MafiaMan Posted April 8, 2008 Posted April 8, 2008 Due to some issues out of my control, my dad has backed out of going to Denver this weekend. I still want to go, but it's not in the cards in 2008. Current odds: 10:90 Quote

MafiaMan Posted April 8, 2008 Posted April 8, 2008 do you need a ride or whats the deal? big a hg is looking for 2 to go I sent him a PM a bit ago. I was all set to board the Sioux bus but my dad's a bit skittish about leavin' the ranch for five days. I've also got my boy with me this weekend and he missed a week of school last month for my grandfather's funeral...be a bit tough to have him miss 3 more days of school this week. I'm bummed...but not sure what to do. 10:90 Quote

With Al's bus leaving at 7:00 am Wednesday morning, I'd have to leave Bloomington at about 3-4 am that same morning to meet the gang in Fargo (3 days). I PM'd Big a HG to check in on the Wednesday evening option (which would mean 2 days). It's not dead yet. Still a bit concerned that people seem to think there will be plenty of tickets available in Denver, yet they themselves have scrambled and overpaid for 300 level tickets before-hand. 15:85 Quote

Not everyone. Don't let tickets stop you if you can work the other stuff out. Quote
MafiaMan Posted April 8, 2008 Posted April 8, 2008 Not everyone. Don't let tickets stop you if you can work the other stuff out. So you're straddlin' the company line that tickets won't be a problem? My last FF was in Columbus so don't know how to gauge Milwaukee or St Louis. 13:87 Quote

My last FF was in Columbus so don't know how to gauge Milwaukee or St Louis. there will be tickets, even if they are in the 300 sections, just get down there it will be fun. The pepsi center holds 18,007 people, I doubt that the place will be full at any time during the FF, there will be tickets waiting for you outside the door. Quote
MafiaMan Posted April 8, 2008 Posted April 8, 2008 there will be tickets, even if they are in the 300 sections, just get down there it will be fun. It's lower bowl or bust for me. And I'm not talkin' the kind of 'bust' I saw at The Platinum Fox in 2005, either! 12:88 Quote
jukenjive27 Posted April 8, 2008 Posted April 8, 2008 It's lower bowl or bust for me. And I'm not talkin' the kind of 'bust' I saw at The Platinum Fox in 2005, either! Just go!!!! worry about tickets when u get there! Quote
USA Hockey Posted April 8, 2008 Posted April 8, 2008 It's lower bowl or bust for me. And I'm not talkin' the kind of 'bust' I saw at The Platinum Fox in 2005, either! 12:88 Last year I had upper bowl tickets in St. Louis and I sat lower bowl for all three games. This arena seats even more people and there might be even less there, so even if you get upper bowl you could probably sit lower bowl. Quote

My last FF was in Columbus so don't know how to gauge Milwaukee or St Louis. 13:87 you wont have a problem. milwaukee was hard only if uw was playing as i sold all of our groups title game tix for a grip but that is different than normal circumstances, otherwise they are easy, st louis was even easier. your main concern should be getting there, then hotel then get tix , get your arse there or do you have the kid for sure?

Sioux Hockey is more important than the lowly av's!!!!! and yes they would have lost home ice thanks to the sioux. lol just playin I dunno how they would have worked that out. Quote

What great memories. That was my first pole dancing experience! My buddy still thinks "Paradise" is saving herself for him and will marry him someday!!! Quote

Siouxmama Posted April 8, 2008 Posted April 8, 2008 She'll have to divorce me first for him to have a shot at her. 5:95 These numbers are going DOWN! What can we do to help bring them back up again? Quote
MafiaMan Posted April 8, 2008 Posted April 8, 2008 These numbers are going DOWN! What can we do to help bring them back up again? Good question. I'm even mulling over the thought of coming down there on Friday/Saturday should the Sioux win on Thursday. Crazy! 7:93 Quote
nodak hockey fanatic Posted April 8, 2008 Posted April 8, 2008 Good question. I'm even mulling over the thought of coming down there on Friday/Saturday should the Sioux win on Thursday. Crazy! 7:93 ice cold beer mm 15:85 free ice cold beer mm... 25:75 national title #8 with all your fellow sioux fans tearing up denver 95:5 Quote

jukenjive27 Posted April 8, 2008 Posted April 8, 2008 Fan bus leaves on wednesday, I would like to wish everyone who is riding the bus a safe trip! Same goes for everyone driving and flying. Quote

I got mine for face value and the guy shipped them for free. I am hoping i can move down to lower bowl once the game starts. Quote
MafiaMan Posted April 8, 2008 Posted April 8, 2008 I sent my dad one last e-mail asking if he was 100% certain he was willing to pass this trip up. 10:90 Quote
