Pre-game Pep Rally?

[VAISUFAN]

I know in NY at the sweet sixteen, everyone gathered at the team hotel to see the guys off. It was so packed, the hotel management tried to clear the building because of a fire code. Does anyone know if people are gathering at the team hotel or other place before the game in Chicago?

I did not see a thread on this but if has been discussed please delete.
