The Maryland men's basketball team won in thrilling fashion against the No. 12 seed Colorado State Rams in the second round of the NCAA Tournament. With their season hanging in the balance, freshman phenom Derik Queen put the team on his shoulders and hit a double-clutch game-winner just as time expired to lift his team the victory.
Now, the Terrapins will face the No. 1 seed Florida Gators in the Sweet 16 as they fight to keep their Championship hopes alive. The winner of this game will advance to the West Region Championship and face off against the winner of No. 10 seed Arkansas and No. 3 seed Texas Tech.
All of the action for the region will take place at the Chase Center in San Francisco, California, which is the home of the NBA's Golden State Warriors. While many of the Terrapins' faithful are sure to be in attendance, buying tickets for the game will not be a cheap endeavor.
How much does it cost to attend Maryland vs. Florida in the Sweet 16?
The get-in price for the NCAA Tournament Regional Semifinal between No. 4 Maryland and No. 1 Florida is $139, according to Ticketmaster. The most expensive seats are just north of $5,000 per ticket, which would place you right behind the Maryland bench in the lower bowl.
Tickets in the upper bowl are anywhere from $139 to around $300, depending on how close you are to halfcourt. In the lower bowl, tickets are anywhere from $500 to $2,500, and sitting on or near the court will cost even more than that.
If you want tickets at halfcourt, the cheapest you'll find is around $300 in the upper bowl, with the lower bowl costing between $1,500 and $2,500, and seats on the floor costing over $5,000. For tickets in the corners or on the baseline, you can score some in the upper bowl for around $150, but that price increases to around $1,000 for the lower bowl and roughly $1,800 for seats on the court.
Should Maryland pull off the upset against the Florida Gators, the tickets would only get more expensive in the Elite 8. But if the Terrapins keep inching closer to a National Championship, then it is money well spent.
