NAIA Men's Basketball Tournament in KC
My dad used to pull me out of school and we'd go down to Municipal Auditorium and watch the day session, and sometimes stay for the night session. Up to 8 games in a single day! Hey guys: If you have spring fever real bad, and want to spend a day playing hooky, it’s time once again for the NAIA small college (and I mean Small College) national basketball tourney. Me and my pals usually go on Friday, because by Friday, all the teams left have won at least one game. Friday we usually stay to see two or three games and it costs around (if memory serves) $15 or $20 bucks for a day pass. It’s still downtown at Municipal Auditorium. This year its on Friday March 20th. My crew usually shows up around 9 or so, stays until around 2 then go somewhere and get a late lunch and drink a lot. The players are shorter and slower than NCAA guys, the cheerleaders are fat and ugly, and the mascots are God Awful. But its single elimination so the teams play their asses off. It’s a hoot. And it sure beats working on Friday. Anybody going this year?
