*In the other states category, you'll notice there is one location listed as coastal. A couple years ago, Studwell55 answered the question by saying he could see water from his window. This year he put down "coast." He didn't say if it was the east, west or Gulf coast. So we'll give him his classification of coastal and leave it that.
A few respondents in the Season Ticket Holder listing said they had tickets to other Gopher sports. They'll be tabulated in the next summary, which I hope to get out in the next few days.
Go Gophers!!
