For those flying out Wednesday, I just did a check in with my family member who will be the main decision maker on delta flights Wednesday and Thursday.
For Wednesday late morning/early afternoon, we should be ok if forecast holds. The direction of winds is crucial of course but we made decision for me to keep flight- too much of a hassle to rearrange to early tomorrow

I'm 50% factual and 50% sarcastic. When you get to know me, you will know which is which.

Interesting. My Delta flight ops guy told me the same thing. But he also said Tuesday is the better day to fly as there are a lot more options if the SHTF. He said if the crosswind is close to Delta's limit, it's left to the discresion of the captain.
I rebooked for tomorrow afternoon mainly because I'm the worrying type, and an extra day in Florida doesn't sound bad to me. And the wind is 15mph lower with lower gusts.
Was too much hassle to move flight up to tomorrow with having two dogs.
Wednesday forecast isn’t dire , so decided to not move it. If I didn’t have dogs, I’d have left today
Gotcha. I drove 5 hours roundtrip today to bring my dog to his preferred kennel. So I get it. I'd have left today as well if it wasn't for the ole hunting dog. But totally worth the drive for the place he goes.
Sooo how are the sight lines way up in upper deck?
just saw our seats- row r, literally second row from top.
kind of surprised, wonder if our odd number of seats screwed us or did a ton of donors request seats? I’m about halfway up gopher points list so if I’m seated in boonies, wondering if a lot of people didn’t get any tickets

when we reached out to the ticket office (both presale and a direct call after), the allotment was gone. Didn't have much Gopherscore, so take that for what it's worth
My flight out of Bismarck at 1:30 today is already am canceled in anticipation of bad weather. We were suppose to leave tomorrow and moved our flight to today to avoid this problem. Can’t imagine leaving here tomorrow if they canceled today when the snow hasn’t even started yet.
We're out to Orlando at 3:30p today. Our plane is 50 minutes from hopeful departure in Phoenix. Not worried about the weather on the Phoenix side. Looks like the weather is only going to warm up throughout the day so should stay rain here as well.
Gophers get the lightening locker room, makes sense as top seed.
looks like schools only got about 500 tickets
also apparently I’m in the Quinnipiac team hotel . Found a media guide online listing all these details
If Gophers end up playing Quinnipiac for the championship on Saturday your job is to make sure their team gets no sleep Friday night and Saturday so they are extremely tired Saturday night. #DoingYourPartToHelpTheTeam ?

@nowheresville I have a ticket for Thursday games. Sorry, daughter gets the ticket for Saturday. Email me at myates1138@gmail.com
Thanks for the offer, but I wound up buying resale tickets off Ticketmaster. I'll be in 309 tomorrow and 106 on Saturday.
I will say there seemed to be far fewer tickets available offline (non resale sites like Ticketmaster or StubHub) than for any previous frozen four I've gone to. Previous years I've usually found tickets available either on the uscho forum or Craigslist, but those spots had virtually nothing this year.
