Live from the Alamo Dome!
Where hopefully the wireless issues have been put to rest.
It's unbelievable how many seats they sold in this place. Essentially this dome is made for football. The court has been placed in the north end zone. Temporary stands have been erected on the south side of the court. But on the east and west sides, they've sold seats in the upper deck ALL THE WAY TO THE OTHER END OF THE DOME.
I'm guess if you're that high up, you actually see over the temporary seats on the south side of the court and down onto the action. Maybe it's like having an apartment that overlooks Wrigley Field.
Based on the number of folks sporting gear around San Antonio, I'd say Kansas came out in force. I estimated they had roughly 40 percent of the fans here. In the dome, it's harder to tell because a) The Bruins fans in their light blue are hard to tell from the UNC fans in light blue (I know it's sacreligious to some but it's true and b) Kansas fans aren't very interested in the first game, for obvious reason.
About to tip. More later.
