tuggnutt Posted December 11, 2002 Share Posted December 11, 2002 Just curious if UND does a "fan bus" to away games...it would be fun to see them sometime in the second half (since they won't be in GF) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
choyt3 Posted December 11, 2002 Share Posted December 11, 2002 I think Al Pearson (aka Santa Claus) usually gets a bus together for some away games. I know they went to St. Cloud earlier this year. Others that post here have gone along at times. Al is the guy that always wears the white cowboy hat with the old Blackhawk logo on it. Someone else should be able to provide some more info.

forecheck Posted December 11, 2002 Share Posted December 11, 2002 Al Pearson is putting together a bus trip to Mankato, and then the Final Five and Frozen Four if the team makes it. Just look him up in the phone book if you're interested. They welcome "rookies." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hrkac Posted December 11, 2002 Share Posted December 11, 2002 i'll see you all in mankato! i have a group, from mpls., that goes every year on sat. night. it's a terrible arena and the SIOUX fans usually out-number the kato fans. hopefully, we can sweep them this year. and after the game we usually go to the nearest bar to have a victory drink!

YaneA Posted December 11, 2002 Share Posted December 11, 2002 Al also has plans to take a bus on that long and winding road to Madison later this season. He's supposed to send details for both Mankato and Madison to us regulars but since the games are still months away we haven't heard from him yet. He arranges everything--transportation, hotel, tickets. Never any worries with Al in charge. I'll post info here when I get it from Al.

mksioux Posted December 11, 2002 Share Posted December 11, 2002 Myself and some friends are making the trip to Madison as well. Do you know where Al and his group usually sit in the Kohl? It might be nice to get tickets and sit in a section with a large number of Sioux fans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any arena where you can have a whiskey coke at your seats isn't so "terrible" in my book. The fans and atmosphere have left a lot to be desired when I've been there. Certainly the hundred or so Sioux fans that show up are frequently louder than the Mavs fans. But any arena is quieter when you're getting your ass kicked year in and year out--hopefully this years' team has them a bit more fired up.

YaneA Posted December 11, 2002 Share Posted December 11, 2002 mksioux: This is the first time in my history with Al that we've planned on going to Madison. I believe the tickets he gets will be some of the ones Wisconsin alots UND as the away team, which I'm guessing are seats in the designated visitors' section.

mksioux Posted December 11, 2002 Share Posted December 11, 2002 YaneA: Thanks...I'll try to find out where the designated visitors section is and get tickets in or near that section. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think back in 2000-2001 when we got kicked 6-1 on Friday night in Kato their student section had a whole lot of fun with me in my Sioux jersey. Unfortunately I was the only Sioux fan close by. Also sucked that I was not present to gloat on them the following night when we returned the favor. This year do to missing the SC series, I plan to make both games in mankato. Maybe Sioux fans can meet up somewhere.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
