Our group has been waiting for this game since the P12 schools were added! The last weekend of September couldn’t be a better weekend for it! So pumped.

Our group booked flights and hotels tonight! Every Gopher fan I know that travels to games is planning on going to this one. It should be a blast and I anticipate we’ll have a lot of fans there.

Go Gophers Road Games!!
 

Pumped about this one. We were fortunate enough to go to UCLA 2 years ago with the kids and had an absolute blast. They'll be coming to this one as well. I also have a buddy from grad school in Seattle, so I'm coaxing him to come along to the game as well (he's a tOSU fan) and will supply him with Gopher gear. Disappointingly missed Autzen last year due to extenuating circumstances, but this will make B1G stadium #16 with only Autzen and the Coliseum left. Happy about the time of year, it should be beautiful.
 









Right away the video tells you to tour Seattle for the halibut...(I'll see my way out.)

 




When you go to an away game like this, do you work with the Gopher Ticketing office on tickets, or just go through other channels?
 






I just got the email that road trip tickets through the U are available to request starting today!

This was our first choice but the timing didn’t work. Indiana on Halloween should be fun though !

Did a Seattle, Victoria, Vancouver trip a few years ago. Beautiful. A small Victoria park provided me with a memory... There was a big lock box clearly marked for disposal of drug paraphenalia (sp). Right next to it was a big sign, "Absolutely No Smoking in the Park!"

That's Canada! Don't burn the forest Eh! Even professionals don't need to hide. :ROFLMAO: Especially in Quebec.
 


We are turning the Gopher/Huskie game into a great western road trip complete with national park visits on the way out there. We’ve got 16 tickets reserved and it should be a fun mix of locals, WA fans, Gopher fans, some flying, some driving, and a four day weekend in the SeaTac area. We will also have a tailgate spot reserved. I will confidently bring my personal Gopher road game record of 0-6 to the stadium, and be just as surprised if the game ends in a Gopher defeat as I was leaving the previous 6 road games.

Me too. I had no excuse, I could have walked to the stadium.

I too didn't go to a game in Huskey Stadium when I live there. I did sneak into a practice once with a buddy. They let me stay because I had a Washington license, but my buddy, with a California license, was kicked out. I made him wait in the car

Per Shama:

The football Gophers figure to have at least a couple thousand fans in Seattle for their September 26 game against Washington. A friend is asking if anyone knows of people selling individual boat tickets for “sail-gating” on that Saturday. Anyone who has a connection can email [email protected].


Go Gophers!!

According to Danny Spewak’s book on the 1941 Gopher football team, 3000 Gopher fans made the trip for the intersectional season opener. Most of the Minnesota fans made the trip by rail taking advantage of one cent a mile round trip fares. This year’s game is played exactly 85 years and one day later. There will be far more than 2000 Gopher fans attending the game.
 

Husky stadium is the coolest in FBS, especially now with the renovations. I love their enormous double decker bleachers on the home side. When they play at dusk with their classic purple + gold it's gorgeous to watch

Lots of transplanted Minnesotans in the pacific northwest so I anticipate numbers to be closer to what showed up in the Rose Bowl a couple seasons ago than 2000. Perhaps not at the levels that went to the game at Colorado, but far more than an 'average' Gopher road game.
