Oxbow6 Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 Lots of issues with the Frozen Faceoff but the staff at the Target Center are some of the worst "customer service" people I've ever dealt with........... especially the ushering staff. Embarrassing! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I misunderstood your post to mean that Groupon people were the only ones held up and was curious. The wristband thing was kind of annoying last year but I was able to get in on time for the game. I'd show up 20 minutes early or so to avoid. I didn't make the post you were questioning, I was basically agreeing with you. Focker made the post you were referring to.

If UND were the 3 time defending Frozen Faceoff Champions as opposed to having a 1-4-1 record, the opinions of most would most likely be different. Spot on analysis.

Anyone know what they are offering? I got the call at work yesterday. He is offering discounted tickets and hotel rooms. I am supposed to get an e-mail on this so I can look it over and I will talk to him again on Monday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got a motel cheaper by calling the motel instead of going through the NCHC and hotels.com. the more people start booking that number will rise obviously. But I think now the rooms are abundant. Tickets went from $130 to $116 for premium. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thUNDer Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 The push is definitely on with the NCHC fan bases and college hockey junkie attendees in general. Apparently sales are down and game tix and hotel rooms in MSP will be plentiful come March. The League is going to be so screwed if (perish the thought) the good guys in green stay away.

SJHovey Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 Personally I always had a blast at the conference tournaments, whether played at the old St. Paul Civic Center, Xcel or Target Center, even if UND wasn't in the tournament. In fact those were some of the funnest experiences I had. No anxiety regarding the games. You got to cheer for whoever you wanted, and usually against Minnesota. I wouldn't miss it even if UND did. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SJHovey Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 The other thing to consider about the Frozen Faceoff is, assuming you are fan of college hockey, the possibility of seeing a really excellent championship game. Even if UND is not in the tournament, or the championship game, a UMD-DU final would be excellent, and probably determine the #1 overall seed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I would much rather see UND beat Denver in the semis and Duluth for the Championship!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last year 4 of the best teams in the country (and probably the two best at the end Denver and UND) were at the tourney and I thought the quality of the games were poor due to lousy ice conditions and boards. This is what makes the games hard to watch for me. Pucks bouncing over sticks constantly and terrible bounces off the boards. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thUNDer Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 Exactly, plus UND and Denver were already in the NCAA. Their compete level at the Frozen Faceoff was no where near their compete level in the Frozen Four. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it going like gangbusters even if we're already in the NCAA's or sandbagging it because we're already in the NCAA's? Seems we'll complain no matter what. Fortunately for the fans, I'm pretty sure the team won't have a choice in this year's NCHC tournament - and that's IF they make the trip to Target Center.

MafiaMan Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 I think I'll pass on tickets again this year. Attendance might be a BIG problem without UND in the building. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhenry8439 Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Just got a call from the NCHC about buying tickets to the Frozen Faceoff. I told the lady that the only way i would go is if UND makes it. She didn't sound too excited about that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They also asked a bunch of questions about the current tournament. Sounds like they are hearing loud and clear that we want it back at the X. Bottom line is I told her the same that if UND isn't there, neither am I. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MafiaMan Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 That sound you heard in Minneapolis about 30 minutes ago...was Target Center imploding. I'll take the under in 3,000 semi-final games attendance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As if Target Center is just right? The way it looks now, they may as well move it to Bloomington Ice Gardens! And there might STILL be plenty of good seats available. I'll call the ticket folks back when they're pawning off center ice tickets for $10 a pop. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
