Zipmeister Posted June 25, 2012 Report Share Posted June 25, 2012 Fans wishing to travel to San Juan, P.R., with the men's basketball team in November can reserve their spot today. View the full article at www.GoZips.com Many here have criticized the athletic department for it's lack of marketing acumen. I believe the article to which the Collector refers demonstrates a step in the correct direction. Please note the package price is not $1,500; it's only $1,499! If they had offered the opportunity to cover the price in just three easy payments I'd swear we had recruited a marketing genius from QVC. In any event congratulations. I think the Zips are capable of beating (or losing to) any team in this tourney. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just did a expedia search for flight and hotel from Cleveland to San Juan from Nov. 14-19 and a package for the same hotel came up at $1,686 per person, not including taxes. Plus, tickets to all three games and the meal with the team weren't included. So, that seems like a decent enough deal ... not a steal that I have to jump on, but a decent value. I don't have an extra $3,000 grand lying around so me and the wife could take a November vacation to Puerto Rico, but if I did, I would probably do this offer. It'll be interesting to see how many people they will get through this offer. But even if fans from Akron don't make the trip, I imagine the Zips will be a crowd favorite down there due to Alex and Carmelo. Edit: Though, just browsing all the offers, there are some that are pretty significantly cheaper at other hotels which are rated just as high as the Condado Plaza Resort.

ziptrumpet87 Posted June 25, 2012 Report Share Posted June 25, 2012 I would recommend the El Convento and DO NOT RENT A CAR - not needed and the streets are very narrow (Old San Juan anyways). La Bombonera is great for breakfast (especially the mallorcas!). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
