2018 Board Meeting - A Revival of Excellence

[Brutus Buckeye]

Is there a place where we can post if we are experiencing board glitches? 

[847badgerfan]

Yes. On the front page, scroll down and you will see a place for suggestions/issues.

The marquee home game would be Michigan St but that is in September so I understand if y'all prefer November, and the game vs Utah is a solid choice.

Now however y'all wanna pregame I got connections. I can definitely find a tailgate that'd be willing to host us (and have food and booze) or I know a guy who owns one of the bars on Mill and I can see if he can help us secure some space to pregame there as well, it's easy walking distance to the stadium too.

Yo, @DevilFroggy  - did you have a preference yet on when you can commit for this? 
Either the Sept or Nov game?  Just curious if we can get confirmation of a set weekend so things can move forward with reservations, etc.  
I want to be there for sure no matter which date, and don't mean to be persistent but I'm more of an advance-planner when airfare is involved.    The sooner the decision is made, the better, IMO!!

I am committed to every ASU home game as I have season tickets. I’ll let y’all decide when you want to come out here but I’m guessing the Nov game would be preferable by most others.

Alright, well I will operate under the assumption that Nov 3rd for the Utah game is the ONE! 
If nobody else chimes on what hotels they are looking at, then I'm just gonna go ahead and pick one out on my own and start eyeing the prices for flights. 
I'm stoked to visit ASU and the husband-type will be in attendance as well since he has a good friend in the area.

Sounds good to me.  I'll be around (albeit the west valley).

[Riffraft]

Well, I am in the East Valley and would love to meetup with you all for the game. I've been here for 5 years and still haven't made it to an ASU game. Up until this year, I spent most of my Saturday's officiating a bunch of Pop Warner games and didn't feel much like getting out for an evening game. However, while I am still doing high school games on Friday night, I have "retired" from the little guys on Saturdays.

[UT-Erin03]

I have our hotel reserved, and looked at the ASU athletics site which indicates public tickets will go on sale in the summer but doesn't specify which games/dates for sale-release at this time. I have no idea how the "group tickets" work for ASU, but when I looked into that with the USC box office last year for tickets in the Coliseum, they needed minimum of 20 tickets for a group rate.    I will not have the resources to front for group orders purchased in advance, but would be willing to pay my own way for 2 tickets if someone else wanted to check on the conditions of group tickets through the ASU program.   Usually it's a bit cheaper this way, but I'm totally prepared to just buy our own game tickets when I see they are released.    

I know some people like to scalp or buy from resale sites, but that's not me, I much prefer to have tickets secured in advance  at face value for events I attend.  If i see any updates on release and/or purchase ours, I will be sure to post the seat info on here for others to order as needed.

So is it for sure November 3 then?

[MarqHusker]

I'm 99% out of it.   Ty (who joined us at our infamous Nashville Board meeting), he had the yellow Vandy feather boa on all day at the bar, is getting married somewhere in that week range, and I'm in it.     Have fun guys/gals I'm certain you will.

So is it for sure November 3 then?

Well hell if I know if it's the official board meeting, but that's the ASU game I'm planning to attend.
Between the bashing of heat temps in Sept, and more interest in Utah over the MSU game, I just figured that's where this discussion is headed, however DF says he's going to be at all the home games so anyone can go to whatever game they can make it to, it would seem.
Personally, the Nov weekend is shaping up better for me than the Sept weekend, so I have moved on with reserving a hotel for that one.  We also have friends in Phoenix and will be planning some time with them for that weekend, so there's another factor driving my decision on this.  I do not make any decisions for others here on the board meeting, though, so feel free to make a final decision at any time!  

[847badgerfan]

I'm not making any calls given my travel schedule this fall. I'll be all over the place so really any meeting is going to be dicey for me. The only game I'm planning at this point is UNL at UW on October 5-7. It's one of only 3 free weekends on my fall calendar. So this year is probably not meant to be, for me at least.

On November 3, I will be in Amsterdam, hanging out in coffee shops or something. 

[GopherRock]

I am in the process of figuring out stuff on my end to make this work.

[DevilFroggy]

Well I got my season tickets, section 214. ASU tickets aren't exactly some hot and rare commodity you need to sell an organ for. When single game tickets go on sell there should be plenty available at reasonable prices, and even in my section too.
