Brent_Bobyck Posted December 6, 2003 Posted December 6, 2003 Start searching for airline prices....seriously. Quote
jimdahl Posted December 6, 2003 Posted December 6, 2003 Looks like about $800/head for me to fly. If I can make it, I'll end up driving. All the hotels in Muscle Shoals other than a Best Western seem to be booked or at least not available through online aggregators (which I remember being true in 2001, also). Is it just that popular a destination, or are some of those already reserved for the football championship? I expect UND to run a fan bus or charter, but will any tickets/accommodations be available to fans coming from places other than Grand Forks? Quote
frogger Posted December 6, 2003 Posted December 6, 2003 Me too! Congrats UND. Neither GVSU or UND was the hip pick in this round. All I heard was TAMUK and UNA. Screw those people. You guys were cool people in 01 and we look forward to having a good game! Quote
Bison_Kent Posted December 6, 2003 Posted December 6, 2003 Congrats UND. I have to admit that I am surprised in the results in both games but I will admit that I was wrong with my projections. Good luck next week and win another title for the state of North Dakota. Quote
Sandram Posted December 6, 2003 Posted December 6, 2003 As a UNA fan, of course I'm disappointed we didn't win the game. However, my congratulations to UND on a tremendous win! No sour grapes here about not playing at home or anything else - you guys won on the field and deserve to be in the championship game. Welcome, again, to Florence - I'll see you at the game Saturday and I will be cheering you guys on. Hope it's a great game and also hope you have safe trip to Florence and a good time while you're here!! Again - congratulations and I continue to pray for Dru, her family, and all of you who have been trying to find her. Go Sioux!!! Sandram Quote

Sandram If the UNA posters on this site are any indication, you guys have some of the classiest fans in dII. Congrats on a great year. Quote
Sioux,CO Posted December 6, 2003 Posted December 6, 2003 Sandram is proof that there are some classy UNA fans out there. At the start of the week I was questionable, but there great fans down south. Hopefully, I can get a flight and visit your state next weekend. Great game Sioux. Great year UNA. Quote
CoteauRinkRat Posted December 7, 2003 Posted December 7, 2003 Don't you just love airline options out of Grand Forks and into Alabama. Quote
Diggler Posted December 7, 2003 Posted December 7, 2003 I know UND is chartering something for the trip for fans. They were handing out stuff after the game. I didn't get one though cause I'm poor and couldn't afford to go anyways. The you won't have to deal with Northworst. Quote
LakerFan Posted December 7, 2003 Posted December 7, 2003 1300 miles is a long damn way. It is almost double what we got. I hope you guys get a ton of fans there because a packed house will be fun. Quote
Goon Posted December 7, 2003 Posted December 7, 2003 Don't you just love airline options out of Grand Forks and into Alabama. There are exactly two Mesaba Avaiton and Northwest Airlines. Sounds like they announced there would be a charter going down next week. Quote
Smoggy Posted December 7, 2003 Posted December 7, 2003 If anyone finds a decent priced airline going somewhere near Florence, let me know. I've been hunting the sites, but going from one geographic area to another one is always expensive. Looking like it's too much for me. Quote
redwing77 Posted December 7, 2003 Posted December 7, 2003 take a train? Is that possible? Greyhound? Quote
MinnesotaNorthStar Posted December 7, 2003 Posted December 7, 2003 There are exactly two Mesaba Avaiton and Northwest Airlines. Sounds like they announced there would be a charter going down next week. You can try going down to Fargo and flying with Independence Air (Formerly Atlantic Coast Airlines), Mesaba, or Northwest...prices will be cheaper because of competitiveness. Quote
Smoggy Posted December 7, 2003 Posted December 7, 2003 I'm a teacher, so I don't really get to take days off. I could maybe call in sick for one day tops, but I would like to save those for when one of my unsanitary and unmannered students gets me sick. Quote
Shawn-O Posted December 7, 2003 Posted December 7, 2003 If anyone finds a decent priced airline going somewhere near Florence, let me know. I've been hunting the sites, but going from one geographic area to another one is always expensive. Looking like it's too much for me. Thought Southwest might be a good optionn from LAX to Birmingham, but looks like it's $300 each way. Quote
Smoggy Posted December 7, 2003 Posted December 7, 2003 Thought Southwest might be a good optionn from LAX to Birmingham, but looks like it's $300 each way. I saw that too. At first I thought it was round trip and I would've done it. Boy airlines really gouge people. Quote
SiouxperDave Posted December 7, 2003 Posted December 7, 2003 I think me and some friends might roadie. It's 1352 miles from Grand Forks to Florence. The game's at 4PM on Saturday so if we leave by 4PM or so on Friday we'll be there in plenty of time. Quote

The game's at 4PM on Saturday so if we leave by 4PM or so on Friday we'll be there in plenty of time. It took the band 25 hours to get done there in 2001. And 25 hours back. A very looooong trip. Of course, I think we did stop for like an hour for both lunch and supper. And we had to do the speed limit. Quote
Galley Posted December 7, 2003 Posted December 7, 2003 I've been living in Greenville, SC for nearly 15 years. I didn't go to Florence in 2001, but should really to to go this year since it's only 410 miles away. Quote
Webster Posted December 7, 2003 Posted December 7, 2003 Congrats UND on a great season/game. I hope that you bring a lot of your fans to Bama because GVSU is going to have a BIG CROWD. I wouldn't miss this game for anything! D2 football, where else can you get into a great game like this for 15 bucks? Worth the trip, for sure. Quote

I wouldn't miss this game for anything! D2 football, where else can you get into a great game like this for 15 bucks? Worth the trip, for sure. I hear that already. I've heard it along the lines of the Cubs fans in Atlanta this past postseason or Sioux hockey fans at nearly every other WCHA arena. To me, that's what I call pride. I hope we are up to the task. MAYBE Bowencamp should practice the silent count this week in practice Quote
bootydo Posted December 7, 2003 Posted December 7, 2003 congrats on your win UND, I didn't get to see the 2001 game, but everyone up here is talking about a rematch, so i'm excited!!! it's gunna be a good game, see ya guys on Sat. Go LAKERS Quote
redwing77 Posted December 7, 2003 Posted December 7, 2003 Who WISHES they were going to 'BAMA? ME! Quote
