Fedorov Posted December 10, 2003 Posted December 10, 2003 I know it is early, but I want to buy my tickets soon. I was wondering if anyone else plans on going. I have been there the last two years and it is very fun. I have never sat by Badger fans causing too much trouble, but it would be fun to sit with other Sioux Fans. I know that a bus normally goes there, but I do not know if they have extra tickets to sell. It should be a good series with the way the Badgers have been playing, and it is actually fun to hear there fricking loud goal horn. So, anyone going? Quote
Herf Posted December 10, 2003 Posted December 10, 2003 I live in Madtown and was thinking about getting my tickets soon. If we have an idea of who is going to make it, we can try and get a block of seats, but we should do it soon. Quote
CoteauRinkRat Posted December 11, 2003 Posted December 11, 2003 I'm taking the charter bus there, never been to Madison for a hockey game before. Quote
Fedorov Posted December 11, 2003 Author Posted December 11, 2003 Is there any way to get in on the charter tickets so that we can be with a large Sioux group? Quote
Ghost of Smith Posted December 12, 2003 Posted December 12, 2003 I am trying to get my dad to go with me. I have never been there for a game and the way Wisco is playing it may be worth the trip. Quote
WPoS Posted December 12, 2003 Posted December 12, 2003 just be prepared for: LOTS of beer! UW fans who don't understand hockey and chear for the stupidist things Check out the Red Barn (Herf help here) or something like that. $5 Long Islands that were potent and large! Served in mason jars. WPoS Quote
Fedorov Posted December 24, 2003 Author Posted December 24, 2003 Any news on the bus to Madison? I would really like to get my tickets soon, and it would be more fun to sit with Sioux fans. It looks like Saturday night has no good tickets left again. Quote
CoteauRinkRat Posted December 24, 2003 Posted December 24, 2003 I have no idea about where the tickets are located at. They were bought when tickets first went on sale, I was told. Quote
Fedorov Posted December 24, 2003 Author Posted December 24, 2003 I have no idea about where the tickets are located at. They were bought when tickets first went on sale, I was told. Are you going on the bus? I wonder what they do with any tickets not taken on the bus. I actually hope they have a full bus this year with how good Wisconsin is doing. Quote
upurrsiouxfan Posted December 25, 2003 Posted December 25, 2003 I will be going through there and would love to catch the sat. night game and sit w/ a bunch of rowdy sioux fans. Would love to know how to get tickets w/ everyone. I won't be taking the bus, have to continue on to Detroit on business. Quote
CoteauRinkRat Posted December 28, 2003 Posted December 28, 2003 I was going on the bus, but now am flying. Quote
Fedorov Posted December 28, 2003 Author Posted December 28, 2003 I was going on the bus, but now am flying. Someone has the big bucks. Are you still getting tickets through the bus trip? Quote
rochsioux Posted December 31, 2003 Posted December 31, 2003 Anyone have recommendations for hotels in Madison ? Quote
CoteauRinkRat Posted December 31, 2003 Posted December 31, 2003 No longer getting tix through the bus. Quote
Fedorov Posted December 31, 2003 Author Posted December 31, 2003 Anyone have recommendations for hotels in Madison ? The HoJo is the best place to stay in my opinion. The team stays there, and you can walk to the game, places to eat, and bars. It is really nice to never have to drive. The rooms weren't bad, but a little spendy. I also stayed at the Super 8 which had a 24 hour pool and hot tub, but the rooms weren't that great. It also sucked to have to drive. Quote
Fedorov Posted January 24, 2004 Author Posted January 24, 2004 Anyone else thinking about going for a sweep and fun nights out? Quote
mksioux Posted January 24, 2004 Posted January 24, 2004 Regarding tickets: it may be too late, but avoid the upper deck if at all possible unless you're sitting in the first couple rows. The sightlines are absolutely terrible. You won't be able to see 1/3 of the ice. If there's nothing else available, buy from a scalper on the way in. Regarding the trip: Madison is best road trip in the WCHA (so far...still haven't been everywhere). The fans are great (although like WPoS said, not very knowledgeable). And most importantly, the bars are fantastic. Quote
Fedorov Posted January 24, 2004 Author Posted January 24, 2004 I agree. This will be my third year in a row for the trip. I need to find a scalper for Saturday tickets because I don't want the third level. The Badgers have been falling a part, so I expect tickets to be available. I'm just curious if anyone else is going for the fun trip. Quote
Diggler Posted January 24, 2004 Posted January 24, 2004 I heard today that the games are sold out. I'm sure you can still get tickets from a scalper though. Wish I could go. I'd love to go to Madison. Quote

I'd love to go to Madison. Neither games are sold out. For whatever reason, the Saturday games always have more people. Quote
Fedorov Posted February 2, 2004 Author Posted February 2, 2004 I just love bumping this thread. So, is anyone else going? Quote
jimdahl Posted February 4, 2004 Posted February 4, 2004 As per the Capital Times As of Monday, only 1,400 tickets remained for Saturday's game at the 15,237-capacity Kohl Center and 3,000 were left for the opener on Friday. Quote
GBpakrzz Posted February 5, 2004 Posted February 5, 2004 I grew up in Grand Forks and currently reside in Wisconsin. I bought 4 tickets a few months ago for the Friday game. For those of you who have never been there, Mad-Town is a blast. I believe they were just rated the best College Sports Town in America by some rag. I have been to a handfull of Sioux/Badger games at the Kohl Center...always wearing my Sioux garb of course. I have never had a poor experience with Badger fans there. It's worth the trip if you get a chance. GO SIOUX! Quote
