2019 NCAA Final Four Weekend

What a fun weekend! Erik, Kyle and Tim had the opportunity to attend the 2019 NCAA Men's Final Four in Minneapolis and did our best to enjoy the entire experience. This definitely was a bucket list item. Tim had attended opening round games, Sweet 16 and Elite 8 games but never Final Four. This was awesome! Kudos to Minneapolis for hosting a fun, clean, organized event!

We thought the large NCAA bracket on the street corner was very cool!

We started Saturday by walking around the downtown activities which included ESPN live shows and interviews with people like Coach Calipari of Kentucky.

Admittedly we hoped to see Charles Barkley up close and went to the CBS Network location but alas....he was not there...

But we did track him down in pre-game. The CBS show was actually staged almost between us and the court!

This was a photo from close to our seats. We got into US Bank Stadium about 2 hours before gametime and walked around the entire venue including 2nd and 3rd levels just to check it all out. BTW...third level seats on the side of the court were actually decent seats.

Below is actually a shot from our seats without any zoom.

The gang that we went with hung out in the Hyundai Club and watched the game from there.

I wish this was my view of Kyle Guy making the three free throws to win the game over Auburn but no we were standing behind the seats in the Hyundai Club for the big ending.
