DLW4GOPHERS Posted December 23, 2005 Posted December 23, 2005 Just do a google search for hotels close to the University. Trying to be in the Christmas spirit I want to wish all of the Sioux fans a very Merry Christmas and a safe and Happy New Years. Win all of you NC games. The WCHA needs the power ranking. Quote
Supertrex Posted December 23, 2005 Posted December 23, 2005 (edited) Great post Stack If anyone has an in I'd be willing to pay a premium for 3 tickets to Saturday's game. GO SIOUX, GO USA I went to a few games there too. Those were the days. They'd throw the Sioux fans in the GA section and I hardly ever had a clear view of the goal. We used to go to the Old rink often to watch WCHA games, even non-Sioux games. I couldn't cheer for the dirty gophers, of course, but a guy could call out "pointers" like "Shoot the puck, Moron", etc. - The Gophers were famous for looking off a good shot opportunity in order to have a five pass, highlight reel goal... three-quarters of the time, they wouldn't get a shot...nothing has changed...

kateskate Posted December 23, 2005 Posted December 23, 2005 What are the hotels located in the area around Mariucci, Stub-n-herbs and Sallies? Thanks There is a Raddison about a blcok away from Mariucci. Quote
Supertrex Posted December 24, 2005 Posted December 24, 2005 (edited) The best place to stay is the Hyatt downtown Mpls (13th and Nicollet Mall) and take a cab to the game and back. There's alot more to do downtown (and let's face it, you're there a couple of days and only at the rink a few hours). Plus, you don't have to drive, park, wait, etc...Use priceline for weekend rates...We've gone this route even without tickets and watched the game in one of the many sports bars downtown...it's a blast no matter where you are...especially if the Sioux get going early...It's just a fun weekend to be in the cities...

Let'sGoHawks! Posted January 8, 2006 Author Posted January 8, 2006 How easy would it be to pick up a few tickets before the games? Scalpers pretty unreasonable? Are there standing room tix available? Quote
AZSIOUX Posted January 8, 2006 Posted January 8, 2006 How easy would it be to pick up a few tickets before the games? Scalpers pretty unreasonable? Are there standing room tix available? theres always tix outside, just be ready to spend some money. i have gotten lucky there and got in for face value from a normal person just selling or i have paid 50.00 to 75.00 for a ticket as well. just depends. there does not seem to be any standing room tix on their ticket site left. theres a few sets on ebay right now. they are going pretty high. http://cgi.ebay.com/Minnesota-Gophers-Hock...1QQcmdZViewItem http://cgi.ebay.com/2-MN-gophers-mens-hock...1QQcmdZViewItem http://cgi.ebay.com/2-MN-gophers-mens-hock...1QQcmdZViewItem Quote

siouxguyinstpaul Posted January 8, 2006 Posted January 8, 2006 I'll be there with my wife both nights - SRO - so I guss I will be there early to contrast all the Maroon/gold with our Kelly Green Quote
redwing77 Posted January 8, 2006 Posted January 8, 2006 There is a SMALL chance I'll be at the Saturday game. If I am, I'd love to meet you all (especially those Gopher rubes sagard and Greyeagle. I also believe I owe WPoS a beer?) Quote

I also believe I owe WPoS a beer?) I'll have to hold off on the beer, after the holiday season, I'm taking it easy for a month to give my liver a chance for my visit to Tech! Otherwise if you see me stop me and say howdy... WPoS Quote
