dj_hoime Posted February 3, 2007 Posted February 3, 2007 I am planning on going to the final five games. Where should i plan to sit? where are sioux fans sitting?? Quote
Goon Posted February 3, 2007 Posted February 3, 2007 I would get club seats they are awesome, there is less line for the bathroom and shorter lines for the beer. My buddies and myself have sat in section 22 since the Final Five has been at the Xcel energy center. Quote
siouxguyinstpaul Posted February 3, 2007 Posted February 3, 2007 Section 25 here - usually stand at the rail if those aren't sold. Club level is the best. Quote
01grad Posted February 3, 2007 Posted February 3, 2007 Sit in the lower level so your green can be seen! Quote
yekcoh Posted February 5, 2007 Posted February 5, 2007 They don't seem to have a specific area for any teams. We always get the same seats, 6th row in section 109 and the same Gopher fans sit behind us every year. We have actually gotten to be friends over the years and have even met up with them the last 2 Frozen Fours. So there are some decent Gopher fans... though few and far between! Any seat at the Xcel is going to be a good seat. Beer lines are never long. Wally the beerman usually parks his stuff right behind our section! I don't know about the men's restroom lines.. I don't go there. Quote
Sioux-cia Posted February 5, 2007 Posted February 5, 2007 We're in section 119 (I think) lower level. Womens bathrooms are directly behind us so we don't have to go far. Beer guys park near the bathroom between games and periods. Nice people as well as jerks from different teams all around us. The Gopher fans behind us have gotten a little less obnoxious over the years but they still laugh and think it's funny when the Gopher jerks behind them throw food at us. We've never talked to them, taunted them, or anything to start the food throwing stuff. They're just a$$holes. Quote

Yes, but they are also a bunch of pansy-a$$es when they are challenged to take it outside. Imagine...being afraid to fight a girl. Weenies. Quote

Yeah, I'm 'just a girl' but I could take those weenies with one hand tied behind my back (and my two sons at my side!!). Quote
siouxnami Posted February 5, 2007 Posted February 5, 2007 where are sioux fans sitting?? Everywhere, but try to get lower bowl... Quote

It goes both ways, I had Sioux fans sitting behind me last year during the Gopher-SCSU game at the Final 5 and they were equally rude to us without us saying a word to them all night. Every fan base has fans that are jerks, it's a sad reality of college sports these days. Quote
TinyTimmay Posted February 14, 2007 Posted February 14, 2007 This isn't really related to "seating" but more about lodging. I'd like to hear any ideas or suggestions about good places to stay near the X that are within walking distance, that might still have rooms available, or places with availability that might have a shuttle service of some kind set up. I'm the biggest procrastinator in the world and leave it to me to start looking for rooms a month before the F5. Quote

I would personally go up there and tell them if they don't like getting a drink dumped on their head to stop throwing food. We had some @$$whole throw stuff at us after we celebrated a goal when we played Wisconsin. It was a one time deal and I think it came from the Wisconsin band actually. Quote

The Holiday Inn is sold out every year during the final five. I checked around last season and 10 miles was as close as I got. Quote

LFSPRO Posted February 14, 2007 Posted February 14, 2007 Tickets are hard to get at this time. I would recommend the neighborhood that includes LFSPRO and 01GRAD. That would be Section 117 behind the benches. We have a good cross section of decent fans there but best of all, we are there! As far as rooms, we have stayed several places but like the location of the Kelly Inn. Not to close but not to far, good bar especially on St. Patty's Day. The link is http://www.bestwesternstpaul.com/ The nice thing is they allow reservations a year in advance with no deposit. Quote
Sioux-per Villain Posted February 14, 2007 Posted February 14, 2007 I prefer suite level myself... Quote
LFSPRO Posted February 14, 2007 Posted February 14, 2007 We were in the Wild Suite for the WI vs UND game last year, it was fun. Nice not having to stand in line for restroom. Would have been even more fun if I would not have had TO MUCH FUN at the Thursday night game! Quote
Sioux-cia Posted February 15, 2007 Posted February 15, 2007 Don't talk about me that way! I am not a nice person. You're a schweety!!!! (Albeit a slightly intoxicated one but a schweety none the less.) Quote

We had some @$$whole throw stuff at us after we celebrated a goal when we played Wisconsin. It was a one time deal and I think it came from the Wisconsin band actually. Good idea. I thought about going up there and beating the crap out of them but nothings worse than a crying Goofer fan. I made one cry with words only a few years ago, not a pretty sight. Quote
TinyTimmay Posted February 15, 2007 Posted February 15, 2007 In the past, we've stayed at the Four Points Sheraton in, I think Roseville, just north of downtown Minny. It's about 7 miles or so away from the X, so it's not usually to bad of a drive. Just wanted to get closer than we usually were but I think at this point getting any room would be solid. Does St. Pattys day land on one of the days of the Final 5 again ? Can't get any better than donning the Sioux green on St. Pattys day and cheering on the Sioux. Quote

siouxguyinstpaul Posted February 15, 2007 Posted February 15, 2007 Final game day is Saturday, March 17, 2007!! I'm in the parade every year - walking with Metro Transit and sporting my Kelly Green jersey to many boos (but a few cheers as well) Quote
HockeyMom Posted February 15, 2007 Posted February 15, 2007 We're at the Radisson City Center. Now, if I only had tickets...... Quote
siouxguyinstpaul Posted February 16, 2007 Posted February 16, 2007 My wife is going to North Carolina again that weekend which means I have a ticket available if interested. C25 - row2 - seat 11/12 (on the aisle) Quote
Blackheart Posted February 16, 2007 Posted February 16, 2007 We're at the Radisson City Center. Now, if I only had tickets...... there should be plenty of tickets available after the Goofs lose their Home WCHA playoff series.... Quote
