MafiaMan Posted April 8, 2008 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MafiaMan Posted April 8, 2008 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

USA Hockey Posted April 8, 2008 Share 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.

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.
