The Valkyries pulled off another win tonight and clinched their post season berth. The upside is that they will get at least two more games (first round is best 2/3). The downside is that Chase Auditorium has been booked for a Tennis Championship for 4 (yes, that is FOUR) years and isn’t available. Since four years ago, the Valkyries franchise wasn’t confirmed much less the post season dates…. Oakland isn’t available either (also booked out well in advance) which leaves….. SAP Area. San Jose.
The challenge of San Jose is getting there. BART doesn’t go thru. And from BART there is a bus, but it has a limited run – looks like 2-2:40 each way + limited times of day. Getting home might be an issue. You can get from Berkeley to San Jose via Amtrak ($19 each way). But again. limited times of day travel is available. Driving would take 60-100 minutes and then there is parking. No tolls. the only positive.
All of this is moot. I am headed to Minnesota on the 16th and will be home again on the 21st. Since the playoffs start on the 14th, I just won’t be around (assuming we are the visiting folks for the first game.)
Ah well. I still have a major house clean up to execute. And, really feeling exhausted just thinking about it….
