Just booked my flights/hotel and got my tickets for the game. Airfare is speeeeeendy right now and was actually considering flying into Cincinnati or Chicago and renting a car to drive over, but that wasn't any cheaper.

Forgot they had restrictions when flying in there, glad I didn't end up doing that. Got everything booked to Indianapolis and am all set already though. |

Airfare is speeeeeendy right now and was actually considering flying into Cincinnati or Chicago and renting a car to drive over, but that wasn't any cheaper. I got on my favorite airline website and did the same thing after I found out you can get tickets to the games. Like you I considered ORD, CVG and even STL and MCI along with Columbus and Louisville. The cheapest one included a redeye to Chicago (ugh!) and looked into flying out of SeaTac and Eugene as well as PDX of course. Still have not pulled the trigger since my wife did not seem all that enthused. But honey.....we've had BOTH of our Pfizer shots! I'll bug her again today! To show you lengths we will go sometimes: In 2018 we flew in ORD and drove to Omaha for the CWS and then we drove back through Chicago area on our way to Indianapolis from Omaha so we could watch the National Club Volleyball Championships that our granddaughter was playing in for her Coast team (14 year old bracket) which is based out of San Diego (La Jolla). Getting from ORD to Indianapolis is not fun during rush hours! We ended up taking weird secondary roads to avoid the traffic. In 2016 we flew into Kansas City (MCI) and drove to Indy for the NCAA WBB finals where we promptly lost to UConn! |

How true. Anyone who complains about traffic in Oregon has never been on the Dan Ryan or Eisenhower freeways at the wrong time.

Flew from PDX to Omaha through ORD on the redeye to watch both MSU games. Then had to be in Lima Peru (through Miami). I would have stayed longer but I wanted to watch more baseball if possible. Left after 24 hours back through DFW to Omaha. The first game was rained out and I didn't miss a pitch. |

We drove like crazy to just barely get to Omaha for that rainout. I actually enjoyed that wall of water that came through the standards of the Ameritrade sign......had never seen anything as spectacular as that except maybe for the tornado we survived outside of Lincoln one year before that in our rental minivan. |
