2008 UNI Football Bus Trips

Re: 2008 UNI Football Bus Trips

Sounds like a great plan!
And I don't recall any bus trips being put together for playoff games in the past (probably too tough to organize on such short notice, which is certainly understandable), so you're not really stepping on anyone's toes.

My wife and I would be interested!

Excellent and your interest is noted. Will contact by post or PM when closer to date. Even though I do not partake of the spirited beverage, doesn't mean I am not a fun and fun lovin sort of guy. I did this with a large bus at Marshall semi final game and had a great experience. Hotel rooms were a little iffy, but, have learned to stay with Holiday Inn Express or comparable. With 12 fans in a 15 passenger van, we should have a fun and "fairly" comfortable ride.

I would be interested too. I dunno if the local radio station in Des Moines, KXnO would do anything or not but my ass is going to be in Chattanooga no matter what. I have no problem heading up to Cedar Falls to catch the bus/van.

Yes, we MAY have room for you. I will PM you some specific details.

Response has been good and we have more than 12 indicate interest. Commits have been made and will confirm with payments after Saturday's game. I do have a second van on "standby" and if we have 10 more people and someone (s) willing to drive, we could have two vans going. I know the Alumni Association is organizing bus and plane, so, if interested in somewhat longer trip, but, more comfort you might want to contact them.

Go Panthers, baby!!! It will be fun and LOUD in the dome Saturday!!!

Re: 2008 UNI Football Bus Trips

flipping through the radio while driving for work, I caught the end of an ad mentioning that one of the local radio stations was planning a bus trip if UNI wins this weekend. I think it was on one of the Cumulus stations, but I cant' find any details on it online yet.

Re: 2008 UNI Football Bus Trips

I've heard the same ad. It is Cumulus and they said they're tentatively planning an affordable bus trip. They said to call 833-4800 to put your name on the list.

You mean $800 plane rides and $400 bus trips aren't affordable?

And what's with $400 each no matter if you need 1 room or 4? I don't get that. Hopefully common sense would prevail and there would be an option for # of rooms needed.

Having put together two bus trips, I know the process is just much less complicated if you can set one price and make it work for everyone. Of course, I am just an overzealous Panther fan and NOT a travel/tour professional. I can tell you that I had a trip planned this year for Chattanooga to include; Windstar Coach Bus, double occupany hotel room for one night, and game tickets for $295 per person. This was planned with the anticipation of selling 44 of 49 seats. However, when I heard that the Athletic Department and Alumni Association would be putting trips together, I elected not to follow through.

We will, however, have a great trip with our 12 fun lovin and excited Panther Fans in our 15 passenger van.

We will be LOUD and proud in the Unidome, tomorrow!!!!!!!!!!

Re: 2008 UNI Football Bus Trips

I'm going to unstick this thread unless someone has reason to leave it up. A new one will start for next year as soon as games become known.
