sioux7>5 Posted April 1, 2008 Posted April 1, 2008 what days of travel, and when did you book them? I am leaving Wednesday morning and returning Sunday. I think we bought the a month ago. We were going regardless. I know that is not much help now that I think about it. But just letting you know what we got. Quote
AZSIOUX Posted April 1, 2008 Posted April 1, 2008 Unless more than one airline is headed out at the same time, I'm pretty sure I'm on that same flight cool, if you see me and my buddy passed out at the bar by the terminal come and tap me on the shoulder JK we are on flight 493 - us airways Quote

I know that is not much help now that I think about it. But just letting you know what we got. I got gas at $1.29/gal too...but that was back in '02. Tickets yesterday out of MSP were anywhere from $700-800! Quote
Shawn-O Posted April 1, 2008 Posted April 1, 2008 what days of travel, and when did you book them? I booked Thursday early morning out, Sunday late afternoon back for $550 through United. You're not going to do any better than that at this point. I tried cobbling together flights via Midway on Southwest, etc. That's the situation right now. WorldPerks isn't going to get you there either, unless you have about 75,000 miles to burn. Quote

I think we are on the same flight back to MSP, maybe the same flight out. I am driving down from GF Wednesday night. I am trying to figure out a place to park...any suggestions from the "experts"? Is it better to go with a Park and Fly outfit? Some hotels have a "Stay and Fly" deal where you can leave your vehicle there and take their shuttle to the airport. Has anyone tried this? Thanks for any help! OR...any really amazing Sioux fan willing to let me park my car at their house? (kidding, kidding) Quote

Siouxman Posted April 1, 2008 Posted April 1, 2008 Sometimes you can fly cheaper out of Sioux Falls than you can from MSP. Illogical but it usually works. Quote
AussieSiouxFan Posted April 1, 2008 Posted April 1, 2008 This has prob already been said but I came across some useful info yesterday in regards to accommodation. If you get the official frozen four program from the official frozen four website, it has a list of hotels with special frozen four fan rates. I saved myself $25 per night with the rate I found. Just thought I'd share to try and help people get cheaper accommodation so we can all spend the saved money on alcohol Quote
sioux7>5 Posted April 1, 2008 Posted April 1, 2008 Where are people staying at? I am at the Redlion, anyone else? Quote
AussieSiouxFan Posted April 1, 2008 Posted April 1, 2008 Where are people staying at? I am at the Redlion, anyone else? I am staying at the four points by sheraton. I just looked, I don't know how much u are paying for the red lion but the FF Fan rate is $99 a night if u quote the promo code: Frzn Quote
roadkillstew Posted April 1, 2008 Posted April 1, 2008 Where are people staying at? I am at the Redlion, anyone else? Cherry Creek, Been Checking the Loin for weeks and has been sold out. Quote
passit_offthegoalie Posted April 1, 2008 Posted April 1, 2008 We had minors on the bus to Madison (high school boys) and Al watched them. But I think if you are a college kids...anything can happen! Al Henry? Yeah, you wouldn't dream of underage drinking in his presence. I know, I had him in Track, X- Country, and Hockey(and civics). He's quite the character. Quote
siouxweet Posted April 2, 2008 Posted April 2, 2008 Where are people staying at? I am at the Redlion, anyone else? Cherry Creek Holiday Inn. Quote
RedFrog Posted April 2, 2008 Posted April 2, 2008 Quality Inn Central, wife had enough points to get us 3 nights free and the last night cost us $65 I think? Only about 3 miles from the Pepsi Center. Free shuttle service in a 5 mile radius. Doesn't appear to have the best reviews, but we're not planning on spending too much time in the room. Also conveniently located at I-25/I-70 junction. Quote

If you fly back on Monday you'll save a couple hundred dollars. At least that's what the rates were showing when I was looking on Sunday night. Quote
nodak hockey fanatic Posted April 2, 2008 Posted April 2, 2008 we're staying at the sheraton four points. can't wait!!!! i want to see some old time fighting sioux hockey at the pepsi center. LETS GO SIOUX!!!!! Quote
siouxyeahyeah Posted April 2, 2008 Posted April 2, 2008 I just booked a flight from Fargo to Colorado Springs for $450 which included a car rental for the duration of my stay. Fly out dawn on Thurs and back dawn on Monday. It works great for me because I know people to stay with in The Springs and just have to pay for gas/parking when I go to the games. Try northwest - on their main page go to "fare promotions" and click on "last minute packages." No flights to Denver but for $450 with a car when everything else was nearing 1000 bucks I'll take driving the hour up to Denver. I'm totally stoked! This is my first Frozen Four...already went to the Final Five this year and the regional in Madtown. Denver will give me the postseason Sioux hockey sweep! GO SIOUX!! See you all there! Quote
Povey18 Posted April 2, 2008 Posted April 2, 2008 Whats everybody's plans before the semi game with BC Quote
hky Posted April 2, 2008 Posted April 2, 2008 Whats everybody's plans before the semi game with BC I'm sure the Fighting Sioux Club will arrange a pre-party somewhere. Quote
Siouxmama Posted April 2, 2008 Posted April 2, 2008 Al Henry? Yeah, you wouldn't dream of underage drinking in his presence. I know, I had him in Track, X- Country, and Hockey(and civics). He's quite the character. Had him for a teacher as well, and he was my brothers hockey coach. Great guy, but you had better mind your p's and q's. Quote
UND123 Posted April 2, 2008 Posted April 2, 2008 Had him for a teacher as well, and he was my brothers hockey coach. Great guy, but you had better mind your p's and q's. There must be a bunch of us on this forum from Devils Lake as I also had Al for Civics my freshman year! Quote
star2city Posted April 2, 2008 Posted April 2, 2008 Frontier Airlines is still showing some reasonable fares (still) from MSP-DEN ($380) and SUX (Sioux City)-DEN ($238). For fans closer to those cities, it might be reasonable. Was actually able to use frequent flyer miles to get tickets to Denver (coming from the Gulf Coast, seats are more available). Quote
AZSIOUX Posted April 2, 2008 Posted April 2, 2008 Whats everybody's plans before the semi game with BC there will be a big party at some sort of bar downtown or hotel ball room Quote
und_hky Posted April 2, 2008 Posted April 2, 2008 Whats everybody's plans before the semi game with BC I got this off the Alumni website..... Where: Brooklyn Quote
