BHGP ROADSHOW INFO **NEW EDIT (8/13)**

The jNW game is a no-brainer and for the rare Iowa fan who plans on traveling to the game and doesn’t know someone in Chicago who they can stay with, the Hotel McCann’t figures to be open. There are three beds and a couch (Ooh! College!) up for grabs. Shoot me an email, we’ll talk.

Oh, and I will most-fucking-certainly be hosting a Friday night, pre-game BBQ/drunken orgy for those interested.

For those that may be interested, a quick click on the “rec” button will keep this post at the top of the FanPost list. If I’m dragging a pregnant wife into Chicago in November, I expect her to meet as many of you fuckers as possible.

But I need email addresses from you guys if you’re interested in tix. (I already have an email address for you, Kyle, but for organization purposes a quick email would be helpful.) I would like to hash out the details of this project over email and not on the blog itself.

@ jNW in the HMB uni, and at Kinnick North II with my girlfriend in the student section.

I am in for both games and will hopefully bring my son. I will take (2) tickets if we are in a block. If not I would attend the tailgate, pre-game and any other BHGP sponsored activity.

We need to win at Dyche this year…

Just went on sale online this morning. And I saw this post after I bought 4…but thats cool. Maybe I’ll see some of you guys there.

I’d be down for some partying Friday night and tailgating on Saturday. Never been to Evanston is there any good tailgating spots anyone knows about?

I’ll bring rum.

C’mon, what happened to all you folks who voted for jNW in the poll a few weeks ago? I’m sure none of the BHGP faithful will bite — much.

have tickets to the JNw game though I am not sure where my seats are at yet.

And will likely have Mrs. Bucketochicken in tow. She fucking hates football, but she’s a good sport. She’s also an Illini fan (but really only for the hoopingball), but she’ll rock the Hawkeye gear for the game.

If we don’t get to 25, we should just split the difference and give the tickets to bums. What’s the rate if we miss the 25 person minimum?

that at the low, low price of $20 that this place isn’t flooded with people clamoring to go. I mean, we all know the place will be packed with fellow Hawkeyes anyway. Might as well make sure they make as little money off of us as possible as well.

UPDATE ON THE NORTHWESTERN GAME
 
Unfortunately, the news is not ideal. When I spoke to the Northwestern ticket office people today they informed me that they were sold out of the group rate tickets and that those tickets ($20) are no longer available. When I spoke to them last week they were available, so clearly they sold far better than I had anticipated. I apologize for that and for not getting ahead of this a few weeks ago when we may have had a chance to get those tickets.
 
However, while the (cheap) BHGP invasion of Ryan Field has now been postponed indefinitely (or at least until the next time Iowa plays at jNW, whenever that may be), the possibility for a (slightly more expensive) BHGP invasion of Ryan Field is still on the table. I was informed that they still have plenty of $35 seats available in the endzone and that they would be able to accomodate an entire group sitting together (though not, obviously, at the aforementioned group rate of $20). There are also more expensive seats available along the sidelines ($40-50), although not in large bunches. As we would just be buying standard tickets, there’s no magic number of tickets sold that we need to reach (i.e., 25 for the $20 group rate), so if people aren’t interested in buying at the higher rate, that’s perfectly fine. Or if people would prefer to buy them individually, that’s also more than fine. But if people are interested in sitting together as a BHGP bloc, we can still accomodate that. If not, we’re still going to try to assemble some sort of BHGP get-togethers before and/or after the game, even with the apparent dismal tailgating scene at Ryan Field.
 
So, again, I apologize that the $20 group rate ticket deal fell through. I was really hoping to do things that way. But the opportunity is still on the table, albeit at a higher rate than before. $35 is still likely to be the cheapest ticket to an Iowa game this year (outside of student tickets or perhaps scalping them after the game has started), so it’s not a BAD deal… just not as good as the initial deal.
 
Let me know where you stand now:
 
1) I am no longer interested in attending the jNW tailgate or game.
 
2) I am interested in attending just the jNW tailgate.
 
3) I am interested in attending the jNW tailgate and game but will acquire my own tickets.
 
4) I am interested in attending the jNW tailgate and game as part of a BHGP bloc ($35 tickets).
 
Again, I apologize for the change in plans and hope the new options are something that still interest you (and if not, no hard feelings).

…..and bought my tickets yesterday off the NW site.

There are only a few decent tickets left on the sidelines, and by decent I mean 10 yard line about 30 rows up. The best I saw any further upfield at the 25 were in row 72 and are probably gone by now, anyway.

In other words, they’re going pretty fast, I think—and probably from Hawk fans, I hope. Hard to believe the game’s THREE months away! I would not be surprised to see this one almost sell out with Iowa fans. I think the paucity of Kinnick tickets available is making this a game for some people to see perhaps as their only chance to see the boys in person this year. I really wonder if we won’t see 22,000 NW fans and 24,000 Iowa fans there.

In other words, even for end zone seating, I wouldn’t waste too much time. This is becoming kind of a “must see” game for some.

count me in!

Probably just be 2 tickets. I will email and let you know for sure within the week.

St. Lukes Hospital in CR put together a bus trip for their employees at a great rate and it quickly sold out.

Ride the bus on Friday morning, spend the day in Chicago, hit the Friday night Hawkeye Huddle with the Hawkeye Marching Band for their annual road trip game, night in Skokie, tailgate on Saturday and ride home feeling pretty darn good about ourselves.

only explanation i can come up with is good clean livin! GO HAWKS!!!

Don’t really know anyone in the IC anymore and would like to find a good tailgate.

I need to talk to a few friends to see first
