So who is planning on going to the Big 12 Basketball Tournament?

[Sooner24]

I have rooms at the Renaissance and plan to watch mens and womens basketball for 4 straight days.

[Sooner24]

I forgot it's just basketball.

[OSUAggie]

Me.

[Jimminy Crimson]

I'll be there!

Sooner24, how long have you had those Renaissance reservations? That's a great location for this. Some friends and I go to all the Big 12 basketball tournaments (and used to attend the Big 8 as well). It's always a great trip filled with wall to wall basketball and we watch every single game. We all have friends and/or family in OKC and one of us lives there (north OKC), but we decided to go ahead and get some rooms so we wouldn't have to mess with getting around every day. But...we waited too long to make reservations and there just aren't any close rooms left.

Do you know if they will allow beer sales at the Ford Center for this year's tournament? There was no beer at the American Airlines Arena in Dallas (except for the club level) for the first time. I don't know if it was a decision by the arena or a mandate by the Big 12.

Arena staff @ AAC last year said it was "NCAA rules"... They sold beer at the All-College, FWIW.

I made the reservations last May.

I have only missed three Big 8/12 Tournaments since the 1984 tournament. We not only go to the mens games but the womens too.

There will be NO beer sales at the Big 12 tournament. The 2005 tournament in Kemper was the last time that beer was to be sold at any Big 12 sponsored event.

Impressive, grasshopper! That is a ton o' ballgames. I think OKC is going to support this really well.

That sucks about the beer sales. Of all the sporting tournaments I've been to, the crowds at the Big 8/12 basketball tourneys have been the most civil. People enjoy being there and taking in the atmosphere. I just don't think drinking added anything bad to it. The Bricktown businesses will love the rule though...

I have tix to the women's games.

[AllAboutThe'O']

I'm planning to be there that weekend for the state basketball tournaments; but if we have any local teams involved, I'll be watching them. When I'm not, I'm going to try to catch a Big XII game or two.

[Sooner24]

Anyone else planning on going? This is going to be a fun weekend even if OU makes an early exit.

[soonerboomer93]

I'll be there in spirit (if that counts for anything, but dual titles would be a nice b-day gift)

Channel that **** offedness into performance, grasshopper, and you will the tournament.

I would guess around 3,000 or so but I have not heard. That's usually what the first day is like everywhere when you have the bottom eight playing mens and womens.

[SoonerStud615]

I'll be there on Thursday

[Sooner Born Sooner Bred]

So who all is headed out this evening to see Courtney, et al?
