icedavis Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 Wife and I travel from Minneapolis but in two parts. 5-ish hours from MPLS to Yankton, SD to see my family/friends. Then my dad, wife and I (with the occasional other family or friends) bust out of the house at 6am Saturday and make the remaining 3-ish hour journey to the game. This year (IIRC) will be our 9th consecutive year, pretty cool. Quote Link to comment
The Dude Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 About 23 feet from beer fridge to TV. If the wife is home that is how far she will have to travel. If it's a fridge specifically for beer, it should be about 1 foot away from the recliner. Quote Link to comment

teachercd Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 Man...I am a bit torn on when to leave from Omaha... 1. Not all the bars open early for the spring game 2. The ones that do open early will be open at either 10am (probably not many) or 11am...nothing worse then getting there early and most of the places are closed 3. I have a friend in the group that is not a fan of going early and if we do get to Lincoln early and its not "rocking" he could become moody! 9am would be great..9:30 is okay...but I think we will end up not leaving until around 10am Quote Link to comment

This year (IIRC) will be our 9th consecutive year, pretty cool. What did you do in the storm two years ago? We had made it down and parked in a ramp and tried waiting out the rain. People were hanging out in their cars, we were just out standing in the opening watching the storm. The ramp had some pretty poor drainage and had created a nice lake.Then there was that break in the storm just before they called it that we started walking to the stadium. We made it a block or two when a buddy who had just gotten in the stadium called and said they just cancelled the game. So we walked back and headed home. Then got the rain check tickets for the next season's spring game. It was a fun trip even though we got rained out. Quote Link to comment
