I will go, but would love to split the cost of a rental and hotel with people

Should be okay I would think, guessing with it being on the west coast they will start the games later in the day but you never know with the NCAA.

Games are at 6:00 and 8:30

They just said on the post game radio show that we are playing 6pm Pacific time.

I believe flying into Oakland is actually closer to Berkley than San Fran is.

Do your self a favor and stay in sf though. Just take the BART to Berkley for the games it's a breeze

BART - Bay Area Rapid Transit

Yep. They have a airbart bus you get on at the airport and that takes to bart station. Bout a 30min ride to downtown SF.

We did this for the DMB show at the Greek last summer was easy and a great time.

Agreed on both accounts. SF is infinitely cooler than Oakland. BART is super easy to navigate and inexpensive transportation.

Whatever you do, DO NOT fly into SFO and stay near the airport. That will be the quickest way to ruin your trip by being super far away from everything you'll want to do the entire weekend. I know a lot of people make this mistake because it looks close on a map, but it takes forever to get to the city and even more time to get to Berkeley.

If you're looking for a great hotel deal, try the Le Meridien in the Financial District. http://www.starwoodhotels.com/lemeridien/property/overview/index.html?propertyID=1957
Centrally located and close to a lot of attractions in SF (the Wharf, Union Square, Embarcadero, etc). If you go on Hotwire, it's the only 4.5 Star hotel in the Embarcadero area ($137 per night which is super cheap for SF). It's also a quick BART ride and a few block walk coming from either airport.

Kind of. You need to catch a bus from the Oakland airport to a nearby BART station.

Please be aware though that BART doesn't run 24 hours. Check the schedules.

If you go out you have to stop by and eat at Skates On The Bay. Their Mohitos are also excellent :smile:. The view is incredible if you can get a window seat.
