Green Bay Regional

[mrs63]

I'm surprised I haven't seen the avalanche of messages in this thread like we saw last year for Minnesota.  I've got family out in GB so I'll be going (no lodging/rental car fees, whoohoo!)... but is anyone else making the trip out?

[jy3]

i wish we could. might not be able to listen to the game or watch it live
we shall see.

some places to get cheap flights/hotels
flights:
mobissimo.com - does not search jet blue, iair, southwest.
priceline is always worth a check
hotwire
orbitz, travelocity, etc.

hotels:
same as above + hotels.com

I'll add kayak.com to that list.  They're my favorite site for travel.

From NYC, MSP for $200 and perfect flight schedules last year was almost a no-brainer. Unfortunately, Green Bay is a couple of degrees tougher than Minnesota to get to, and get to for a reasonable amount.

I'm taking the "I'd rather not spend $400+ to go West again to see us lose, but in the chance we make it through the regional, I'm ready to spring for Milwaukee" mentality.

[quote Anne 85]Does anyone know if the band is going?

We will be there in force... well, as forceful as one can be with 25 people after a 16 hour bus ride. While this trip is not as financially straining (or unprecendented) as the Minnesota trip last year, the band would be eternally grateful to anyone who wants to help us out financially. I would be more than willing to ship you a Live At Lynah CD if you would like. At the risk of drawing the ire of eLynah, you can PM me for details on how to donate.

I seem to remember the details on how to donate to the pep band were posted last year and contrary to drawing any ire were quite welcome.

Actually, my comments were directed towards the "PMing" issue. Thankfully that seems to have blown over.... If you are interested in donating, you can use the following link:

Again, we would be forever grateful to you if you were to donate! Thanks and hopefully we will see you all in Green Bay (a town that really has NO IDEA what is about to hit it :-D )!

Just called Cornell ticket office and got two that will be left at "Will Call" for me.

FYI, the Cornell ticket office can't send tickets to Will Call in Green Bay (the rink won't allow it), so you have to either pick up the tickets in Ithaca or pay to have them sent via FedEx.

Thanks for making sure I knew that. They did leave me a message this afternoon saying that the "Will Call" option wasn't going to be available, but by the time I was able to pick up the message they were closed for the day.

I know it's a bit late in the process, but Midwest had the lowest fares from Boston.

The weekly Northwest airline cyberfare newsletter just arrived in my email box. Thought I would put this out there for anyone still trying to decide to go or not. Airfare/hotel for < $300.

Tickets are on sale until 3pm today, Wed.
Apparently there are still a fair amount left, so please come if you can.
If you were in Minnesota last year you know how much fun it was and how vocal our small group was.  If you weren't there last year, this is your chance.  The team can use all the support we can possibly give it.
