Big Ten roll call
- Thread starter hawkeyecrazy
- Start date
7 of us all over the arena…. I’ll be in 203.
I will be there with my wife, dad, sister, and future brother in law. Dad bought tickets not sure on section.
Two people riding/staying with me. One sitting separately. Son and I sitting in 204.
planning on heading over for saturday only...searching for a ticket and heading back to DSM late saturday
Sadly, I just came back from a lengthy vacation so I will be watching this one from the couch in my captains chair. Have fun all, and go Hawks. 8 days seems like forever away!
Heading over with my MtPleasant buddy. Section 114, looks like we're tucked away in a corner
I will be there both days. I'm way more of a basketball guy, but it is so much more fun to go to wrestling meets than basketball games, especially when you have 6-8 mats going at once.

2 more for the cool kids in Section 203
About 25 or so of us going. I do have 4-6 good seats available for face value. Parents and a couple of other family members can't make it.
Tickets are spoken for. Thanks

My wife and I are in 107…her first college tourney.
4 of us in section 105. My wrestling weight as a Junior. I am about 80 pounds from that now. I am starting my cut tomorrow.
My son and I will be a couple of sections over in 109. If you stop over, I may have a high school story or two about a certain ASU coach.
2 of us. Going a couple days early and stopping in Omaha, we figured it might make the time go quicker.
Same. We definitely need to meet after one of the sessions.. listen to how the girls are REALLY enjoying it...
I went with section 305 when they were on pre-sale. Two all-session tickets on the aisle and two nights in a hotel all for under $200 after taxes and fees. That's about as good as it gets no matter what event you're going to these days.
For those bringing your wife for the first time, the B1G tournament is much more wife friendly (or non-hardcore fan in general, I know some wives/wrestling moms much more hardcore than I am) than other wrestling tournaments. My wife really enjoyed going when it was in Minneapolis a few years ago. The break between morning/evening sessions on Saturday is perfect, and there is still time to go out on Saturday night after the wrestling. And we are leaving Friday morning after dropping the kids off at school, so she gets to plan our Friday.

Agree 100%. The Mrs. and myself are doing the same. Nationals isn’t quite for the wives unless she’s a real hardcore fan…. IMHO of course.
2 in section 204. First tournament in person. We had tickets for the NCAAs in Minnesota a couple years ago and that got was cancelled, so pretty excited to get to go to this one so close to home.
Just be sure to keep her entertained. My wife went once to Madison (in the old fieldhouse) and said she'd never go to a tournament again. Since my mom passed, my youngest son is my last hope of company from the family. My sister and b-i-l from NC will still do NCAA with me some (if we can ever afford tickets again) but the rest of my family has stopped going to tournaments with me. When my youngest finally finishes school, and heads overseas, I'll be on my own for B1Gs every year. Maybe I need to rejoin the H.A.W.K. club and ride the bus, but they haven't always been doing trips in recent years by my understanding. Plus, I like to pick where I go between and after sessions. Maybe I'll talk some buddy into going every year. I have one going with me and my son this year.
Looking forward to seeing lots of Hawk fans in Lincoln. Can't decide if I want to wear my TNTWRESTLE shirt to first session. When I wear it, no one ever stops and says hi, and I need to find a lucky shirt for session 1.

I took her to Fargo and she didn't like it other than being able to be around family. Too many mats, too much going on. TBH, I didn't like it much either in person.
She did, however, like the state tournament last week. I think the B1G will keep her engaged...she has followed these guys for awhile, knows their names, met a few of them; that plus the smaller number of mats should make it easier.
