How Far is Your Trip to Your I-AA HOME Games

[Gil Dobie]

3.5 hours from where I live in the Twin Cities to the Fargodome.
I-94, 74 mph almost all the way.

[89rabbit]

6 hrs. from Kansas City to Brookings, SD.

[BlueHen03]

15 minutes. From Union Park Gardens to the TUB.

[kats89]

45 minutes from Houston to Huntsville.

[Eagle_77]

45 minuets from Savannah to Statesboro.

[bison95]

If there are four of us in the car.... 2 beers each per hour(minus the driver of course)..... 8 hour drive = A 2 case drive to the Fargo domexprost2x xprost2x xprost2x

[leatherneck177]

3.5 hours from Chicago suburbs. Not bad when there is a group of us driving down.

[Ronbo]

20 blocks. :) Get there about 10 am. Kickoff 1 pm.

[BBB]

Not far, I live in the same city. Maybe 15 minutes. 25 if I'm taking the metro.

[MR. CHICKEN]

FIVE MILES.....FROM DELAWARE STADIUM!...:nod::rotateh::nod:...DOODLE-DOO-DOO!

[Hansel]

~440 miles and about 6 hours and change depending on what time I hit the Twin Cities

[mineral griz]

58 miles of which 56 are I-90 and two that go through Missoula.....Sometimes takes longer to get through Missoula
than travelling down I-90

[blueballs]

320 miles from Metro Orlando to Statesboro.

[P2TheB]

130 miles and 1 hour & 45 minutes later...the P2theB family pulls into the UNI-Dome parking lot from Des Moines at 1:30 PM for a 4 PM kickoff.

[ncbears]

1.5 miles! :)

[putter]

Just over 3 hours, about 220 miles from Shelby to Missoula. Interstate for about 60 miles then 2 lane highway almost the rest of the way.

[SiouxFallsJack]

It takes me about an hour all or which is I-29 except for a couple miles.

[catamount man]

-90 minutes going through SC/NC Highway 107 up through Oconee County, SC into Jackson County, NC, passing through Cashiers, Glenville, and Tuckaseigee, NC before arriving at blessed Cullowhee and Western Carolina University.

- 2 hours if I hit Greenville, SC, take Hwy 25 up to I-26 over to Asheville, NC, hit I-40 west, get off at exit 27 towards Waynesville and Sylva, NC. Take exit 85 in Sylva, NC and get on Hwy 107 South, 5 miles later, blessed Cullowhee and Western Carolina University awaits.

I'll usually alternate routes for each home game. I couldn't tell you why, as I adore the scenery on both routes. I cannot WAIT for September 1st! GO CATAMOUNTS!!!

[Fordham]

30 - 40 minutes to Jack Coffey in da Bronx.

[NorthDakotaBison]

two blocks (and no, i'm not a student) ;)

[saint0917]

36 miles, 40-45 minutes

[BlackSaturday]

About three and a half hours from WV to KBS.

[WMTribe90]

About 1,800 miles and usually one connection :( Very excited for Big Sky teams to come to Greeley. That's only 40 minutes away.

[89Hen]

Depending on traffic... 1:40 to 2:00 to the Tub for me. Plus for away games I'm only 0:50 to Towson, 2:00 to Richmond, 2:20 to W&M, 2:30 to JMU, 2:30 to Nova. :)

[Coastal89]

7 miles from The House that Hooters Built.

[GannonFan]

Just over 60 some miles and about 1 hour and 10 minutes from the homestead in PA to the IAA Mecca known as Newark, Delaware.

[henfan]

4 miles to The Tub for me. And I've only got one trip during the regular season more than an hour drive away. I'm not going to Orono.

[LBPop]

Depending on traffic... 1:40 to 2:00 to the Tub for me. Plus for away games I'm only 0:50 to Towson, 2:00 to Richmond, 2:20 to W&M, 2:30 to JMU, 2:30 to Nova. :)

:( I'm disappointed, '89. You forgot to mention 20 minutes to your adopted other favorite I-AA football team. ;) You will be able to see the new place (at least the partially completed new place) in person. Check out the latest photos of construction progress.

[Bisonforlife]

I have a painless 1 Hour and 15 Minute commute to the Fargodome. :)

[Sly Fox]

Depending on traffic I can get to Lynchburg in about 16-18 hours from Houston. Suffice it to say, I fly and don't drive whenever I get over for games.

Like Tribe mentioned earlier, I wish my alma mater would play more Southland or SWAC schools so I could see more.

[ISUMatt]

100 miles which, the way I drive, is a tad over an hour!! LOL

[bisonguy]

Eight blocks to the Fargodome for me. Takes about two minutes, maybe three if I have to stop at either of the traffic lights on the way. :D :D :D

[ronangrizfan]

It's only an hour drive to Missoula, however traffic is already resembling summer tourist season as they pass thru on Hwy. 93 south at 9 a.m. Depending on parking situation, it's an additional 20-30 minutes to walk over to tailgate area.

[chattanoogamocs]

about 5 minutes to the school by bike (basketball season)...10-12 minutes to the stadium (football stadium)...leave my bike in the SID office, never have to worry about a parking space.

I can see the stadium lights of old Chamberlain Field from my deck and if I go up on the roof of my building, I can see the lights of Finley. Living downtown is great!

[wkuhillhound]

A little bit over an hour from Clarksville, TN to Bowling Green, KY!!

[Killtoppers90]

About 6 hours or so from Atlanta to The Hill! I make the sojourn about once or twice a year.

[TheValleyRaider]

This coming year it will be a short walk across College Street, and yes, I am still a student.

[txstatebobcat]

Just under 25 miles for me.

[UNH_Alum_In_CT]

About two hours 45 minutes, Interstate highway all the way to Portsmouth, US 4 the last ten miles. No matter how many trips are made, still love the views from the General Sullivan Bridge on in to Durham. The Piscataqua River, the beginning of the Great Bay estuary, Bellamy River, Oyster River and Wagon Wheel Farm all welcome you during the last five miles!

[Go Lehigh TU owl]

about 45 minutes when i'm at school in Philly, about an hour-twenty minutes from my home in Scranton to Lehigh

[Tribe4SF]

3 miles/5 minutes

[DuckDuckGriz]

45 minutes from Hamilton to Missoula on US 93
This fall about 11 hours from Eugene, OR. :(

[th0m]

From Zoetermeer, Holland, to Harrisonburg, VA its about 3800 miles, give or take ;) One hour to the airport, 8 hour flight, 2 hours to the stadium.

[charliej]

Bout 1.5-2 hrs Most of it back roads till I get to the Commodore Barry Bridge over the majestic Delaware.( anyone who's actually gone across the CBB will surely see the sarcasim ;) )

[nevadagriz]

750 miles and about 10.5 hours, 12 hours if you are potty training a toddler. Only 6 to Weber and 4.5 to sac st.

[kardplayer]

I'm just under 2 hours from picturesque Murrah H Goodman Stadium. For my road trips this year, I'm 3 hours from the Tub and 4 hours from Harvard.

[RadMann]

It is approximately a 2 hour drive from here in the northeastern part of Pennsylvania to Delaware Stadium in Newark.....

[Husky Alum]

18 miles from the Husky Alum Homestead north of Boston to Scenic Parsons field.

Time of trip depends on whether the Sox are home or if something's going on in the city. Can be as short as 20 mins, or as long as an hour.

UNH Alum, I must admit the drive from the HA Homestead to UNH in the fall is quite scenic. Never knew the name of the bridge on Route 4.

Best part about a UNH game in Durham - Newick's after the game!!!

[Tribe4SF]

Husky Alum,

I'm planning to come to the Tribe game at Parsons this year. Where's a good place to stay that's not too far away?

[DC 'gater]

Colgate is at least 4 hours from everything, except Syracuse.

[eaglefan452]

Statesboro is about 3 hours and change, give or take, from where I live in Atlanta, not quite sure about the mileage, maybe 215 miles. Of course your have to figure in other factors that as many of you who live in a big city know, can definitely alter the trip time.

[Husky Alum]

Tribe4SF -

Given that Parsons Field is on the Green Line (the Subway), you can pretty much stay anywhere that's "reasonable".

You might want to try the Holiday Inn on Beacon Street. You can actually walk there to the field, it's about a 15-20 minute walk. It's actually a REAL nice Holiday Inn, as far as Holiday Inns go.

If you want to stay in Boston proper, you'll have to pay big city rates. There's a Best Western (called the Inn at Children's) that's about 10-15 minutes from the field as well, and it's actually the hotel attached to Children's Hospital in Boston, and is pretty nice, from what people tell me. There's a HoJo's next to Fenway Park that's probably cheap, and if the Sox aren't in the playoffs, you can probably get a room there. That's also about a 15 minute walk.

If this year's game is half as exciting as last year's tilt in the 'Burg, it will be a great game. I was there (I'm never going to miss an NU game at W&M, I simply love the school and am trying to plant the seed in my young daughters' heads that if they don't want to go to NU, W&M is a GREAT option), and I still agonize over the loss.

[blackfordpu]

45 minutes from Houston to Huntsville.

Only 45 minutes kats? From where I'm at it is a good hour and 15 minutes.

[polsongrizz]

60 short miles with beer...60 long grueling miles when the new open container law goes into effect :bang: :bang: :bang:

[polsongrizz]

About 1,800 miles and usually one connection :( Very excited for Big Sky teams to come to Greeley. That's only 40 minutes away.
We will have to have a beer when we are in town next time...

[Grizo406]

Give or take a few yards...about 3 miles, and 2 Michelobs.

[umassfan]

From Zoetermeer, Holland, to Harrisonburg, VA its about 3800 miles, give or take ;) One hour to the airport, 8 hour flight, 2 hours to the stadium.
Thought i had everyone beat with my 2700 miles but guess not!

[89Hen]

I'm disappointed, '89. You forgot to mention 20 minutes to your adopted other favorite I-AA football team.

They'd be first on my list, but I was only giving UD opponents. Can't wait to see it in person!

BTW, we did do a string on the other board about how many I-AA's you can get to in 2 hours, so we won't get into that here. Anyone in the Philly-Washignton corridor usually wins that one.

[89Hen]

And I've only got one trip during the regular season more than an hour drive away.
If you can make Williamsburg in one hour from Newark, I'm going with you. I gotta see what kind of car you have. :)

[813Jag]

712 miles from Tampa to Scott's Bluff on the Mighty Mississippi River.

[HensRock]

http://www.800padutch.com/images/hbaranim.gif
1:45 to 2 hours from York, PA to Newark, DE on US 30 and PA/DE 896.
A very scenic route that goes straight through the heart of Pennsylvania Dutch country. Can't go too fast on 896 or you'll come over a hill or around a bend only to be staring at an orange triangle on the back of a horse-drawn buggy moving at about 5 mph in front of you! :)

http://www.aaabuggyrides.com/images/homepic.jpg http://padutch.com/images/cb4.gif

[GoGuins]

30 min. from Salem, Oh to Youngstown (YSU)

[AmsterBison]

I just became AmsterBison (so there are at least two DI-AA fans in The Netherlands).

Anyway, It'd probably take 12 hours travel time plus I like to get to the airport early and will have a layover in Minneapolis of an hour or so. That's 4,375 miles from the airport in Amsterdam to tailgating in with my fellow North Dakota State fans.

OTOH, I'm sure others will log more hours and travel more miles because I'll probably only make one trip back this season.

[UD1993]

About 1:20 from my hut in Slower Lower Delaware to the TUB. Thank God for Rt. 1.

[blukeys]

About 1:20 from my hut in Slower Lower Delaware to the TUB. Thank God for Rt. 1.
A little less than an hour to Newark and 5 minutes from Alumni Field (DSU) and Wesley College Field (another nice little football field. Their attendance is probably better than DSU's)

[AndrewFU21]

It's about 4, maybe 4.5 hours from Raleigh to Greenville. Come this September, when I'll be a student, it will be only a short walk from the dorm to Paladin Stadium.

[DFW HOYA]

Let's see...get on I-20, take a left at Atlanta. North on I-85, merge at Petersburg, then on to Washington.

25 hours, more or less.

[bobcatfan06]

Umm about 2 blocks and a stop at Katy Station ( a restaurant in San Marcos with .99 cent Ritas all day :beerchug: ) Get there about 2 for a 6 pm kickoff and cook me some fajitas.

[WCU LawCat]

2 1/2 hours....but you gotta add 15 min. to it because you can't buy beer in Cullowhee...its true.

[ngineer]

10 miles/ 15 minutes to Goodman Stadium using I-78 and Creek Road through the 'backdoor'...

[FL connection]

Two hour flight from Tampa to Indianapolis....then two hours of hills and corn fields into Charleston to see those EIU Panthers!! Can't wait to get it started again!! connection out!

[MR. CHICKEN]

Give or take a few yards...about 3 miles, and 2 Michelobs.



YO PORK CHOP........YA'LL DRINKIN' DEM MICKEYS...THROUGH UH FUNNELL?.....xprost2x...........BRRAAAWWWWKKKKK!

[JBB]

180 miles one way, Ive only missed 2 home games since 1992.

[McNeeserocket]

3.5 hours from where I live in the Twin Cities to the Fargodome.
I-94, 74 mph almost all the way.
1 mile from my door to the stadium gate (5 min.). 1/2 mile if I want to start at the tailgate area (2 1/2 minutes).

[CosmoVixen24]

3 minutes tops. It'll be a little bittersweet for me going this time, as I used to have to get to the stadium 3-4 hours early to help set up the guys equipment and everything. How I miss being on the sideline... guess I have to buy season tickets this year. :(

[catamount man]

"2 1/2 hours....but you gotta add 15 min. to it because you can't buy beer in Cullowhee...its true." - LawCat


But Lawcat, the brew thru in Sylva is roughly 5 minutes from Cullowhee and the stadium, so you're not losing that much time on beer, but Jackson County does need to get into the 21st century. You know the Catamount Travel Center across 107 would make a killing on game day, IF they could sell beer and such. See you this fall. GO CATAMOUNTS!!!

[buckp]

Only about 3 miles as the crow flies, but it takes about 10 minutes - I have to avoid the 'stands'.....;)

http://www.gctcw.org/images/deer_stand.jpg

[Scrogger]

2.5 hours drive to Minneapolis/St Paul International than 2 hour flight to Johnson Bell field in beautiful Missoula Montana.......

[Ivytalk]

Between 6.5 and 8 hours to Cambridge by car, depending on traffic and time of day. One-hour flight, but it's outrageously expensive. Nowadays, I usually content myself with closer road trips (Penn, Princeton, Lehigh, Lafayette, Columbia, Yale). I love the Crimson, but I can't stand Boston-area driving.

[89Hen]

One-hour flight, but it's outrageously expensive.
I flew Washington National to Bradley (Hartford) for $158 RT last weekend. It's even cheaper on Southwest from BWI.

[blur2005]

Five minutes.

[89Hen]

Five minutes.
I'm parking at your house next time I come to H'burg. Last year it was a 15-20 minute walk from where we were able to park across I-81.

[blur2005]

I'm parking at your house next time I come to H'burg. Last year it was a 15-20 minute walk from where we were able to park across I-81.
I was saying to drive. I park next to the houses right next to campus off of Port Republic and walk over. It's pretty quick and no one complains.

[89Hen]

no one complains.
Except for visiting fans who's team just lost. :p

[dungeonjoe]

about 90 minutes to Sparkle City from Rock Hill.

[blukeys]

I love the Crimson, but I can't stand Boston-area driving.
My brother lives in Sudbury Mass. and I have driven in Downtown Boston. Without a doubt it is the worst place in the U.S. to drive. I have driven in all the major northeast cities and none of them are fun. However, even midtown Manhattan is safer than trying to get around Boston. It is no wonder that the car insurance rates are so outrageous.

[bkrownd]

From Zoetermeer, Holland, to Harrisonburg, VA its about 3800 miles, give or take ;) One hour to the airport, 8 hour flight, 2 hours to the stadium.

Mine's 4950 miles as the crow flies, but by airplane its a few hundred more than that and about 13 hours. (Wish I was flying to the Netherlands...cheaper, too.)

No one living in Hawaii is going to get any sympathy points on this board. Suck it up, get the plane ticket and support your team. ;) ;) :)

[bkrownd]

Hawaii does a good job of marketing itself, because frankly it ain't the wonderous place people seem to think it is. I'm outta this jungle as soon as I can find a job back up North. :) I went to Amherst (paradise!) for 5 days and a game last year and it cost me over $1000. Flights are up $250 this year, and I just got back from a $2500 shopping trip to Minnesota. :( ;( :( My fall trips this year will probably be visiting my ex and cat in Anchorage and the traditional thanksgiving in beautiful Wisconsin.

[Eaglegus2]

It is about one hour drive from Hinesville to Paulson Stadium.

[Kill'em]

About 40 minutes from Guyton to Statesboro.

Hey bkrownd WTMI (way too much information). ;) :) I know a little about the big island as my uncle owned property there. You are confusing me big time as I would never pay to see my ex or any cat (although I own my Mom's cat thru inheritance.) I would never go to Alaska to subject myself to that kind of torture. I have too many ex's in little ole' Delaware and they are quite capable of making my life miserable enough. I don't need to spread myself over the Pacific to make myself even more miserable. :spank:

So you spent money at the Mall of America in Minnesota good for you. :D :D

As for Wisconsin if it ain't a Packer's game what is the point in going? :confused:

You REALLY need to get back to the mainland as your posts don't make any sense. The steamy Hawaii Highlands have obviously baked your brain. The next thing you know you will begin imagining that UMass beat UD in a football game. This symptom suggests the beginning of psychosis and should not be taken lightly. You will need to consult a mental health professional (preferably from outside the states of Massachusetts or Hawaii)

As always I am here for your support. The first step is to recognize that one has a problem and is powerless to overcome it.

[JMU2004]

hehe.... steamy Hi.???? how about rainy South Fla. sunshine st. my ass


Seriously, when you live in an area that most people come to for vacation, you think of Va. (or Mass. in your case) as paradise.


Note to self....palm trees, white beaches, and blue water quickly grow old....especially when you work and the only "tropical part" you deal with is heat and humidity

[bkrownd]

As for Wisconsin if it ain't a Packer's game what is the point in going? :confused:


Wisconsin is purty. Especially in the late autumn.

You have the wrong kind of ex's, I guess. Mine are sweeties. xsmoochx

[GAD]

jus timed it 16 min 24 seconds
