Not bad side court, section 316. Looking to tick this off the bucket list. Anyone else go into the lottery for the Final Four in the Alamodome?
 
Not this year, but went to the Final Four in San Antonio in 1998. Fun city and the seats aren't awful for a dome. Much better than the Superdome as far as not being a mile from the court.

Has the lottery winners been selected already? I won the lottery 19 year ago but I never receive any information about it anymore. How can I get back onto the mailing list.
 
The FF was on my bucket list, too. I attended it in St. Louis in 2005. The semifinal games were awful. Illinois smoked Louisville and UNC clobbered Michigan State. The championship game was a dandy, though. Illinois' Luther Head nailed a three-pointer with about two minutes remaining to tie the game, 70-70. UNC scored the final five points to pull out a 75-70 victory.

I remember reading that it may be the only time NCAA title game tix were scalped for more money than semifinal tix. I can vouch for that. My brother and I were offered 400 bucks each for our crappy Monday night tix in the upper deck. I think the entire state of Illinois was in St. Louis...lol. Tens of thousands of Illini fans from nearby Illinois flocked to the city without tickets. If they couldn't get in the dome, they wanted to at least be in the area to celebrate if their beloved Illini won the championship.

The lottery is normally open between April and the end of May. Its an easy google. Lottery winners are notified at the befinning of September and seat allocation in November.

Seats for the three games are $210 per seat. Not bad if you look at is as $70 game or $105 per day. Currently upper deckersmfor the monday game are already listed at $190 and up.

Looking forward to going to San Antonio
 
I love San Antonio. The year I won tickets was 1999 and the Final 4 was at St. Petersburg. I received the notice that I won in the middle of August. I must remember to google for the lottery at the beginning of April. Thank you for the information.
