I'm going and driving from Lafayette, IN. Willing to help transport any Lynah Faithful from Central IN (i.e. if you can get a good deal on a flight into INDY) or Chicago.

I can take 1 or 2 people. The games are Saturday/Sunday. First game is at 1:30 Central time.

Email or PM for details.

I haven't figured how I'm getting there, yet, but I've got my ticket:  Section 202, Row C, seat 13.

But hopefully, I'll be able to sit in the Cornell section like last year.

LGR!


Rita

I'm in MEZZ 225 row Z seat 9. Also hoping to sit in the Cornell Section.

For those of you coming from SE PA or S. Jersey, I found a decent fare from Philly on Southwest to Chicago (Midway) - $255.

Other than that, it was $400 to Milwaukee and $500+ to GB - both on Midwest Airlines from either Newark or Philly.

Another one I found:

I searched NWA.com for LGA to Milwaukee, and they have $227 promo fares.  You leave Friday morning, return Monday afternoon or evening. Some long layovers mixed in there, but you can't beat the price.

I can't possibly take both Friday and Monday off, so enjoy!

LET'S GO RED!!

Next question: Where to stay? Does anyone have any leads (preferably with free internet)? The Best Western right near the  arena is all booked.

It does seem that the hockey rink-Resch Center is right next door to "The Frozen Tundra". So that settles the "what to do on Sunday morning question", at least for me  :-). They have stadium tours on Sunday March 26th, and the packer hall of fame opens at 9:00 am anyone interested?

The Days Inn near the Resch Ctr. is also booked.

I booked a room at the Motel 6 off the Shawano Ave. exit of Rte. 41.  $30/nite.  What can I say...I'm cheap.  I doubt they have internet, tho.

Hotwire shows some options in Green Bay around 60/night and others southwest of the city cheaper.

Hotwire is always a crapshoot, but it can certainly save you money. www.betterbidding.com might be able to help out, but I doubt they have much info on Green Bay hotels.

I also booked a room at the Motel6. It's got two beds, so if anyone wants to split it, that's fine with me.

Rita

I got a room at the Baymont Inn, 2 miles from the Resch Center on South Oneida Street. AAA rate of $65/night and free continental breakfast, high-speed internet and in-room  coffee maker/ water heater for tea :-).

Ack and I just booked a great deal through travelocity's last minute packages for Saturday-Monday (Saturday and Sunday night hotel stay).  The hotel is 30 minutes away from the rink, however.  We are wondering if anyone with car access is willing to stay with us in Appleton for very cheap.

Does anyone know if the band is going?  

The Cornell ticket office is still working out the details, but they think tickets will go on sale Tuesday (3/21) -- around noon.

That's the plan, but it all depends on the bus company's availability. :-P
