Assuming you don't go for the whole thing…at what point do you start looking at plane tickets and rooms?
Right now we are only guaranteed two games. Saturday and Monday. Now if we win Saturday then we will be there for Wednesday. Just looked at the bracket and if we win the first two we will be there Wednesday.
EDIT: If we win one lose one, then we play on Tuesday. They have changed the days that you would be playing from what it was a few years ago.
In 2021, I did not go the for the first two games. After we beat Vanderbilt in the 1-0 game, about a day later I said I am going because I thought we were going to be in the finals. Booked my flight and hotel and worked on getting tickets with another member here on Wednesday confident we would be playing then the NCAA screws us on Friday night(Saturday morning) and had to cancel.
As far as hotels, you might want to look at Council Bluffs, Iowa which is right across the river from Omaha. There is at least one casino there(maybe more) and that was actually where I was going to stay because I had complementary rooms at Harrah's in Council Bluffs.
So my recommendation is it might be best to go this weekend if you are going. 2 game guarantee and that possibly could be gone by Monday.
