I-moved up this year to Group B. We splurged on Club level since we’re not spending money on travel. Bench side, Blue line C28. No, I only bought 2, not sure if I can go back in as I’ve never done that. Of course at this point seats are fully available, the only blocked out sections are the school corners. And thinking back to Tampa prices seem to have remained the same, no increase as far as I can tell.Don’t want to start a new thread quite yet…but I got my Frozen Four tickets!! NCAA site wasn’t working when the priority time opened up, moments of panic! What am I doing wrong, but called and they said everyone was having issues and they were working on it. By 10:30 all was right in Hockeyland.
What was your priority group? Where did you end up? Did you buy all 8, or are you able to go back in for those with lower priorities to have an idea where tickets are available so Gopher fans can be ready to go the moment their slot opens?

Had similar issues and wasn't able to get tickets until end of day, got an error message up until mid-afternoon. But still got the same tickets tried for at 9am. We're in the club on the red line right by the bar

Club level at the X is worth the splurge every single time. I exchanged my tickets for the St. Thomas game to be in the club level once I saw they opened it up.

Did you call to do that? And if so, who? The X directly?

We're in C26!
@jwg I chatted. They are such a scam they charged me 10 bucks each to exchange and I explained the tickets weren't available when I bought, but they didn't budge.
If you call they may be able to do it for free but I kinda doubt it with those crooks.
This might be a stupid question....
Is valet parking still an option? Available for single games? I could not find anything on the U site, my dad doesn't get around to well but wants to see MN beat the hell out of the red team later this month. Valet would be a good option for us but only for whichever game he goes to.

Valet was set up for last nights game. It’s right on the corner across from Williams/Mariucci.This might be a stupid question....

We also saw a 6 seater golf cart that must go from the assigned parking lot. That drove up right to the front doors.

I think anyone with priority status can get a ticket. What group are you?

I don't know what specific seating will be available, but I'm not aware of anytime anyone with a priority couldn't get tickets. Including Boston.
There will be spots for general public people on Nov 1 which is the "presale" for those that have never bought a ticket.
Nope, I had priority and did not get Boston tickets. That was part of the whole controversy, priority folks did not get tickets, they were SO by the time the lower groups had a chance. We’d already committed to travel/hotel so we went anyway and scalped tickets. Paid OUTRAGEOUS prices for okay seats, the professional scalpers were brutal. We even waited till puck drop thinking well now you’ll lower them…nope those ?would rather eat the seats then lower the price.So you're saying my presale date of Nov 1 isn't ideal?Don’t want to start a new thread quite yet…but I got my Frozen Four tickets!!

I guess BIG+ doesn’t want my money. I tried to subscribe but it claims my email is already being used, which is very possible from years ago. So I try to reset the password, and I never get an email. Alright then.
Same issue. Checked Sapm. nothing. So I used a different email.

About to spread rumors...
A friend of mine who knows a relative of the Koster's says that it's a torn MCL.
Not sure where else to put this...

I sent the article to Mr. & Mrs. YE yesterday. Mrs. YE works in city government and new Jamie worked for Bloomington but had no idea he was the Gopher announcer she heard all the time. YE knew him as the Gopher announcer and no idea he worked in city government.

Oh man, I really hope that’s not true. That would be a big loss.
Would depend on grade of tear. If Grade 1, may not miss much time at all. Worst-case he'd probably be out through holiday break.
First thing I did was look up recovery time for an MCL tear and as other people said it really depends on the grade of the tear. I have no reason not to believe the 3-4 weeks initially reported, that would be right in line with a grade 1/2.
I honestly don't think this is contact to the head. In fact it looks like his head is clearly above the shoulder of the Beaver player. Am I wrong?

I'm 50% factual and 50% sarcastic. When you get to know me, you will know which is which.
Yes. If you watch it frame by frame the head moves first. It actually twists left and back before the body contact. That said, It looked like the Beaver tried to lay a shoulder into the chest. He was low. Two bodies moving quickly it can be a fraction of an inch movement or a fraction of a second timing to be the difference between head contact or no head contact.First thing that moves is his head?♂️
Buuuuut, why go for the annihilation hit during an exhibition game?
It's not an "annihilation hit" though. What makes it bad is the fact that Nevers doesn't see it coming and skates full speed and face first into a shoulder. If Nevers sees him coming, it's a nothing play.
First thing that moves is his head?♂️
That's impossible to aver and more importantly if you slow it down you can clearly see Nevers' head is above the shoulder of the Beaver player as contact is made.
?♂️
Helmet to helmet if you look closely. Nevers is looking down to see the puck, the BSU player's helmet makes contact with Nevers' facemask, bouncing the head back.First thing that moves is his head?♂️

My question is if he had his head up when he got injured... ?

it's pretty hard to say that with the angle but it sure looks like shoulder to head (which is made to happen by Nevers having his head down/dipping) though I don't think at all that's what the Beaver player is trying to do. It's an unfortunate play all around and you just hope it isn't something that ends his season
I had a lower grade MCL injury that took me like 8 weeks but that’s because I didn’t really push it harder/sooner and I also play goalie. For a goalie an injury in the inside of the knee is pretty debilitating because you need to go down in the butterfly. For a high caliber athlete like Koster who doesn’t play goalie, that could be like 4 weeks or less.Would depend on grade of tear. If Grade 1, may not miss much time at all. Worst-case he'd probably be out through holiday break.
Really enjoyed the podcast - both the first 30 with Derek, but also the hockey talk and STT preview that followed. And I feel a bit better after hearing some optimism.
They didn't almost die or something Jess...

I have had highest priority ever since they started the program (mid-90's I believe???) and haven't had any problems getting tix. I am in Section 102 about 8 rows from the top. Oddly enough, it's very close to where we were in 2002!
I've been looking into flights to MSP the last week of March and (I think for the first time) have found I can now go MNL-ICN-MSP without a stop in between the last two. The negative is there would be a 15 hour layover in ICN both ways making total travel time 31-34 hours. You'd think a super fan could have it a bit easier. ?
