SJHovey Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 10 hours ago, Ice Arena Man said: Was at a Super Bowl party this evening a person who thinks he is a goofer hockey fan. Used some foul language towards me when I told him the 2018 goofer vs FIGHTING SIOUX game in Vegas was going to be a sellout. I kind of rubbed it in his face when I told him I had already purchased 2 tickets and he would not be the person going to the game with me. He argued that no way would FIGHTING SIOUX FANS sell out the arena. I then told him the arena held about 6000 people and 90 % would be Sioux fans. He swore at me again and I told him we would see who is right when he is at home watching it on TV. According to Wiki, the Orleans Arena holds 7773 for ice hockey.

Sodbuster Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 My wife and I were hoping to purchase 4 tickets Friday so we could meet her brother and his wife from Prescott Valley, AZ there and attend the game together, but if all we can get is scattered tickets (if that) I guess we'll forget it.

Well if UND's allotment was 5000, and it seats 7773, then there should be 2700+ tickets for sale on ticketmaster because I don't think any are set aside for the gophers.

jdub27 Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 Looking at the map early in the process, there appeared to be two or three small sections carved out with pretty much the rest available. My guess is there will be a very limited amount left for the public sale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lawkota Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 In an email to STH they classified the game as a UND home game so I'm sure they would get a number of seats similar to what they would get at REA. As you said, that leaves a bunch in UND control and I doubt those will make it to public sale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SJHovey Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 The Minnesota release on the game said they will receive a "limited number of tickets." http://www.gophersports.com/sports/m-hockey/spec-rel/072716aaa.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siouxperfan7 Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 I guess that I am a little disappointed that this game won't have more Minnesota fans. I know that sounds crazy, but I think it would make for a great atmosphere. Don't get me wrong, having over 7000 passionate UND fans is going to be pretty crazy. But it would be great to have a few more Gopher fans to interact with during the weekend and at the game. That being said, Having a raucous crowd in full support of UND 1500 miles from their home arena is going to be an amazing experience.

Gophers don't use seats--they have little holes they poke their toothy heads out of when the first period is half over and disappear again after the third is half done. What they do down in those holes is not something I need to know, particularly if it has anything to do with procreation. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taz Boy Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 How does one prepare for such an event? It seems as though this is the near perfect confluence of factors: Vegas, hockey, Sioux, Gophers, alcohol, weekend. New York was special, if even a bit regal. Whereas, the presence of the filthy rodent, in a town known for sin, just seems like trouble is in the making. Oh the stories we will tell, our children will tell to theirs. It is going to be epic. taz 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
