Anyone else having trouble buying tickets online? I keep getting the "Another fan bought those tickets" message, then it moves me to another row in the same price and it keeps happening over and over.
I was having that problem when trying to buy weekend tickets, now that the single day seats are on sale. They show open, but someone has bought Friday night's seats so it fails when you try to buy the weekend. You can just keep searching until one hits (like I did), or buy tickets for each day separately.

Does Champions Club get a ticket allotment for this tourney? I don't see an email from them yet.

So downtown has the late night bar scene cornered on Friday and Saturday nights (during the school year).....don't see alot of bikes that time of night and people aren't walking from campus to get there......so why the need for more bike Lanes and bumpouts? But I'll give you standing at any downtown bar and counting people during an entire week. Then I'll stand outside BWW that same week and see which place does more business. Not saying downtown shouldn't exist, but it also shouldn't get a disproportionate amount of the resources since a week involves more than just a couple hours two nights a week.
Not sure about your hang up with bikes? Having an area that is unfriendly to walking and bikes, then saying only a few people are walking or biking there, doesn't do much to project how it would be used once it becomes more accommodating to the activity. If anything, the fact anyone is on a bike in downtown, in it's current condition, would be a good indicator that it would be used a lot more. There's a trail along the greenway, sure, but try riding a block or 2 away from it. Scary.

You stand downtown by Demers and count the number of people on their bikes on any given day, especially in the winter, and I will stand by a restaurant/bar on any other non-downtown road in Grand Forks counting the number of cars I see on the same day......my 10-1 estimate is conservative.
Shouldn't you be counting bikes? Or at least I should count cars? People go downtown by many methods...
How about this: You stand in the parking lot at Ruby Tuesday's on 32nd at 11:00 PM on a Friday and count the number of people who enter their doors before midnight, while I stand in front of (insert any bar in downtown here, I won't even cherry-pick) and count how many people enter that establishment in the same hour. Should be 1/10 as many as you, right? I mean 10 times as many people avoid downtown as go there... Or, maybe, people do go downtown and do things, but you just aren't there to see them?

Not sure about most but there is definitely no shortage of semis plowing down Demers during harvest season.
Complicated last season by the construction on the bridge, I'd imagine? Honestly, I don't take Gateway enough to remember when that wrapped up, or if it's even done now...

Exciting start to the second period last night - 4 goals in 3:51 of ice time!
This team is so much better at home - imagine meeting Vegas in the playoffs? Obviously a 7 game series since each team only wins their home games

For every person that wants to go downtown there are 10 that don't want to deal with it....in Fargo and Grand Forks. I'm not saying no one enjoys the crammed in feel of it, but it's niche......a small but vocal minority of a niche. All of Fargo has grown....not just downtown.....and strip out the handouts and it would be interesting to see if downtown Fargo looks the way it does. The same urbanists that always want to point out "wasted" space in suburban areas.....never want to point to the empty bike racks....bike paths....and pedestrian sidewalks when it is below zero and snowy.
ah, the ol' "I don't do it, so no one does" argument. Do we use the standard 3x3 counter? Meaning the numbers would actually be 1x3=3 for and 10/3=3.33 against, a dead heat.
15 hours ago, dmksioux said:Not to get into the debate about the curb cut outs because I agree that they probably aren’t needed downtown. But as someone who uses the greenway, year round, you might be surprised as to how much use it gets by bicycle riders, walkers, skier's and runners in the winters. I run in the early morning and often am not the only person out there. Also see plenty of footprints/bike tracks after newly fallen snow. Both GF and especially EGF do a great job of keeping the bike paths clear during the winter, which is much appreciated.
But this can't be... see above, 90% of people avoid it completely :/
14 hours ago, dmksioux said:The freezeway is a whole other story. To me, they have a huge freezeway with the river. Just groom a nice path on there once the ice is thick enough instead of trying to turn the greenway into a "freezeway."
Also, they had all types of issues with setting up the freezeway. It ended up breaking and spilling the water all over the bike paths, which in turn became a skating rink themselves. Huge waste of money in my opininon.
Guessing the big issue is the instability of river ice, and the issue of monitoring it. Winnipeg must have quite the setup to make sure no one goes through the ice on the river? Flowing water can just make for such different ice conditions in such short order*.
*grew up on the lakes in MN and had to deal with changing ice conditions near inlets every winter and spring

Friend had to cancel, so I have a pair of seats for Saturday in section 301. $70 for the pair. Great view on the blue line at end Sioux shoot twice. Call/text 701-three six one - twenty-2 eighteen. Currently in Fargo, but heading up to the game tonight, so several options to exchange.

One apiece. Parise and Seeler
Yup, the Wilds shipped off Reilly. I was afraid we'd get round two of ol' flat foot (Vanek) when he was available this trade deadline, but happy to see him shipped somewhere else.
Not a goofer, but I'm still not sure why the Wilds sent Stewart packing, though.

I don't get all the ink cops on here? This is a message board. As one example, the GF Herald has it's share of ink errors, probably not worth the effort to triple proof everything?
Let auto correct, spell check, grammar correction, calculators, internet, texts, spread sheets, scanners, emails, fax machines, computers, cell phones, clouds, printers, cameras, and etc. help you get you through the day and then go enjoy the ball game?
Just because you're not in on the joke...
I tend to let it all slide, but like to pick on an "ink cop" when one makes an incorrect correction (MM, in this case). BTW, Ink Cop will now replace Grammar Nazi in my vocabulary, so thanks for that.

Oh, of course. I trust Bubbs to read Hoff and for Hoff to read himself and make the best choice. Maybe sit him for Friday and play him Saturday after some rest? The adrenaline may be a good thing, too. We'll see.
14 minutes ago, Godsmack said:Or, dress Hoff and put him on the fourth line as well as tactically use him for certain faceoff situations.
I think you guys have hit the two most likely scenarios. If you did put him on the forth line Friday, you'd get a pretty good idea of what to do with him Saturday.

With the season being disappointing, some "doom and gloom" is to be expected. That being said, I think people should take a step back and not judge kids that haven't even set foot on campus. We won't know what they are or aren't until they are here and playing.
For this season, sure. But this thread is about the kids we've got coming up. It would be nice for this to be the one place to find at least a little optimism!

Wild "leads?" Should be Wild "lead."
OCD.
Want to try again? The press release uses "Wild" in singular form throughout. With that in mind, read it with an "a" in front: "A Wild leads" would be correct.

Randklev with another hatty last night in the first round of playoffs. Understand he's still in HS and a 19, but the doom and gloom in this thread have to be glad to see someone in the pipeline putting up goals

A few of you are missing tonight. Libraries should be so quiet.

And it'll change again tomorrow! A different lineup every night - just to keep the opposition off balance

Just win. I don't care about the score, but I'm calling 4-1, including an ENG at about 1:30 to go.

It's simply a progression of talent. Has nothing to do with him being like Brady or where he played, he was just the next young franchise type QB that was due for a contract. He took over Stafford's spot on the list. Next, it'll be Luck then so on and so forth.
Except he's being paid more after 7 starts than what Stafford got after 109 starts, and I thought Stafford got overpaid. Jimmy G is still largely unproven (7 starts is hardly a career).
I would have thought the Brock Osweiler debacle would have taught teams something about waiting to see what you really have. :shrug:
