Good deal. We can carpool. Or better yet get siouxforce19 to give us a ride.

Copied from USCHO about....

I'm wondering if the U18 tournament might have an effect.

Suburban Extended Stay. Near the airport. Hurry up one room left "efficiency" only $48 a night. Edit: jumps up to $70 when I switch check out dates (Sunday instead of Monday...which also worked out for my flight being about a $100 cheaper leaving Sunday vs Monday) which means if you stay til Monday its basically a free night (based on the savings of so many days)

From what I understand most FF semis usually have a "decent amount of empty seats" (usually upper levels....although purchased probably went unused by people only wanting to watch their team play), add in that (I believe) this year is the first year of separate Thursday game tickets. I wouldn't worry. Worst case scenario I see is paying full price for at the ticket office in the nose bleeds.

There's already a few of us loners. We can find a spot in the corners of Fergus together. BigSkyVikes, you going to be at Fergs?

I don't have much desire to watch the other semifinal game (live), rather be at the pregame party and watch on TV.

Works for me, I'm planning on buying tickets outside the arena after the first semifinal game. The only tickets not currently sold to the semis are the last few rows (6-8) in the upper corners.

With it being separate game tickets this year, there might be a lot of UND fans not buying or selling (skipping) the afternoon game.

If you want to walk around Fergs Live and get a sense of what it will be like there...heres a link to google street view https://www.google.com/maps/@27.9435389,-82.4515897,3a,75y,255.71h,69.41t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sqXV7wKj5N-5VKgVxnwyd1Q!2e0!7i13312!8i6656!6m1!1e1

UND pregame is at Fergs Live. Did we get the best place? Seems to be the closest to the arena.

And in town people?

I'm trying to understand Busch Gardens. Seems to be half amusement park half zoo. Reviews claimed six rides and very long lines (and hour? especially on a friday?) About a $100 bucks just to get in the door ($80 a ticket plus $18 parking).

Haven't you learned anything from SiouxSports! If UND wins Thursday you must watch the game in the same spot, order the same beer, and wear the same clothes, including the same underwear and socks for Saturday.

UND only public school in the Frozen Four.

Because of Spirit? I've never flown with them but have heard bad things (after wondering why it was so cheap), but at $180 round trip nonstop I wasn't going to pass it up.

Leaving at 3:39? We're on the same flight.

In a bit of sad "un" related news. Its the "same" temperature right now in Fargo, ND as it is in Tampa, FL. 67 vs 68 degrees.

Made me find this: good read. http://www.usahockeymagazine.com/article/2012-06/fun-sun-frozen-four It could be worse, we could be buying tickets to Frisco, Texas.

Interesting. I had no idea.

Wiz kahlifa was born in Minot. More people probably know him more than Carson Wentz right now. Born and raised famous North Dakotans are far and few between.

Can we move Frozen Four permanently to south Flordia? Tons of cheap flights available (even if it's a different airports)...warm weather for all us ice hockey fans...lots of hotels, lots of stuff to do. No real home crowd advantage like if it was in Boston or St. Paul. Much better location than Milwaukee or Columbus.

Most overused phrase on Siouxsports: meh.
