many Hawaiians from those Boyd charters rolling bones at the Cal &
Fremont over the years.

Any tickets available for the game? I wouldn't mind seeing that. I've
gone to many Runnin' Rabble basketball games when out there for the
Super Bowl.

There are tix for $33 plus service charges.

That one time I went with my dad, I bought cheaper tix thru Stubhub,
but that was for a late-season game when a lot of tickets were going
begging.

If you go, parking is in a big open lot on the south side of the
stadium.
