2011 Gopher Game... Let the Planning Begin

[OhFourGopher]

For those pissing and moaning over the lack of parking- tailgating for the visitors here is a hint. The home teams dont give a shit about visitors. They take care of THEIR fans-donors first. Get used to it.

Exactly. There are plenty of parking spots, and 95% of season ticket holders also own passes for tailgating/parking. Just don't be a dumbass and buy a ticket without a place to park.

Keep talking smart and we'll kick your ass good this time! We travel better than WI and Iowa and you should expect to see a lot of NDSU colors in the new stadium like the last 2 times we were there.

Let's see, 95% of 1000 is 950. That should leave plenty of parking spots one would think.

I called the Days Inn myself after reading what OhFourGopher had to say. I was told people can gather in the Days Inn lot, but absolutely no alcohol allowed in their lot. They will call the police if the rules are broken.

It is 2.14 miles from TCF stadium to the very southwest edge of the faigrounds, and 2.84 miles to the center of the fairgrounds. Too far to walk.

There is a 2 minute free direct shuttle from the Fairgrounds that runs all day. Lots of season ticket holders park there. You don't have to walk. It's your best bet for a big, central, Bison party. far away from me

I love how you guys are trying to pick a fight with me after I let you know your plans won't work out and actually called the Days Inn to confirm. Something nobody even thought of checking into.

FYI, Season tickets were sold out the last two years, even with a horrible team for the past 60 years.

I am not trying to pick a fight with you. We contacted the Days Inn to ask about tailgaiting--with the generally understood assumption that "tailgaiting" includes alcohol. Obviously U of M fans "tailgait" a little differently, much like your FB team plays a little differently and gets beat.

Sold out?? Why so many empty seats???

Thanks for contributing your infinite wisdom PL.

Since you seemed confused
---every year where ever we go there is always some yahoo who cant understand WHY there just isnt anyplace for visitors to park or tailgate. Plus they cant understand WHY the home school hasnt made such arrangements for their presence. Then said yahoo goes off on a rant about how the school sucks etc etc etc because his sorry ass isnt allowed to park closer to the stadium. Hope that helps.

I called and asked if they allowed tailgating, they said no. Which goes along with your assumption that drinking=tailgating. You also won't be allowed to use Charcoal grills. It's not the University's rule, it's the City of Minneapolis.

Why so many empty seats? The team sucked.

I'll tell you there were plenty more then 12,000 (67%) for every game(Southern Illinois, Robert Morris). What's your excuse? How many season ticket holders do the Bison have with the recent "success"?

[lakesbison]

10,000 season tix in a 105,000 city

40,000 season tix in a 2,400,000 city

figure out which is which.
