2008 UNI Football Bus Trips

[alleycat]

We are ready to publish the cost of approaching PSC Football Bus Trips. The first trip will take us to Carbondale. We plan on spending the night in the Mt. Vernon, IL area after the game. Departure times are subject to change and we have a minimum number of people that must attend to make the trips happen.(You will not be charged if the bus doesn't go). All trip prices include a game ticket if needed and you will be responsible for booking your own hotel room(we will provide you hotel info once you have confirmed your seat on the bus).

For those not riding the bus who need tickets please contact the visiting ticket offce and ask to be seated in the UNI section. We will only be purchasing game tickets for those riding on the bus. Deadline to sign up for the SIU trip is 9/12. All trips will have a 2 week deadline prior to departure so we can lock in/confirm the bus with the charter company. If interested please PM JCPanthers, or Alleycat for more details, or to confirm your seat on the bus. Everyone is welcome to attend and this is a great way to meet some Panther fanatics.

I will be posting info on the Western Illinois and Indiana State bus trips soon.

Awesome.
Anyone wanting to split a hotel room for the SIU game? I don't even need a bed, as I'm happy grabbing a bit of floor.

Re: 2008 UNI Football Bus Trips

I've never been to SIU, but WIU is a good place to catch a game. Especially if you are a UNI fan. We had a great crowd last year. WIU is an easy stadium to take over.

Trips are off to a good start. Less than 10 so far for SIU, 1/4 of the bus is already full for WIU and less than 10 for Indiana State. The Western bus should fill. I believe the PSC is sending out a flyer with the fall mailing so we should get an influx of request soon.

Re: 2008 UNI Football Bus Trips

That's exciting. Hope to see more people on board. We'd love to see more fans on the road.

Re: 2008 UNI Football Bus Trips

FYI... We will stop in Cedar Rapids for all three trips to pick up fans.

3 more signed up for WIU today and 4 more signed up for ISU and SIU after my earlier post. I am telling you....the WIU trip will be full. Book early folks.

Re: 2008 UNI Football Bus Trips

So if I'm reading this right a game ticket at Indiana St. costs $4? Even at a group ticket rate that seems cheap.. I don't think you can get into an Iowa High School game for that.
