We may start a wait list if we fill the smaller bus. We just can't automatically jump to a bigger bus unless we have the support to cover the increase of cost. Great problem to have if you ask me.

I would check with the ticket office to see if they have any.

Re: 2008 UNI Football Bus Trips

For those driving down and interesed on where to find the bus it sounds like we will be parking/tailgaiting in the yellow lots south of SIU Arena and south of the stadium(Lot 18 or 56). We are going to try to be in the lot a little after 4pm, but it depends on how quickly we make it down. Here is a link to the campus parking map.

According to public safety tailgaiting is allowed, but no glass containers. No cost to park in the yellow lot either.

Re: 2008 UNI Football Bus Trips

Looks like the bus is now going to park behind the stadium instead of the yellow lot. It appears we will be parking by the team buses. At SIU the students sit on what you would thinks is the visitors side and the UNI seats are on what you would call the home side. We will park behind the visitor section and our seats are in section "B". Hope that makes sense.

I was also advised tailgaiting lots open 1.5 hours before the game starts for those driving down.

Wow....nothing like hurrying up to set up your stuff....zap your food on the grill and then hurry up and tear down so you can make the kickoff.

We complain because we have only four hours to tailgate before kickoff!

Just got off the phone with the SIU ticket office. They said they have 300-400 tickets left in the visitors section (section B) and will be selling them tomorrow at gate 1 (SW corner of stadium) from 9:00am-kickoff.

This is probably your best option if you don't want to spend an extra $5 per ticket on a ticketmaster charge, as the SIU ticket office doesn't take phone orders.

No phone orders? & people whine about the UNI ticket office!

Do they still use this...
