Due to circumstances beyond my control, I decided to scrap my 2011 Challenge and have a new one for 2011/2012. I am going to try to go to the Final Four in New Orleans! Right now, things are looking pretty good money wise as the ticket books are relatively cheap and my dad has promised to give me about half of what I need to get them. Plus, I will be getting money from day camp and other sources so I should be covered. The only thing is there is a chance that I may not get tickets. With the Final Four, you have to submit an application into a lottery pool of sorts and pay up front. They select applications and those people get tickets. On the bright side, if I don't get tickets, they will refund my money. I'm definitely going to give it a try and, if this doesn't work out, I may either try Stubhub or worst case, pick somewhere else to go and spend the money!
Three things ultimately got me on this kick: two of my friends went to this year's Final Four in Houston, UNC is already the favorite to win it all next year, and my love of college basketball in general. Plus, I've always wanted to go to New Orleans and what better way than to go where great Final Fours have been held before (including UNC's 1982 and 1993 NCAA title runs). Even if Carolina doesn't make it, I would still be excited to go and experience it all first hand. I'll keep you guys posted on what happens with my new challenge!
