the arena is on campus, its a sweet center they have for athletics. there are not hotels in walking distance really. i always just take a driver from the hotel if you have that or take a cab. its close but not walking close. i have done this trip 2 times and it was tons of fun with many sioux fans in the area. tickets are easy to get outside if need be as well. there are restaraunts around any hotel location as well as well as other establishments. i was gona do this trip again this year but instead my best friend is getting married and the bachelor party is nov 30th, thats cool as the party weekend will be back up north, then i looked at the hockey schedule and i will be parlaying the bach party with a sioux/gopher weekend at the ralph darn
plus i plan on tearing up denver in april anyways
