Sioux-cia Posted August 1, 2011 Author Posted August 1, 2011 I think you got took if you just received tickets to the 2011 Frozen Four. Oops!! I better fix my laptop it transposes the one and two sometimes.... LOL Quote
Big A HG Posted August 1, 2011 Posted August 1, 2011 Oops!! I better fix my laptop it transposes the one and two sometimes.... LOL Does this mean we get Gregoire, Genoway, Frattin, etc. back? Quote
Sioux-cia Posted August 1, 2011 Author Posted August 1, 2011 Does this mean we get Gregoire, Genoway, Frattin, etc. back? If only...... Quote
farce poobah Posted August 2, 2011 Posted August 2, 2011 Oops!! I better fix my laptop it transposes the one and two sometimes.... LOL You aren't the only one who's Freudianally slipping back to getting Frattin, Genoway, and a cast of stars back on the team.

luv4hockey Posted August 2, 2011 Posted August 2, 2011 Received my letter and we are going to Tampa. Should be fun and a nice winter break. Quote
Wilbur Posted August 2, 2011 Posted August 2, 2011 Hmmm....question....Have the Sioux ever played a hockey game in the state of Florida? Quote
willythekid Posted August 2, 2011 Posted August 2, 2011 Hmmm....question....Have the Sioux ever played a hockey game in the state of Florida? yes, the have played down in the ft myers area before I believe... Quote
DAR Posted August 2, 2011 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
siouxrunner Posted August 2, 2011 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
Wilbur Posted August 2, 2011 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
Sioux-cia Posted August 3, 2011 Author 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. Quote

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. Quote
Sioux-cia Posted August 3, 2011 Author Posted August 3, 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. Glad they gave them to the kids! Quote

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? Quote
Sioux-cia Posted August 3, 2011 Author 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...... Quote
mikejm Posted August 3, 2011 Posted August 3, 2011 But, I love being walking distance from all the F4 activities...... Walking???? (I'm kidding, friend.) Quote
Sioux-cia Posted August 3, 2011 Author 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

Sioux-cia Posted August 4, 2011 Author Posted August 4, 2011 Tent... Tent space > Valet parking only =$500. night and I have to move it from the parking spot every morning and port-a-potty extra. Quote
NorthDakotaHockey Posted August 4, 2011 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
Tommiejo Posted September 2, 2011 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. Quote

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
