I know there have been many people who posted about going in the "How do we get there?" thread and the "Pep Band to Minnesota" thread, but just to condense it down: Who's going to be there?
I'm going with my parents, staying at the Radisson City Center (or some such thing) in St. Paul - got a good last-minute package deal on site59.com. My parents were coming down to visit next weekend for Easter anyway, so now we're all just going to hop on a plane in DFW and hit Minny instead! They both have Cornell AND UMinn degrees, so they're looking forward to checking out their old stomping grounds.
See you at the Mooch!

From the central Iowa contingent, I have PhD qualifier exams on Saturday, so I WOULD be there, but can definitely make it if we play on Sunday.

Lord, how I wish I could go - and I too found those incredible NWA deals, including a room at the Radisson City Center (which is owned by a Cornellian, btw). But I'm now in the depths of trying to fight off the flu, and I can't imagine justifying the extra expense and the time out of town right now. If I have to make the decision by 4pm tomorrow because that's when Cornell sends the rest of the tickets back, the decision is going to be "no."
Now they'd better goddamn well get this freakin' game on television.

If I can convince my friends to undergo the car trip with me, I would really really like to go. I really regret not getting to Providence two years ago, and I don't want to make the same mistake twice.

My advice to people on the fence about taking the plunge and going to Minnesota:
Just Do It.
Commit yourself to the ticket and don't look back. It may be rough, it may be pricey, it may even be really crazy, but it's always going to be worth it. If you're not doing anything this weekend other than your normal routine (or heck, even your normal Easter routine if you swing that way), there's no excuse good enough to keep you from doing it.
I've done the insane one-day-only cross country flight for hockey (to Vancouver, in fact). I was harassed by the border patrol for four hours, I had no hotel room and almost no money, I slept on a park bench downtown in the pouring rain (I don't recommend that part) and got kicked out of McDonalds because they thought I was a homeless freeloader, but when I got in that rink in row 7 almost at ice level, it was worth it. When I saw that 1-0 victory that turned the season back around (until the playoffs anyway...), it was worth it. I know that doing the same crazy road trip for a playoff game--a Cornell playoff game--would be THAT much sweeter.
And now you know that your pep band manager is certifiably insane.

All it took was a CC number and a click of the mouse and now there's no looking back.

I am so f'ing jealous of all of you. I hope that there is a place to watch the game in Iowa City.
Hell, I hope I can find a place to watch the 12:30 AM tape delay in Iowa City. (I can avoid the information until then, right?)

Bring home a couple of wins. Wish we were joining you.
1,000 people hating you in Cambridge? ROFLMAO. I'll bet both of Harvard's fans were elsewhere today. Skinny naked guy was probably off buying more makeup to cover his wimpy bod. And button-down asshole was probably getting his shirts (or would that be shorts) heavily starched.
We'll look for you on the tube, if they decide to show the game.

There's a Champps Sports Bar at 100 North 6th St., in the downtown area right by the Target Center. The only Champps I've been to was in the Chicago south suburbs for Week 17 of the NFL season and it was excellent with lots of TV's, usually in clusters of three, and a very accomodating staff.
I'm not scheduled to land until 7:15 but may go over there to check out the end of the late hockey games. It also says on the internet that they've got wi-fi, so you can stay in touch with elynah from there.
