Having been reminded by this morning's email from the NCAA that Frozen Four ticket purchasing starts very shortly, I went to Marriott.com to see if their downtown Pittsburgh properties still have availability for next April. Unsurprisingly, my search turned up availability only at the airport and further out, ten miles away from the arena. But having already checked Google Maps to see what hotels were near the arena, I noticed that even after I selected "All Hotels" instead of "Available Hotels" on the Marriott.com search, it wasn't showing me the Courtyard Downtown. So out of curiosity, I went directly to that hotel's page (https://www.marriott.com/hotels/travel/pitcy-courtyard-pittsburgh-downtown/) and repeated my search - and came up with availability, including king rooms, two-queen rooms, and king suites. The prices aren't exactly cheap, but they're not out of line with downtown metro hotels, and it is a half mile from the arena for Frozen Four weekend. dss28 and I now have a room.
Just thought y'all might want the tip.

And now, so do I, though I may poke around for cheaper options between now and then.
