LFSPRO Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 We are headed to MPLS on Thursday to get ready for the big games this weekend. This will be our first trip to see the Sioux play the Gophers in their house. Who else is going? Our tickets are SRO, are there parking spots our is it just first come first serve. If so, is a certain area of the arena more popular than others with the Sioux faithful? Any suggestions on where to go before and after the games? Looking forward to a great hockey weekend and a pair of Sioux victories! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This will be our first trip to see the Sioux play the Gophers in their house. Who else is going? There is a group of us going down to Mariucci for the first time also. Unfortunately we can't leave until friday at 1. So we will get there just in time for the game on friday. Our tickets are also SRO. All of us with SRO will have to take over a section and congregate together! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LFSPRO Posted January 22, 2007 Author Share Posted January 22, 2007 I am surprised you are not already camped outside at the home of the hated Gophers. I would expect you to be there cape and all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CASiouxfan Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 My wife and I are also going with my sister and brother-in-law, for the first time, who are all sioux fans. I will be looking for a sea of green to stand with as my tickets are also SRO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dakotadan Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 No one has answered the parking question. Anyone have any tips? My group and I will not be getting to the arena until right before the puck drops. Any info on what our best bet might be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are cutting it close don't go near the rink. Find a lot, dress warm and hoof it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiouxFanatic Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 My dad and I will be going as well as a friend of his who already lives in Minneapolis. Luckily, he's a Sioux fan as well. This is the first away Sioux game(s) we're going to. Sioux Sweep!?!? . GO SIOUX!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prpichrocks_19 Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 I wish I could go but I can't maybe one day Anyways good luck to the Sioux and really kick some ass!!!! GO KYLE RADKE!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
und_hky Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 Me, my sister and my mom will also be going down. It's my mom's 50th birthday so we'll be heading down on Thursday to get some shopping in before the big game on Friday. Anybody have any thoughts on wearing Holy Cross jerseys to the game?

Agreed. The big parking slab will be a mess due to the new football stadium. What I think you want to do is park at the Holiday Inn Metrodome ramp (a couple of bucks) and take the Sgt. Preston's fun bus to the John. That's your best bet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, get your Kelly Green and White on, and leave the purple in the closet. I will be leaving the Crusader flip-flops at home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
und_hky Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 For people who are going down on Thursday, where is everybody staying? Any ideas on good, close hotels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LFSPRO Posted January 22, 2007 Author Share Posted January 22, 2007 I would leave the Holy Cross jersey at home and save it for the Final Five. I would only wear mine if the Gophers are playing and the Sioux are not. We are heading out on Thursday night and staying at ours son's place in Eden Prairie. Friday will be a trip to the "Hell of American" with my daughter and wife looking for a prom dress. Thanks for the info on the parking and that SRO tickets are not assigned standing spots. Will need to get there early and claim our section on the rail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking about parking in the Huron Boulevard Parking Complex, but noticed on the U of M website (man that maroon and gold is ugly!) that access to this ramp might be contested due to construction. Can anyone verify this is true? Fight on FIGHTING SIOUX! -Heavy Metal Hockey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siouxguyinstpaul Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 I haven't heard or read anything about it - so it probably won't happen - but I was wondering if there will be a fan bus from GF this weekend. I know tickets were hard to acquire as I can only get SRO two minutes after they become available every year - but just wondering. That brings up another thought. I know the University of Minny Mystery downplays us as a substantial rival - sighting Sconny as the main one due to the Big 10 - and their arrogant fans ridicule us for even thinking that we are their biggest rival - as they are ours for obvious reasons. With that, why can't we get other than SRO tickets (if any at all) when these games mean so little to that elitest group of folks known as goofer fans. Sounds like I wrote the last paragraph for the Trolls - perhaps I did Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless I am on Winter vacation in Mexico. My guess is there will always be a few tickets for sale on the street, but not many and not for face value.

Greyeagle Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 Parking isn't nearly as bad as it's been suggested earlier in this thread, I don't think any lots have closed yet due to stadium construction. Personally, I usually park in the ramp right by Sally's, it's only $5, not a bad walk, and one is near Sally's or Stub's for post game libations.

An expected albeit uninformed responce as I had little difficulty getting box office tickets for the CC series earlier this season. But that was early and (as eluded to) wasn't UND or Sconny.

Doubt that, as every week of home games, emails float through my work environment of people dumping their season seats for the weekend. Except this one...
