All of them.
I'll be in 113.
Without and local regional teams in the F4, Michigan should dominate the crowd. Lots of Michigan alumni in the TC now.
Totally agree we should dominate! More specifically, I have part of my group awaiting their ticket allocation from the official Michigan allotment, and others looking to buy nearby on secondary market, hence the ask.
I got my email last night saying my request wasn't fulfilled. It also said they were only able to fill orders for requests with at least 794 priority points. I'm guessing all of the "no" emails went out yesterday and they're trying to sort out who gets what seats based on priority points today. If they didn't get a rejection last night they are probably getting tickets today.
I'm hoping the secondary market drops just a little bit more before I pull the trigger. As it is, it's not bad.
Edit: I also saw this on r/collegehockey for what it's worth.
OP asked a legitimate question and this thread is pretty much just drivel and snark.
Mgoblog used to be a repository of useful information. This thread and your post is a waste of time
I went to the Frozen Four in 1997 in Milwaukee and my experience is that the fans of the host school dominate.
Michigan was playing Boston University in the semifinal. North Dakota and Colorado College were the other teams. No Wisconsin. No schools in close driving distance. We were the closest.
Most of the fans were wearing red. I assume they were not BU fans. They were Badger fans. They were vociferously rooting against us because either (i) they hate us, or (ii) we were heavily favored. I vote for (i).
Hopefully the Gopher fans do not hate us and they realize that Boston College is favored and we are the underdog.
Ironically there could be a lot of gold and maroon that aren’t BC fans hating on us, similar to your 97 experience.
This will be my fourth trip! 2011, 2018, 2022
I had a similar experience in Boston 2 years ago. Obviously a lot of fans of the teams involved but also a whole bunch of various Boston schools, Providence, Umass etc.. Granted this was Boston so it was a large melting pot of third party fans with many hockey schools fairly local.
Also kinda tracks with my own plans when Frozen Four was scheduled to be in Detroit. I had already bought tickets well before we would have determined which teams were going to be in it.
Personally, I don't see the appeal of paying a substantial amount of money to attend a game that your own team isn't playing... especially when a sizable secondary market demand for those tickets exists.
I have it on inside information, double secret squirrel, top secret: our Mgobrother, SRJK, will be at Thursday’s game. If true, Hopefully he will bless us with some photos from the game, as he has in the past. Go blue!
Hmm... have we ever seen SRJK and CS together in the same room?
technically true, but our friend SRJK is about a foot taller than a certain iphone-wielding threat to humanity.
Stilts, my friend.
I suspect SRJK is really a 4' 10" dude with adjustable stilts for various occasions.
i can debunk that theory, as can my entire family, since we have met SRJK and some of his wonderful children. i will grant you though, i did not kick him in the shins to verify that. i may have to the next time i see him.
Then it's not really "debunked" now, is it?
Anyone can hire some tall kids to play the part for family gatherings and social occasions.
Stay skeptical.
It does, in fact, appear to be true. God is good.
Probably in a Tim Cook jersey from 2004; only one from that year that I could find that would fit.
Throwing this comment out into the ether mostly because I don't know where else to place it:
Any Rochester, MN area alumni/hockey fans making the trip up to the Frozen Four? Looking to carpool/save on gas money?
There are better ways of arranging your travel than a sports website...
Not going, but word on the street is the students (despite protest to the ticket office) got shoved up to 207! Wouldn’t be surprised if the band does as well.
