Wells Fargo Arena

I only are about 95% agreement here.

I'm only 50% sure that I know what you mean.

$70 was a lot of money for the ticket. However, I was 15 rows up and just between the free throw line and the top of the key. Really close to the action, and it was pretty darn exciting! Even though my Carver/H-I ticket is dead center court and 25 rows up, I was a lot closer to the action at WF. The quickness, the physical play, the hand checks, the violence underneath the basket, the speed of the ball when it was passed, were fascinating. I could clearly see the expressions on the faces of the coaches and the players. And, I got to watch Ed H. screw up royally a couple of times!

I made a mini vacation out of the trip. 6 hours to Des Moines from home; 2 nights at the Quality Inn right next to the arena. Attended the Hawkeye Huddle; had two of the best fresh seafood meals in recent memory. Listened on the radio to the Packers beat the Bears on the way home. And, though I will be judged a complete idiot from what I've read above, I stayed and watched the entire Drake/ISU game and really enjoyed it. I love college basketball...some of the very best athletes around.

Will go back next year, God willing and the creek don't rise.

Good for you, Doc, you are really enjoying life.....

Glad you had a good time......

Don't mean to be a Debbie Downer, but I don't believe you can have "Fresh Seafood" in Des Moines. You're over a thousand miles from the ocean, how fresh could it be?

That being said I'm happy you had a nice weekend and wish I could have been there.

Perhaps he meant fresh catfish out of the nearby Des Moines River, sold as fresh seafood???

It's so cute. DSM is like Kansas City's little brother trying to fit into its comically over-sized clothes.

Also, stop naming every "professional" sports team in DSM Iowa this or Iowa that. You're not Iowa.

Don't worry about DSM ghost

 

[GhostofBTT]

Why would I worry about DSM? I live in the Quads. D-Port is like Florence to DSM's Kentucky.

 

[HawkeyeMHA]

There is no such thing as a "loser Drake" fan.

No? What about you though?

I think you have similar experiences with posting from a smartphone.

Really fresh. Go to the website for the Waterfront Seafood Market in West Des Moines and read up on the place; I think the word "fresh" applies. I have no dog in the fight...I just found them on the internet and went there to eat. Thanks for the "nice weekend" thought!

There is also a new Waterfront Seafood Market in Ankeny. They have really good sushi as well. I love that place.

iPhone, small keys. Typo's every now and then if I don't watch closely, not worried enough about it to correct all the time.

If Derp Moyne is so great, WHAR WILL FARRELL????

Yeah, in that last one, he's wearing a Davenport West shirt. Last time someone on TV was wearing a Derp Moyne High School's shirt on TV, they were on teh news walking into a court room.

Advantage: GHOST!

 

[HawkeyeMHA]

Two words... Americana park.

 

[GhostofBTT]

10 words...All of Polk County east of the Derp Moyne River.

 

[HawkeyeMHA]

Oh ghost derp...such a good kid.

Agree, typical administrators with their heads up their aaarses, lets gouge Iowans, $70 for lower seats, give me a break, check out how the big ten teams are doing buying tickets to their football bowl games, nobody is buying, even whisky and nebby are struggling trying to find people to overspend.

Most Bowl game tickets can be bought outside the stadium (probably not Rose Bowl or National Title Game) for 1/2 of what the regular ticket price is. Silly to buy ahead of time. We bought Orange Bowl tickets way under face value, twice.
