You’re hoarse from screaming after the epic buzzer-beating, double-overtime wins this week. You’re decked out in a “I’m From Baltimore” T-shirt (even if you’re from out of state). You’ve lined up outside the Xfinity Center to cheer on the Crab Five and women’s basketball team all season long.

Now, as the Terp teams move on to the Sweet Sixteen together for the first time, you’re searching for the perfect perch to take in the action as they face off against the top seeds.
