    Who's going?

    I'm still thinking about it. It is the weekend before Thanksgiving, which works better for me than the Thanksgiving weekend.
    There is no quick or easy way to get to Myrtle Beach from Peoria. American Airlines has a direct, non-stop flight from Peoria to Charlotte, NC, but then it is a 3½ hour drive to Myrtle Beach. AA has connecting flights, but it looks like they all include long layovers, or even an overnight.

    ​Note that the games are actually in Conway, SC, on the campus of Coastal Carolina University, about a 25-30 minute drive from Myrtle Beach.

            I'm planning on going. You'll need to find a driving route that avoids I-40 from Knoxville into Asheville since that is closed. Go through W. VA and take 77-S down to avoid road closures.

              That's the way we are going Phi. We have some friends that live on the route you suggested on the way down so it just so happens we had planned on going that way before the hurricane hit.

                      I purchased the most expensive (probably a waste of money as the place will probably be half filled), but haven't gotten the tickets yet. I'd venture to guess that come game time, everyone will be able to move to center court if they want to! Look forward to seeing you there! I think you travel about as well as anyone, DR1!

                          Right on! Maybe we can get the forum group all in one area!

                            Has the hotel information been updated yet? Does the tournament always use the same one?

                              With less than a month to go until the 2024 Myrtle Beach Invitational, the fan travel information is sparse and outdated.
                              The only hotel that has been listed on the Myrtle Beach Invitational web page is the Sheraton Myrtle Beach Hotel - https://espnevents.com/myrtle-beach-...tional/travel/

                              It is referred to as the "Official Fan Hotel" of the Myrtle Beach Invitational. It looks like a nice, large 4-star hotel located in Myrtle Beach, about 3 blocks from the beach.
                              However, it appears that the website has not been updated since a year ago, so it's possible the hotel could be different for this year's tournament. It is embarrasing that they haven't gotten around to posting reliable updated information for the 2024 event.
                              I don't know which hotel the Bradley team is staying at, and nowhere on the official website does it say which hotel serves as the teams' hotel, or whether the fan hotel is still the Sheraton.
                              Btw, the games are not played in Myrtle Beach. They are played at the HTC Center on the campus of Coastal Carolina University in Conway, SC, which is about a 25 minute drive from the hotel.

                              If you go to the web page to sign up for fan travel information, it has not been updated at all in over a year.
                              It still shows last year's teams and info, but it does allow anyone to sign up for travel updates. Good luck with that. - https://onlocationexp.com/college-sp...tional-tickets
