    PantherNation Bus Trip to Carbondale!!!

    I am going to check into getting a bus for this game. We are looking at what it would run to take a bus down on Friday, get a hotel Friday night, and come back after the game. I have talked to 6 couples so far that would be interested if the price is right.

    Would anyone else consider? We could also make a stop in the Iowa City and the St. Louis areas to pick up more people. Bus would originate in
    Cedar Falls.

      I would be game to take a bus to Carbondale, I will talk to my fiance if she would like to join as well. But how about making a stop in Cedar Rapids??

      If you figure out more details I can talk to some of my college friends and see if they would be interested in going as well.

        I'd be interested as well....however with the game scheduled at 3 pm we wouldn't get home until after 2 am.

        Maybe we could leave early Saturday and stay Saturday night and drive home Sunday.

          Also a great option. We would need to leave around 5am on Saturday???

          We could also stop in CR.

              JC and I will do our best to make this happen. It's all about if we can get a reasonable deal and we can fill the bus. We are starting now so we can block rooms if it's a go.

                I have gotten one quote back for a bus trip to Carbondale November 11th.

                With 47 passengers:
                -Leave CF 5am on the 11th(Saturday).
                -Can stop in CR/IC/STL to pick up more people.
                -Would come back around 7am to 8am on the 12th(Sunday)
                -Cost per person not including a ticket to the game or your hotel would be around $57 per person plus a tip for the driver.(Based on a full bus)

                After I get more quotes back the "wheeling and dealing" will begin. I just wanted to give you an idea about how much we would be looking at for this trip.

                I don't have a price for a hotel, but the Hampton Inn in Marion, IL has rooms, but I am waiting on a group rate. Marion is just up the road from Carbondale. They also have an Applebees next to the hotel for our late night victory party.

                  I would be in for the trip. I will check with D Grant and others.

                    I would also be interested in this but only if the bus will make a stop in IC/CR.
                    I was planning to drive myself to this one but it would be a whole lot more fun to go with fellow Panther fanatics.

                      I couldn't see a problem with the bus stopping in IC/CR. We will see what the final cost are and then make sure we can fill the bus. I know we are starting early, but too many bus trips I have been on start too late and end up half empty. If we can get a good deal and plan ahead I know we have alot of Panther fans that want to make this trip.

                        A bus trip to Carbondale is also something my wife and I would be interested in taking a look at when there are some firm price numbers.

                          There is a Hampton Inn in Carbondale....plus don't forget the brand new Holiday Inn they built right behind the Hampton.

                            OK....Alleycat has been doing some serious wheeling and dealing and it looks like we can get the trip for well under $140 per person.....SIU is giving us a good deal on tickets and Alleycat was able to secure rooms for $70 bucks at the Hampton Inn.

                            Now we are talking with the PSC people about making this thing a reality. We need to have at least 40 people signed up and PAID 3 weeks in advance or it's a no go.

                            Now...check your schedules and let us know who is definitely interested!!
