Just working out some details, but should be able to make it out there.

Who else is in?

I think I'm driving from Denver.

Any word on a charter flight?

Highly doubt with Covid and everything that JMU would do a charter this time but would guess any info would be out to tomorrow.

It is not cheap to fly right now. Looking at going out for one night from Philly and it will be closer to 1000 bucks with hotel. In 2016 spent the whole weekend and I think it cost 600 for flight and three nights.

I could make a flight work(not cheap), but have to find out about a game ticket. If a charter was an option I’d be all about it as I have family reasons to get back after the game ASAP.

Ticket info is here:

Beyond whatever block JMU is given (500/1000?) it looks like they will open public ticket sales on Wednesday morning 9am our time online.

Edit - it looks like some public seats may be on sale Sunday starting at 4pm eastern.

See y’all there! Will be in fargo around 2pm or so. Plenty of time to take in the tailgating scene.

I can't go to Fargo, just not in the cards.

To those that can and do, you are great Dukes!

It looks like JMU has pushed the priority deadline to 1700 on Tuesday. I’ve seen flight prices go up about $200 overnight from last night. I’m concerned about what flight prices will do between now and receiving confirmation of getting a game ticket.

Buy your flight now, and try for a ticket from the bison site at 4pm today as insurance ... relatively inexpensive compared to overall trip cost.

It also may help to go create a login/account at the ticket site in advance. Sometimes this helps speed up the checkout process if there is high demand.

Just canceled my Friday/Saturday room at the radisson that I booked in November. We found a better Airbnb option.

Charter information was already sent out to those invited (not me, I got information from one). It’s $1200.

I’ll be sitting home for this one

Thank you for that piece of intelligence. This closes one of my knowledge gaps and increases my evaluation of risk.

Would have likely purchased a charter ticket, had I been invited.

Danny, I’m inviting you right now.

We are flying to MSP Thursday afternoon and driving up. What is everyone doing before the game Friday? Last time we went to BW3s which is across the street from the FargoDome. Figuring I may just do the same unless some JMU fans meet elsewhere.

We’ll prob pop in at BWW’s initially, but gonna cruise the lot for midwestern friends and fun. We expect to be in Fargo by 2 Friday at the latest.

I got 2 seats on the 2016 charter, moved way up in DC rankings, and not even an invite this year. Denied!

I looked at all flight options and Duke Force 1 was the only way I can do it with my Saturday obligations, assuming a Friday return flight anyway. Looks like we're hosting a watch party for my season ticket group.

We booked flights in the tailgate lot Friday night. Only way to avoid the price hikes and lack of options.

Thanks to all of you making the trip. It is going to be epic! Make lots of noise and thanks again for representing us all.

Go, Dukes! Kick 'dey ass!
