I took my kids to the second round games in Jacksonville (March break and all). We got lucky, both games wound up being pretty great. Maryland was down 14 at one point and took it to a last shot. Kentucky game was back and forth, and Fletcher Magee was pushing to score. It was a lot of fun to watch. My son (10 years old) loved it and was riveted.
I've been to one regional in Syracuse and one first/second round in Tampa. Lines up for Florida games as we usually take a cruise afterwards.
I'd highly recommend people try it out. This year's games have been pretty lousy, so we got lucky. The experience in the arena is a lot of fun. Some dude in a Duke jersey on the video screen got booed (as he should have been). The atmosphere outside is fun too. Lots of activities to keep busy before the game. The bands playing are a lot of fun, and no stupid national anthem to waste everyone's time.

They showed a guy during the Gonzaga game who was a perfect 48 of 48 at the start of the night. He is a neuro-psychologist.
Odds of doing that were 1 in 7 quintillion.
That is
1 in 7,000,000,000,000,0000,000
I felt better about myself after looking that up.
This is hands down the best bracket I have ever made. It is also the bracket I spent the least amount of time studying for and actually making. I am just going to pretend that it is not just a fluke.
Well Auburn nearly had a monumental collapse in round one, but they certainly have turned in two great performances since. I would say this is over, but we've seen enough of these games where a team struggles with the press or making free throws to close out a game.

I've been pretty happy with my bracket this year but the wheels may have fallen off with Tennessee, North Carolina (my finalist pick) and Michigan losing. Still a fun run, love this tournament.
