I was there for all 4 games and my son (7) was able to join for 3 of them.  It was a great atmosphere, tons of Michigan fans.  It reminded me how great live games are compared to TV.  i was thrilled to share that experience and a love for Michigan with my son - he got lots of practice singing the fight song.  I know that these games and the championship will be a special memory for us to share.  The other thing that was great was the sportsmanship of almost all the Big Ten fans - the overwhelming majority of folks there had school pride and didn't feel the need to tear down anybody else.  

i know you mid-west folks were upset about the tournament being here in DC, but i'm in favor of it being here every 4-5 years.

Maryland resident bringing my 7 year old to his first basketball game - SO glad we have this opportunity.  FWIW - I know several folks from Big Ten schools going to the tournament.  On behalf of the the DC crowd - Thank you Big Ten.

I'm going to go to the tournament - anybody have thoughts on whether or not it makes sense to buy tickets now before they announce the final seeding or wait until after?

Does anybody know if teh tickets allow you in and out of the stadium during the day or if once you're in  you have to stay in for the whole day?
