If any of you haven't made reservations yet, we were able to get rooms at the Radison Broadview Hotel in Wichita on Priceline for $55 per night.  It is a 3 star hotel (regularly $99 per night). They have a great restaurant and are conveniently located.  It is where our team stayed the last time we played in the NCAA Tournament in Wichita.  Al Capone used to stay there, but it has been totally updated since  :wink:
