This was my first time and I can't believe it went down like it did. We booked the hotel for the championship series back in March. Had a vacation planned with the kids and I told the wife if we made the championship we were heading to Omaha Friday morning. Kids went back to Denham with the in-laws. Ended up being 12 of us in our group. We got there Friday about 6 and the party started. Stood in line at the ticket office Saturday and Sunday for SRO and it was worth every minute. I still find myself not believing how it all went down. Almost surreal feeling that I'm so glad was my first trip.

First time for me also. As soon as I sat down for game 1, I was immediately annoyed at myself for never going in the past.
Had an amazing time also. Booked a hotel after the win over Wake. Drove up from Dallas with my dad. Bought tickets day of game each day. Always had great seats. Perfect weather. And seeing us win it all. Just incredible.

Me. Flew from Georgia on Friday to witness the championship series. Spur of the moment trip, but worth every penny.

First timer.
Just moved to Minneapolis in January and turns out it's only a 5+ hour drive. After the game Thursday I told my GF to pack her bags.

I was there in 2017. My son is 9 and it was his first. He is obviously the lucky charm and will return every time we go back to secure victory for LSU.

Great first trip for Ell Jr. Memory that will last a lifetime.

My first trip. Brought my wife, daughter and granddaughter. We have watched just about every pitch of every game this year and I promised both of them we would go if we made the Championship finals. (We have gone to every football NC as well). Flew in Saturday and stayed for the three games and had an absolute blast. So happy we went.

First for me. Booked an airbnb Thursday prior to Wake game 3, that I could cancel by 3pm Friday.
As soon as we won against wake I started making travel plans. Left at 2am Saturday morning for Game 1. It was an awesome experience that I will never forget.

My father and I were both first timers. Went up both weekends!
Convinced him to go after we beat Kentucky and quickly booked whatever hotel room we could and got tickets. The amount of LSU fans everywhere brought him back to his LSU days. Special place and will 100% be back!

First time for me ... Saw Skenes against Tenn Saturday and Floyd against the horrible umpire on Monday ... couldn't stay for the rest of the games. Great time.

So you know you have to go every time they make it now, right? It's supersitition..LOL. Me and my Hog fan son (I am of course LSU) went last year for the first time. Even though LSU wasn't in it, I saw plenty there, and of course I had on my LSU polo and cap. Every Tiger fan I saw said "next year"! As it happened, I couldn't make it this year. A little thing called my daughter's wedding was Saturday night. But we watched the game at the reception...LOL

First time going for the CWS, hopefully not the last time. But hopefully the last time I have to drive it bc that shite was brutal on the way back with a killer hangover.

Agreed! That drive was BRUTAL on Tuesday.

First time for the wife and I. We live in a RV full time. In late March we scheduled a visit to wife's sister in Kansas City leaving 4 days before the start of CWS. After looking at map it was wow Omaha is close, so we booked a rv park for the duration.
I was in row 7 in the section between home and 1st when Tre Morgans made the PLAY. It was right in front of me.
A play I will never forget.

I'm sure the kids would've loved to go to Omaha.

First trip for us. We drove from Nola on Friday, stayed for Saturday and Sunday. Drove back after the game Sunday to be home for first pitch Monday. I regret not doing a better job with tickets. We didn't see any if necessary game tickets when we bought for Saturday and Sunday. By the time we realized they were available it was going to cost $2k to get our same seats for the Monday game. Big failure on my part but the kids had a blast. We will be headed back again soon.

So brutal it became comical. Had a badass hangover, couldn’t get off the road quick enough half the time, so I’m sure some people saw me hanging out the window throwing up rolling down the interstate.

I'm sure they would have loved it too, but knowing my kids (8,6,4) I wanted to watch the game and not be getting Dippin dots and snowballs every other inning.
