Thats awesome. Hopefully it will be just as fun as last year. It was intresting when Keith Gerhard was the PA announcer during the non-tips games.

Need some info about the tourney.

Might as well ask the local people of Everett.

I am still contemplating coming down for the tournament (from Vancouver)

couple of quick questions.

How much availibility is left for tickets?

What are some good hotels with decent rates to stay at?....i dont wanna spend an arm and a leg for the weekend, so some reasonable accomodation recommendations would be great, within a short distance from the Events Center

Thanks in advance guys/girls, i look forward to hearing some info.

Cheers

Tickets will be easy to get. I think they go on sale to the general public next week. They will post when they go on sale to the public. Season ticket holders had until today to pay for them.

Hotels.....if you want one within a short distance I would suggest the Best Western Cascadia Inn. You could walk it. It's a few blocks. Not sure what the rate is. There is also the Days Inn on North Broadway (not exactly the best part of town) and you can't walk. And the Travellodge just one block from the arena. Out of those three if I was having to pick I would pick the Best Western.

Thanks Kristi

Huge help

I guess i have till next week to make my decision seeing as i couldnt even get tickets right now if i wanted them.

I will make sure i say hi to you this year if i see you at any Giants games, i know i saw you a bunch of times last year and wondered why i saw you so many times, but it makes sense now (with your ticket package with the giants)

Cheers!!
