I'm stoked about the Dec. 21 game at Staples vs. Utah.
I make day trips to downtown L.A. frequently and always have a great time.
If I may, here are some recommendations:
* Leave your car at home. Take the train. It's about $30/$40 each way. Union Station is about 2 mi. from the Staples Center. It's a quick Uber ride.
* Book a hotel room nearby. The JW Marriott is great. Rooms are $200 to $250/night last time I checked. You can walk across the plaza to Staples. Also a ton of other hotels in the immediate vicinity.
* Check out The Broad Museum. Fantastic new modern art museum. You can either walk or Uber. Well worth the effort.
* Make a trip to Grand Central Market. Fabulous selection of some of the best eats L.A. has to offer.
* Book a table at Beval, which was voted the No. 1 restaurant in L.A. It features innovative twists on Mediterranean cuisine and is run by an Israeli couple. Moderately priced. About a 5 min. Uber ride away.
* LACMA and the La Brea Tar Pits are always fun. About a 10 min. Uber ride.
* Check out some rooftop bars and hangouts. The historic Ace Hotel has a great one, as does the Standard Hotel. Perch is also outstanding. All are in the downtown area.
Now, onto my ticket question:
* I initially went to buy tix on Goaztecs.com, but the tix were $115 each and no seat numbers or sections were given. I think you're supposed to buy a ticket and they'll pick the seating for you in the Aztec section, which I'm not even sure where that is. Very confusing. Anyone have the details?
* Unwilling to go with the grab bag approach, I was going to buy a ticket on the lower level near center court about 10 rows up. Those tix were $150 each. But then I saw that center court tix another 10 rows higher on the second level were $62 each, so I purchased those instead.
* What are the options for reselling tix for the late game, LSU vs. USC? Is that possible? I'd like to know.

Colorado St. Is the most important game as of this day. Plus it is the league opener on their court. You don't think that Colo. St is going to be amped to give us our first loss? In addition the game is at altitude. Don't start counting your chickens. Not smart to look past league foes.

Not understanding the shade towards LTB. He's just providing good food/entertainment ideas and asking questions about tix for an upcoming road trip game.

Silly. We are not on the team. We can look ahead all we want. Its fun. The players cannot. That guy was just giving good info about Utah game. Colorado St. Is the most important game as of this day. Plus it is the league opener on their court. You don't think that Colo. St is going to be amped to give us our first loss? In addition the game is at altitude. Don't start counting your chickens.

Lose any of the next 5 games and most of the good work so far could be wasted . How does Dutcher and the team handle the good start . Both teams go onto MW 0-0 . Playing at CSU has never been easy . WE have also had some games where we have come out flat .

WE have also had some games where we have come out flat . Very unlikely. The Aztecs have won 10 of the last 14 at Moby, and this team shows no signs of letting up. If we can handle Luca Brasi, we can handle his doppleganger Carvacho. Are the Aztecs likely to drop one they "shouldn't"? Of course, almost every team does (Duke and Kentucky already have). Could it be CSU? Sure, but no need to sound the gloom and doom alarms. |

Bought tickets for my son and me last week through the Aztec ticket office. Section 110 Row 15 I believe. Also AMTRAK tickets from Solana Beach which saves time rather than from downtown station....Can't wait.

Also AMTRAK tickets from Solana Beach which saves time rather than from downtown station....Can't wait. Thanks. Yes. It's always better to leave from Solana Beach. The train from downtown to Solana takes way longer than it should due to the slow wind through Rose Canyon/Sorrento Valley, not to mention the now-collapsing bluff near Del Mar. And thanks for the info regarding tix. It was completely unclear on the Goaztecs.com site where the tix were located. They might want to look into that. As for the other posters warning about not counting chickens, don't worry, I'm not. Yes, I'm aware that there are upcoming important MGC games. But one does not generally roll out of bed in the morning and decide to make a road trip. Takes some planning, especially if you want to have some ancillary fun before/after the game. Just trying to help. That is all. Carry on. |

Very convenient, easy stops, no traffic woes or paying for $50 parking spots. Oldie Out |

Picked up tickets today in section 110, row 12 via the SDSU Ticket office. If you go through the SDSU ticket office and have season tickets to basketball, you won’t pay a handling fee.
Now to get my Amtrak tix

Just buy from Stubhub I saw tickets for as low as $30. Even great seats were much cheaper than buying through SDSU.

Need to check if Clippers game day before or after the Aztec game. Make it a two day trip. Can’t go to LA and not stop by to say hello to Kawhi. Just wouldn’t be right.

If you plan on staying in LA, you can stay for the late game and root against U$C. Tickets to the Aztec game actually cover both games. We are the first game and U$C plays LSU after us. |
