    Omaha road trip questions

    in Men's Hockey

    The Hilton has a shuttle that will drop you off anywhere in the Old Market area.  Get the phone number and they will come pick you up. Just tip a few bucks and the drivers will do anything they can for ya.  Not sure how late they run, but the 6-8 block walk can get a little chilly when the Nebraska wind blows.

    Just a word of advice for those who it is their first time to Magness.  The arena is right off I25 and it is worth getting to the area of the arena before 4pm.  This will spare you sitting in rush hour traffic right before the game.  Rush hour through that stretch of highway is horrible. Also worth finding a different route or even taking the light rail in my opinion.  Looking forward to helping all my fellow Sioux fans blow the roof off of Magness.  Lets get a couple wins boys!  

     

    If anyone needs tickets for Friday, I have a pair for sale in the ticket section of the forum.

    Hello All

     

    I completed a 20 ticket group order for both nights.  I have 10 seats that are available for sale each night.  They are $35 a seat.  That's what I paid with service fees etc. 

     

    I want these tickets to go to Sioux fans!!!!!!!

     

    Section 6 below row 11 both nights.  These tickets are right above the glass so your view will be unobstructed by the glass

     

    Sorry don't remember exact rows.  I will have the tickets in hand next week as they will mail on Monday.  I will update this email then

     

    Other ticket info...

     

    I just spoke with the DU ticket office.  They are running the same ticket mini plan as they did last year so there may not be any individual game tickets for sale.  If there are singles left, they will not go on sale until Mid November.

     

    The lowest row available on the UND Champ CLUB promo through DU is row 25 in section 5 and those will go quick.  There are only 29 rows in that side of the arena.

     

     

    PM me if you are interested in buying tickets.  I can mail them to you or I can meet you in Northern Colorado.

    If any one else is interested. I have 10 from Colorado going and would like to get another 10 so I can do a group sale and get lower row seats. Pm me or respond here. Single game tickets go on sale sept 5 and they will in all likely sell out that day.

    Anyone know if DU is doing there BS ticket policy like they did last year?

    I think what makes road games so great is the Sioux fans who attend are true die hard fans. They didn't just get tickets from their boss and drive 5 minutes over to the Ralph after work on a Friday noght. These road warriors went out of their way to find out when tickets went on sale, most likey found a group of like minded die hards to go with, bought the tickets, booked a hotel and planned their trip to said away game city. The fans that are at the games are outnumbhered, but they are deffinitely not silent. When you go to a road =game, everyone wearing green and white is your friend. You have that special bond knowing that you drove all this way to see your team play.

    I have been to St. Cloud, Minnesota, Duluth, and the Final 5 many times for road games. There were always tons of Sioux fans at the games and then out at the local establishments after. But the best road game ever, and I am sure others would agree, would be the trip last year to Omaha. That Friday night game, the entire end was practically Sioux fans. Old Matress factory that Friday and the next Saturday when the game was delayed was packed!! Standing behind the dugout where the players exited the field after the sweep and hearing THOUSANDS of Sioux fans cheer on the team is something that still give me goosebumps. It is moments like these that bond us as fans.

    I did not go to UND but my brother did and this is where my love for Sioux hockey and the rest of the Grand Forks area came from. I am from Colorado and make it to about 6 series a year. My brother who is mostly in Afghanistan shares season tickets at the Ralph, but someone from my family makes it up there once a month or so during hockey season to see a weekend series. We are lucky to have great friends in Grand Forks that let us take over their house and drink all their Premiums. They were not too sure about my Alabama friend who goes with me to every away series, but they have grown to love him and his hockey knowledge. Each trip I spend too much money in the Sioux shop or at Scheels. My wardrobe consists of too much Sioux gear but I would not change it.

    Over the last few years there has been a different feel in the REA than my first game there. I cannot tell what it is because I am only there for a few series a year. BUT, I have not seen a "Kangas has a mangina" or similar sign in the student section for many years. Where are the students that give so much grief to the other players that there game is affected. Is this a result of REA policy? Is this a result of REA ticket prices? Is this a result of beer prices? I don't know but the entire game day feel has changed. I love going to the REA but the roof does not blow off that place anymore.

    My family and I go to Denver, CC and Omaha if their is an away series there. I wait for September to come around to see when tickets go on sale to these series. I go to the DU ticket office at 6 am decked in Sioux gear to be the first in line. I am on the phone, internet or at the local grocery store to get CC and Omaha tickets when they go on sale. I dealt with the Bullshyt ticket policy at Denver this year and still made it into the building. I don't have the luxury of seeing the Sioux on Midco or driving to the arena. I listen to Tim Hennesey or watch the Webcast that has been just above average this year. I cherish the hockey nights that are on CBSSN so I don't have to deal with the web feed and the "it's on your end" responses.

    I have justified my use of the "SIOUX" name at the end of the national anthem more times than one should have to. I have also been in several more arguments with opposing Sioux fans who want to tells us to "go home to our tractors" or ask where is Grand Forks? or ask me "what is your nickname again?"

    I didn't go to school in GFK but somehow made it on the front of the UND fan guide. The bottom line is, I love Sioux Hockey and the University of North Dakota. I may not be the best most die hard fan, but I am a FIGHTING SIOUX fan!!!

    NORTH DAKOTA @ UMD Bulldogs

    in Men's Hockey

    For UND (and UMD fans for that matter) fans who live in the Rocky Mountain region, Friday's game will be televised on Altitude.

    I was in Duluth a few weeks back for the series against CC. My observation was this: Duluth was the more talented team, however they had some serious defensive zone lapses on Saturday night. Lowly CC carried the play for large stretches of the 3rd period as Duluth got awfully sloppy in their own zone.

    Not seeing this on my Altitude channel in Denver. The Nuggets are on.
