULLSHIT. On both accounts.
I REALLY find it hard to believe you work with a TON of people who went to any university, let alone TExas Tech, and that they do not know this is going on.
Sometimes, and yes, I understand this is a message board after all, the bullshit astonishes me still.

you're at a 9, maybe take it down to a 3.

whenever I fly from or to guadalara, I hop the train from Holland to Chicago and take a flight from there Reverse it coming back and for flight and train i stay under 200.
They'll go up a bunch more once the other half of the elite 8 finishes. You need to buy now. They won't ever come down.
