Air Force One Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 Seems weird to me, Gopher fans are ripping this idea on the Star Tribune article and here the UND fans are making plans to be there. Looks like Seattle for the UND/Huskies football game on Labor Day weekend in 2018 and Las Vegas for UND/Gopher hockey the next month. I better start saving up! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are reserving a small amount of tickets for Gopher fans to get tickets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Strib, in its infinite wisdom, cut the quote short. The wording in UM's release states: "The University of Minnesota will be provided with a limited number of tickets for the 2018 U.S. Hockey Hall of Fame Game to sell exclusively to Gopher fans." which is has quite a bit different meaning than what they put in their article: "The university announcement said tickets will be available "exclusively to Gopher fans.""

nodak651 Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 LOL saw this quote from Faison in a news article: Faison said he’s already getting calls from fans wanting tickets and hotel rooms. “Fan are calling us about suites,” he said. “That’s how we roll." http://m.reviewjournal.com/sports/hockey/north-dakota-minnesota-bring-hockey-rivalry-las-vegas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That made me think I basically Hate the Goofs & hope we embarras them 20 -0 But if it's a good game that's good if we win If not I'll continue to hate them even more So it will be of interest to me because of the rivalry & Location - In fact if it was in Minn I'd rather stay home & watch on tv Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might make the Gopher athletic department have a reality check and start taking the steps they need to take to restore their hockey program.
