2008 UNI Football Bus Trips

Re: 2008 UNI Football Bus Trips

Hey for those traveling down who still need tickets we may have a few extras. Look for the Nortwest Iowa tour bus. The price is $19 per ticket and you will need the exact amount. I can't discount the price since we need to turn this money into the UNI ticket office when we get back. See above for our bus location, or PM before 10pm tonight if you have any questions, or need my cell.

exact amount, or have a $20 and be willing to donate the extra dollar.

I like that.....a handling fee.

Re: 2008 UNI Football Bus Trips

Hey Alleycat and JCPanther....any updates on the Western Illinois and Indiana State trips? I know you said earlier that Western was a "go" for sure. Any chance of it being a two bus trip? Hope the latter will go also. After the enjoyable trip to SIU, I would hate to drive all that way when someone else can do it for me...

WIU is a go. We are looking at a second smaller bus if needed and are waiting for a quote. We have a few on a wait list, but there possible will be some people drop out and we may just take one full bus!!!!

ISU still needs 10 more people to go to make it happen with the bus we have now. The bus company just purchased a brand new 29 seat bus which likely would be cheaper so we are still waiting on the quote from the bus company.

We will post updates soon.

Remind them to check the AC system before leaving.

Though perhaps it isn't as much of an issue as we progress into fall.

Indeed. Kudos to Travis.

Personally, I didn't think the climate on the bus was all that bad. But then, I was in the front and had a seat to myself. I've heard that it was a bit warmer/stuffier towards the back.

Re: 2008 UNI Football Bus Trips

Actually, despite the HVAC "issues" it really only got warm when we all stopped along the road to talk about how we should go about getting the AC fixed....as long as we kept moving it was quite comfy in the back. It was a great trip no matter what the temp, with the exception of that 3.5 hour hiatus in Carbondale...

Re: 2008 UNI Football Bus Trips

Don't mean to be in competition with PN, however, here is another transportation option. Designed for a group of 10-12 fans in a 15 passenger van. Destination is Chattanooga. We will leave early Saturday morning from CF and drive straight to Chatty with overnight in Chatty area after the game. Hope to arrrive in Chatty early enough to enjoy some pre-game activities. Will start return trip around mid morning on Sunday. Trip will include transportation, game ticket, double occupancy room, and beverages/snacks/sandwiches on the van. Food and drink will be provided so we can limit the number of stops during the trip. The co-pilot and I are both non-drinkers and will share the drive duties. Estimating high, the cost per person will be approximately $145. This trip could run for playoff destinations, also. If interested, post reply or send PM.

If you are talking about championship game and you are leaving on Saturday you will be a day late.

Thanks. The trip will take place on "day of game." Departure for return will be the next morning. Thanks, again, for the clarification.
