We didn’t know that the Final Four was going to be played in San Antonio when we booked our trip. I really don’t know anything about college basketball. Anyway, we found out that there was an event called the Final Four Friday – Team Practice. The best part was that it was free.
Once they opened the doors at The Alamodome, We were fortunate to grab a couple of seats about five rows from the court. We spent the next four hours watching UCLA, Kansas, Memphis and North Carolina. The Kansas practice ended on a downer when Rodrick Stewart shattered his knee when he fell while attempting a dunk.
After the practice, we headed over to the Rivercenter Mall and made the short walk to The Alamo to get some more pictures. We walked along the River Walk and decided to have dinner at The County Line with Dennis Miller. We didn’t actually have dinner with Dennis Miller but he was a few tables away from us.
The River Walk had designated certain restaurants as Final Four fan gathering restaurants. It was a lot of fun to see all of the fans. Whenever a bunch would walk by, all of a sudden there was alot of shouting.
We read that there were going to be fireworks but we found out that they were not going to be fired off until midnight. Too late for us. We decided to head back to the hotel and start packing our bags. Sigh.
