DAR Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 yes, the have played down in the ft myers area before I believe... Hope it works out but that i s about the worst place to have a frozen four....I understand trying to spread college hockey and all but.....will be an easy ticket for those teams fortunate enough to make it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siouxrunner Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 yes, the have played down in the ft myers area before I believe... UND has never played a game in Florida Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilbur Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 UND has never played a game in Florida I didn't think so. I didn't think they had played in the Everglades Classic that happens around the holiday season etc. I agree with what someone said earlier, I think the crowds have the possibility to be atrocious......If Denver and CC fans don't travel to St. Paul to watch their teams I'm guessing they won't travel to Florida. This would be the year too that a Fairbanks or Anchorage makes the frozen four too.....talk about playing a long ways from home..... If Fairbanks makes the frozen four they will be playing 4,743 miles from home....thank you mapquest! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sioux-cia Posted August 3, 2011 Author Share Posted August 3, 2011 I think the attendance will be ok. When it was announced that the F4 was going to be held at Ford Field in Detroit, there were a lot of naysayers who believed the attendance would be small. It actually had an attendance of almost 40,000. Anaheim another least likely spot for a F4 also had respectable numbers; well over 39,000.

Yes, but they were handing out free tickets by the bucket in Michigan the last few weeks to youth hockey groups and others to get the attendance up.

Its funny that the NCAA hadn't mentioned that at all.... Hmmm.....a hockey tournament in a football stadium......who came up with that idea?

Sioux-cia Posted August 3, 2011 Author Share Posted August 3, 2011 Started looking for rooms in Tampa and I'm more than a little p o'd. A room near the arena that costs $119./night today is going for over $300./night over the F4 timeframe! The other hotels in the same general vicinity have all jacked up their prices to twice or more as well. I'm all for making a profit but that's ridiculous! What a rip off!! For those prices, I can stay farther away, rent a car and still not spend as much money. But, I love being walking distance from all the F4 activities......

Sioux-cia Posted August 3, 2011 Author Share Posted August 3, 2011 Walking???? (I'm kidding, friend.) Well, ok, running, skipping, being wheeled in my chair, or being dragged by my hair, the shorter the distance, the better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthDakotaHockey Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 Yes, but they were handing out free tickets by the bucket in Michigan the last few weeks to youth hockey groups and others to get the attendance up. Actually, that was me handing out free tickets by the buckets to Detroit Area Yoot Hockey Association. They may have been free to the kids, but they were full price to me. At least I got a tax deduction for my beating. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommiejo Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 I'm looking to the Frozen Four & I hope that the "FIGHTING SIOUX" are in it & better yet win it. Also it's great to have the Frozen Four right here in my back yard. I'm about 20 minutes away from the St Pete Times Forum. I can't wait. SIOUX FAN SINCE 1973.

Can we camp out in your backyard to save money??!! I'm kidding, obviously. Doesn't look like I will be attending. Started a new job and don't think i will have quite enough vacation time accumulated by then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
