I've been busy.
I've reserved a bus - $65 return per person, including transfers from hotel to game.

Got a block of 15 Hotel rooms at the same hotel as the team reserved.

Got a block of 10 rooms reserved at slightly cheaper hotel.

Discussing a block of game tickets with LSU Bball operations and U of A. More info later.

Total trip cost for a couple, based on double hotel occupancy at the team hotel is $240, single person $175. The price for the other hotel will make the trip price cheaper, but not sure on the price yet.

It's possible to put up to 2 extra people in a room, but not sure on how much the extra charge will be.

You can also just pay for the bus fare and make your own accommodation arrangements.

I need firm commitments by Dec 20th. Deposits will be required to hold your reservation. If you want to go, but are not sure, I'll put you on a waiting list, with no guarantees of a spot. We already have 17 people committed or highly interested.

Lets do this Bball fans, CJJ, his staff and the team deserve it!!!

Can we drink on the bus?

Unfortunately, this will be a big factor in my decision.

Damn that's awesome. I'd be there if it were a bit cheaper, I'm tight on money right now.

Yes. I just have to let the bus company know ahead of time. They reserve the right to take a damage deposit.

Smoking is not allowed

Understand.
You could always stay at the motel 6. About $46 for a double room. Bring someone to share and bus/hotel is $83 each, plus game tickets. La Quinta Inns (bit better than M6) is $55. Ask Santa.

eta: y'all probably aren't driving through Nola…I would still be interested in the room and ticket if that's plausible?
