Minnesota Game Starts at 11:00 A.M.

Re: Minnesota Game Starts at 11:00 A.M.

Here are my two cents on getting tickets based on what I've observed in the first 4 home games at The Bank.

• Not trying to flame or disrespect your team, but this will be the least sought-after ticket of the year.
• Like any other event/venue, ticket brokers (stubhub, etc) bought up some of the available tickets and have them available online and whatever they don't sell beforehand, they'll be scalping out in front of the stadium.
• if the weather is cold/rainy, there will obviously be more tickets available than if the weather is nice.
• likewise, if the Gophers can win 2+ out of the next 4 games (Penn St, Ohio St, Michigan St & Illinois), then people would be less likely to sell their tickets.
• if you see a game on tv and see empty seats in the upper corners of the student section, don't assume that the attendance is poor - building code requires bench seats to be 18" wide or wider. What we've found out, though, is that students have narrower butts than that and are squeezing in down in lower rows rather than sitting up high
• I think there should be seats from scalpers available for $20-$40 per seat before the game and even the "bad" seats are good in this stadium
• You should also check craigslist - which is heavily used in the twin cities
• Also, the biggest Minnesota fan forum has a tickets page at: http://boards.gopherhole.com/boards/...isplay.php?f=9
• If you buy tickets in the student section, keep in mind that they do random checks to make sure that the person entering has a valid U of M student ID
• Have fun in Minneapolis
• Go Gophers!

Excellent information. Facts should never be mistaken as disrespect or "flamage". Looking forward to checking out the new stadium.

Why not just go to the basketball game and drive up in morning for the football game like I am!

Best of both worlds!

This is on the list of no-nos at TCF Bank Stadium: - Noisemaking devices

I suppose that includes cowbells, damn the luck. If not, I was thinking we should all grab our dusty cowbells and annoy some Gopher fans with them.

Mississippi State fans can still clag their cowbells. Wish we could.

I have two tickets to the Gopher game and am 1500 miles South of University Ave. Seats are in the SDSU section, Sec 217. Row31, Seats 18 & 19. No charge, but you better yell loud! Also, I expect you to write a suitable check to the Jackrabbit Club, put it in an envelope with the correct address and postage on it and drop it in an active mail box.

PM me with your address and a picture of your first born and they will be in the mail in the morning!

Go Jacks, R.

Jottings

The Gophers can clinch a bowl position by beating Illinois on Saturday. However, the following week they can improve their bowl position by beating South Dakota State, a team ranked No. 9 in Division I-AA that won't be a pushover. The Jackrabbits have a 7-1 record and one of their victories was over Northern Iowa, a team that went to the wire with Iowa before losing.

I think ol' being the operative word here. His weekend call in show is hilarious. If you don't see it Sid's way you're wrong. If you do you are his best buddy from way back.

Re: Minnesota Game Starts at 11:00 A.M.

There are tickets to the SDSU/Minnesota football game Nov. 14 available on the Gophers Web site. Some are near the SDSU sections, others are better seats...including some $500 ones, I think. If you still need tickets, you can grab some there.

www.gophersports.com

I'm 99.5 percent sure that's the right Web site.

GO JACKS!

Its a fun show to listen too, and since I am not into the Twins or the Vikings too much nor have any feelings towards the U of M, his show through a walkman radio makes walking go fast on Sunday mornings.
