  • Team travel arrangements..A few questions

    I'm just curious here but had a few questions:
    1) When is the team leaving
    2) Do they have a chartered flight directly into Missoula?
    3) Do they transport all of the equipment with them on the flight or does a truck take it out in advance?

    My buddies and I were discussing this on the ride home on Sat night and I said I'd post on here to find out

    Thanks!

    Not sure how you guys travel, but it's all in one trip on one plane for us.

      The team will take a charter flight to Montana, probably on Thursday morning. An equipment truck will leave Wednesday after practice for Montana and will have the locker room ready to go when players arrive. They will fly directly into Missoula.

          Interesting. I don't believe with the exception of the Title game in 05' that UNI has ever left more than the day before the game.

          I know that when we went out there in 01' that we left Friday afternoon for a Saturday morning game. We didn't even get to go inside the stadium until we got there on Saturday for the game. I would assume that anything that was done then, will be done differently now, if anything just to switch things up...

            Talking to someone after the game on Saturday I asked them how they were going to transport the equipment they said they would tranport it on the plane as they were worried about road conditions and length of travel time.

                    No. We have no room for an airport. (We're in the middle of the Rockies you know). All Panther fans, equipped with a parachute, will land on a pad cleared of trees near the Clark Fork River. Those unfortunate enough to land in the river will be retrieved by campus security and dispatched to The Press Box ( a nearby watering hole, not the stadium p b) where they'll be supplied with a warm blankie and boilermakers...maybe taking the bus or thumbing it to Missoula aren't bad options?

                          Does every post on here have to turn into an argument? Good God, I swear you Montana people have no life at all.....Are you really that bored out there?? Amped up on Mountain Dew? Undersexed? Oversexed with sheep? Tired of looking at your wife dressed in flannel? What's your excuse??

                          It was a simple and legit question...
                          Are we going to fly directly in Missoula??
                          Many times, when teams fly, they'll fly into another airport and drive the remaining distance. Especially when traveling way the hell out to nowhereville
