    Tickets to game vs UND

    Hi Panther Fans,

    I am a loyal Bison fan and live in the Twin Cities and am thinking I would like to come down and see the Panther pound UND into the ground (It's been a few years since I've gotten to see that). And I would also like to see your team play, see your facility, campus and watch another top tier program play. But I am not yet sure if I will be able to make it that weekend or not.

    So my question is will this game likely sell out and if so how early? I might as well ask what the best choices are for hotels which are close to the nightlife in town (college nightlife)?

    Thanks. Good luck this season and hopefully see you in September!

    The tickets will not sell out...at least history shows that a D2 game doesn't tend to sell out. You will be able to purchage tickets at the door. Tailgating info will be provided on these boards usually the week of the game. Hotel info can be found at this website (click on lodging): http://unipanthers.cstv.com/travel/niwa-travel.html

    There really isn't a hotel close to the nightlife near 'The Hill' (UNI's college night life), but the nightlife tends to be moving down towards Downtown Main Street area, in which there are still no hotels close by, outside of the Blackhawk Hotel (but that will run you over $100/night). Best bet would be the Country Inn and Suites (the closest to all nightlife...about 1 mile), AmericInn, or Holiday Inn. Looking for cheap? The University Inn (but do book early, b/c they tend to fill up way in advance).

      Also, it might be of interest that UNI plays Alabama in volleyball at 12:30PM that same day, which will be a great match (you have to check out a UNI volleyball game...it's seriously a thing of beauty....2000 people packed to watch the Panthers play in a small, old gym).

      Also, SDSU plays UNI the following weekend in football, and the following day, the Panthers take on the Bison in volleyball. You might want to make plans for that. http://unipanthers.cstv.com/sports/w...ley-sched.html

        Whenever I come up from Des Moines for a game and decide to spend the night, I stay at the Wingate Inn that is south of the dome on Hudson Road.

        It's a nice, new little hotel with continental breakfast and a nice indoor pool.
        Winning is more fun than losing.

          Thanks for the replies, and although I'm not a big volleyball guy I might have to take in a match.

          I would like to watch the game against SDSU but NDSU has a home game that weekend. Rocky Hager (coach of the Bison through most of the 90's) is coming back to Fargo as the coach of Northeastern, should be a fun weekend.

          This is a pretty nice fan site, I'll have to become a troll and follow the Gateway Conf. happenings here.

            I would like to do the same things that you mention doing in Cedar Falls in Fargo. (Did that sentence make sense??)

            I've never been there, but have heard wonderful things about the city and the Fargodome.

            How cool would it be if UNI and NDSU would start scheduling each other??
            peace

              It's a nice city and the Fargodome is a great facility (NDSU has just spent a little over $3 million in privately raised funds to upgrade the locker room, film rooms and such) but it could use more true football fans in it on game days and less people who are there for a social event.

              If you decide to make a road trip up to NDSU send me a message and I can help you out with hotels or whatever.

              I would love to see UNI and NDSU do a home and home. I think the Gateway would be a great home for NDSU football. On this same topic there is a new thread over on www.bisonville.com talking about WKU possibly moving up to the Sun Belt and how great it would be if NDSU could replace them in the Gateway.

                Regarding good prices on motels, I've discovered the Trails End Lodge, downtown, right behind the Black Hawk. Used to be a dump before, but, now it's a really good place. Very clean. Nice owners/staff. Easy one block walk from downtown bars/restaurants. Cedar Falls' hidden gem.

                Last I was there (for the EWU game), a room was only $44 or something like that. They may go as low as $39 for a single bed. I recommend it highly.

                Just as close, or closer, to the Dome than most other motels/hotels.

                  Hey Panther Nation,

                  Big Sioux fan here, looking forward to the UND-UNI matchup in a couple weeks. Unfortunately, I won't be able to make the trek to the UNI-Dome, so I was wondering if UNI webcasts its football games? Good Luck to UNI this season. I've always casually followed your program and it was fun watching an ex-member of the NCC and former rival of North Dakota play in the Division I-AA National Championship game last year.

                    Audio webcasts are available at www.unipanthers.com but there is no video webcast.

                      So what exactly is the deal with UND? Are they D2 or I-AA? Are they one of those transitioning programs?

                        They will be D2 this season and start the transition next year.

                          Yep. UND will be a DII program for the next two years, although they officially start the transition process during the 2007-08 season. 2008-09 will be their first year as a DI school. I hope to see the Panthers on the schedule in alot of different sports in the future!

                            Looks like the Sioux fans will be coming in full force to the game.

                              Just a few questions:

                              It sounds like the group that is bussing down together will be staying at the Ramada Inn. Is this located in Cedar Falls or in Waterloo? Is it close to the Dome? Anyone know how I could get ahold of them?

                              Also, are there any big attractions in the area that are a can't miss while in town?

                              Thanks.
