Below is a direct link to what Ruppert is talking about with some more detailed information. As he suggested, if you can't make it but would like to help do your part donating a ticket or tickets is a great way to go about it and make sure they get into some good Gopher cheering hands at the actual game.

Donating Tickets. Can’t make it to Florida? You can still support Gopher Football at the game by purchasing a ticket and donating it to local military service men and women in the Orlando area or to a University of Minnesota student.
Donate to Military and/or Donate to U of M Students
Tickets will be donated to the Army’s 143rd Sustainment Command in Orlando. They have approximately 215 staff members working at this central command station and work with 35 other Marine and Navy central command staff in Orlando. Additionally, tickets may be donated to the MacDill Air Force base in Tampa, which has 15,000 active duty members on base. Gopher Athletics will be working to provide Gopher football t-shirts to all of those in attendance to fill the stands with maroon and gold!
