I did name your own price on priceline and got my rental car for 15 dollars a day. 

Which rental company did you get?

For those going to the games, be ready for a $hit show after game one and before game two. 

With the first game starting at 5 and und going at 8:30, that will mean about an hour for the arena to clear out completely and then get everyone in. It's going to be ridiculous and I bet some people miss puck drop. 

They Didn't do a very good job thinking of this time wise for this system, it doesn't seem like it anyways. They should start the first game at 4, but that makes more sense so they obviously can't do it that way

No kidding! The game times are the same as last year....except there was only one semi finals ticket.

I got budget. I don't rent cars much so don't know if that is good or bad.

I only see goals. I don't believe in failure.

I unfortunately will not be attending the Frozen 4 in Tampa this year. On Thursday of this week my wife had  knee replacement surgery.It was originally scheduled for May but they moved it up. I will be sitting at home caring for her on Thursday and Saturday(When the FIGHTING SIOUX PLAY FOR THE NCAA CHAMPIONSHIP.  I have enjoyed being at the last two Frozen 4's even though my team lost both times. I will miss the atmosphere AND fellowship of being there but will be perched in front of my TV both nights rooting for my beloved UNIVERSITY OF NORTH DAKOTA FIGHTING SIOUX! I have it on my bucket list to be present when they win the NCAA Championship. I plan on being in Chicago next year and St PAUL THE following years to hopefully watch a repeat and a threepeat. GO FIGHTING SIOUX!

Section 104 for me, anyone else in this section?

Any charter people heard anything on our packets? For some reason I thought we picked them up quicker than this last year, or even the year prior?

[SiouxATCer]

My tickets included some sort or "hospitality area"....has anyone ever participated in this? It said its just a cash bar and some small plate food items.

For anyone going to Tampa, I just rechecked hotels and found a larger one (suite) for $20 cheaper than I booked it a week and a half ago.  I would say keep checking up to departure time as I think the hotel gouging backs off if rooms go unfilled.

Got a 2 double bed effenciency at suburban extended stay airport if someone wants to split it.

I love how everyone tries to help each other out on this site with offering to split hotel rooms or rental cars or whatever when it comes to hockey games in other states, I'm being serious, it's just awesome. We have to get as many Sioux fans as we can in Tampa!

 

GO SIOUX!!!

[keikla]

Tickets arrived in the mail yesterday (I was starting to worry), staying in a condo in the middle of Channel district.  21 hrs of work standing between me and vacation!

I'd offer to share my 1 bed at our hotel but it might make the wife uncomfortable.

The Sheraton Suites by the airport.  I have 6 staying in my room so the suite was a necessity

Was $199 now $179

Along the lines of hotel deals...I just switched mine.

If you sign up for extended perks on the extended stay America website, they send you a code for 15% off your booking. Saved $70 off my four nights.

Hah, alright!  16 hours of work btwn me and heading to Tampa Wed!  I was a bit nervous when I ordered tickets on line last week so went with the will call versus via mail (there was no print at home option, surprising).

Suppose its about that time. 
Any guesses where the pregame party will be?

How hard will tickets be to come by? I'm going down empty handed.

Sioux hockey and a nice warm vacation.....can't wait.

I have two tickets to the Sioux game that I desperately need to sell. They are Row A seats 7 & 8 I believe lower bowl! Looking for $210 a piece if you would like? I will be heading to the cities Tuesday, staying the night, and flying out on Wednesday. If you are interested, you can text me 701-446-7337!
