I agree! Wish it wasn't the day after Thanksgiving though, I'd have tried to figure out a way to get down there.I am!
Should be a good little tourney. Nice to be near a beach in November for the guys. Will be a good early barometer of where we're at next season.
This is played in a really nice JC gym. Went a few years back, and whole family enjoyed it, even my IU fan father-in-law!I have never been a fan of this tournament (strictly due to the tiny, dark venue that's played in a hotel conference center room), but that is an impressive field!
How could you not like a place called Niceville?

But it is hard to imagine a bad seat when there are only 2,200 of them.Doh! Looked it up and was totally thinking of the "Battle For Atlantis" one, haha. That please is just depressing-looking on TV.
The finals did not look sold out.FYI, the 3rd and 4th round games held in Niceville were sold out last year. Rounds 1 and 2 are held on campus'.
I've got a really good friend who just moved away from Niceville. Apparently he and his family didn't like it.
Niceville is a very common looking small Florida outlying looking area. Anyone that has been to Crestview/Fort Walton Beach, etc...should know what that means. Newer homes mixed with alot of communities that are older and somewhat not kept up in general imo.
The whole area economy is a mixture of tourism and Eglin AFB. So basically, it's an odd combination of retirees, military, and service industry workers. So... Florida.
I just know my friend's wife really hated it there, which was a big reason they moved away.
Lived there 3 years at Eglin....arguably the whitest beaches in the world with heavy rental property market that is packed in the summer. Great winter weather for golfers and good offshore sea fishing. We liked it, but residents there miss the unique offerings of urban cities and that's why some dont enjoy it.The whole area economy is a mixture of tourism and Eglin AFB.
