Bob in Wisconsin Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 Not sure what end. Our friend got the tickets and just said row J behind the goalie. I'm good with that. Behind the goalie is my favorite place to sit. The student sections are 113 through 117, and everything above it (200's, 300's), but like the other posters said, probably no student section during these games, guess I didn't think of that.

Bob in Wisconsin Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 Which end of the ice does the home team shoot at twice? I tried finding it before I bought my tickets, but had no luck before my time ran out. We're in 204, Row D. Hopefully I guessed the right end that the Sioux shoot at twice. When I was at the games in November, the Sioux shot at the goal on the section 101 side twice (that way the students get to harass Lammy for 2 periods). Do we know who the home/away team is?

Bob in Wisconsin Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 Just got a room at the Sheraton on Priceline for $70/night. I tried to start bidding at 60, but it rejected it. Looks nice, but according to their website the Kohl Center is 3 miles away. Thanks Bob for all your help. Good Deal. The Concourse must be full or out of Priceline rooms now. The Sheraton is still showing $150 for Sat night and $170 for Sunday night. I called the Sheraton and they said they will be running a free shuttle to the Kohl center before and after the games. Bike path runs by the hotel, map here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianvf Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 Do we know who the home/away team is? The Sioux, as the #1 seed, would be the home team in both the Princeton game, and the final if they make it past Princeton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

und_hky Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 Does anyone know if there will be a fan get-together on Saturday before the game? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lakeside58703 Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 Does anyone know if there will be a fan get-together on Saturday before the game? I sure hope so. I am flying in solo, none of my friends willing to fork up the $$$ to fly in from Minot. Losers. So if you see someone wondering around solo in a sioux jersey. save me please. GO SIOUX!!

hermit Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 I-43 (runs north-south along eastern Wisconsin between like Green Bay and Milwaukee) is full of FIBS in the summer time. I hate them for all the garbage they throw out the window and how stupid they drive with their boats. I don't mind a fast driver, but be a good fast driver at least. Wisconsin does need to up the speed limit to 75 though. After going through North Dakota, then Minnesota, 65 mph is like crawling. FIBs remind me of people from the Twin Cities.

BigChief Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 Any suggestions on where to eat and what to do in Madison while waiting for the games? When I was there this fall I was really impressed with the architecture of the German style student union: Der Rathskeller, Memorial Union, 800 Langdon St. Madison, WI 53706 website / map The Plaza Tavern was pretty cool. It is sort of like "Whitey's" (Old school, very busy at night). http://www.theplazatavern.com/menu.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sioux-cia Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 Some friends and us have 4 seats behind the goalie in row J. Hopefully the weather cooperates and we will fly down in his plane. Much better than driving from GF. You better double check with them. I just got an email from the Domestic Diva offering me two of the four tickets! AND they're thinking of taking Al's bus!!

Smoggy Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 we are a 1 seed and home team both games im guessing with last line change Home team both games and last line change are a yes. However that doesn't mean we'll be shooting at the same end twice that the Badgers normally do. IIRC the Sioux have the right to UW's locker room as it is the home team's and we are the #1 seed. But we'll let them have it which could cause a bench switchero as far as home team bench is concerned. I believe the X switched around the benches between Thursday and Friday. EDIT: I should clarify that I'm going off what I remember from the Ralph hosting. It may also have something to do with number of locker rooms and size and all that.

WiSioux Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 The Nitty Gritty is always a popular place to grab food/drinks... it's very close to the arena. The webpage took forever to load on my computer, just to warn ya... I'll ask my family and friends and see if I can get more recommendations Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob in Wisconsin Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 I called up the UW ticket office, and they confirmed that there isn't an official student section, but did say that the students are buying up the tickets in the areas normaly occupied by students. The other thing is, you won't be allowed to leave and return between games on Saturday, so plan on being in there from 2 untill the end of the night. Concession stands should do pretty well!

jimdahl Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 Nitty Gritty is the closest bar and will be absolutely jammed around game time. Can't go wrong with State Street Brats (FYI -- white brat basket and spicy fries). Taken a step further, you can't go wrong strolling up State St. and stopping wherever grabs your fancy. If you don't mind walking, if you make it up State St. all the way up to the Capitol neighborhood the Great Dane is a decent brewpub. The Essen Haus, which has been threatened for demolition/condo conversion for about 5 years now, has always been on my "must do" list if it's still standing (get a boot or a 5L of your favorite German beer -- mine is Spaten Optimator). I used to hang out on Regent St. a lot, though that's probably less interesting for visitors on non-football days. The union is very nice and does serve beer, but the best part about it really is the terrace out back on Lake Mendota. Unfortunately, with the winter you guys have been having, my understanding is that its far too early for that to be pleasant or even open.

Bob in Wisconsin Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 I love the terrace in the fall after a game, or a stroll around Bascom Hill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
