How far are you traveling to see your team this weekend?

[SeattleGriz]

Me, I am bringing the wife, son and mother 500 miles from Seattle to see the Griz open the season against Southern Utah.

How about everyone else?

By the way, since I am traveling with the wife, son and mom, my mileage total should actually be multiplied by a factor of 1.5 due to annoyance factor.

[crunifan]

Well, I'm not in school this semester (I'm on a co-op) so I will drive up from Cedar Rapids to Cedar Falls (an hour drive, about 60 miles) to see UNI play Minnesota State on Thursday.

Not a bad drive at all, especially compared to yours, haha.

You're taking a short cut. 1600 miles from Charlotte to Pitt to Cleveland, to Ann Arbor, to Cincy, to Charlotte. Pirates, Indians, Apps, and Reds games as well as a detour to Canton in 6 days, yeah road trip.xthumbsupx

[AlphaSigMD]

Gonna be a long, crazy drive.

[GGASU]

Kure Beach NC to Ann Arbor....

[DuckDuckGriz]

Oh ok since we are doing roundtrip miles it's 1,422.

[Mountaineer2825]

1200 miles roundtrip from Boone, NC to Ann Arbor, MI. Anyone staying at the Hilton Garden Inn in Plymouth, MI?? It's about 25 minutes from the stadium.

I look forward to seein all my fellow App fans cheerin our Mountaineers in the biggest game (literally) in our school's history! I'll be driving in a black 4runner with all sorts of App State decor.. :D

[Casey_Orourke]

I wanted to go to either the PSU/McNeese ST. Season opener or the PSU/UC Davis home opener, but work constraints forced me to wait till Oct 6th for PSU/NAU instead (still a good game). Had a choice of a road trip or flying.

Driving would have been a round trip of 804 miles to Lake Charles or 4074 milesto Portland.

Flying is a round trip of 5040 miles, six nights in Portland and the use of a brand new rental car all for less that $800 for the wife and I. It will be her introduction to American Football.

[McNeese_beat]

1.35 miles, straight down Common Street in Lake Charles, La.

[Casey_Orourke]

1.35 miles, straight down Common Street in Lake Charles, La.

Better than mine, but 800 miles is to much just far a day trip, so I have to settle for the broadcast instead.xsmhx

[McNeese_beat]

I'm wondering if the broadcast is downloadable. My brother in Denver would like to watch it, but can't watch it live.

We were at PGE park in 2004. I'm hoping they somehow sign another home and home with the Viks. I love it up there. The most lush, beautiful place in continental U.S., as far as I'm concerned...Maybe northern Cali or San Diego compare, but it would be very close.

[Cap'n Cat]

0 miles. xsmhx xsmhx

It's the Little Cats' "Meet The Teacher" night at school.


:( :( :( :(

[SU Jag]

10 miles, the Jags are in Birmingham this weekend!

Other than the SLC webcast and possibly Big Sky TV, which you can buy at the Big Sky or any of the Big Sky school's pages, I'll be listening (I hope) to streaming audio from KTRO out of Portland.

[PhantomCAT]

1950 miles. ONE WAY.

Is it just me or did all of the people from Ape State list their mileage as round trip? Ego issues?xwhistlex

[GoGuins]

Because I'm in violation of App Law or whatever you guys call it:D

In short, I'm a Michigan season ticket holder

[ncbears]

I wish I was going to Hawaii!!!

[jessesd]

Hofstra doesn't open till the 8th, I'll make it to couple of their games, it would be about 280 miles each way.

So instead Friday night I'll have to walk 8 blocks uphill to the Carrier Dome and see SU Orange get "humilliated" in national tv by the Washington Huskies.
Hey, Its football and at least I don't have to pay for my tickets (perks of the job).

Saturday I'm hosting a Gator-Nation get together to watch "The Florida Gators" pound on Western Kentucky on my new media room.

The second best thing to being at the stadium.
The new house had a fully finished basement, so I set-up a 110" HD projection display with a very nice surround sound system media room (fully internet and cable capable and can be plug to a dish/Direct TV upgrade if needed) very similar to what I use for my lectures and we'll use it instead of a tv for the games!!!.
AAAAhhhhh how did I managed to live without that before!!!.

We should get a cheap pool table and new basement furniture from Sams club thursday night, (at my wife request!) and we'll be ready for this weekend.

[DetroitFlyer]

From Detroit to Pittsburgh to see Dayton at Robert Morris. GO FLYERS!!!!

[AZGrizFan]

I'll be traveling 37 miles down to Dukes Sports Bar in Scottsdale, where all Griz games are shown on the big screen!

Sorry, Griz, that's as good as I can do at this point.... xsmhx xsmhx xsmhx xsmhx xsmhx

[89Hen]

160 miles to Williamsburg Thursday... that's the day after TOMORROW!!! xthumbsupx

[Apps03]

Friday - 625 miles to Ann Arbor
Sunday - 625 miles to Mooresville
Monday - 165 miles to Clemson
Monday Night/Tuesday Morning - 165 miles back to Mooresville

The whole weekend reminds me of this quote from a movie-
"160 miles to Chicago, we've got a carton of cigarettes, it's dark and we're wearing sunglasses, hit it!"

[Ronbo]

711 miles to Wash-Griz xthumbsupx

What route are you taking? Take I-5 from Eugene to exit 300 to I-84. Take I-84 along the beautiful Columbia River to exit 179 and get on I-182 for about 31 miles to exit 113 and get on US 395 to the Tri Cities and up to I-90 and Spokane to Missoula. Should be just 650 miles. xnodx

[TheRiver]

8 miles, lucky me.

You're right I was including the extra 50 or so miles down south to the Bitterroot. And that is the route I usually take. Beautiful until I reach Eastern Washington. Consider that smack. xthumbsupx

[BisonBabe]

0.00:( , gotta wait another week.

Same here :(

[SeattleGriz]

why not fly ?


Silly expensive to fly into Missoula, even if you buy the tickets months in advance. Plus, some very picturesque driving.

[VictorG]

About 17 miles to Parking lot P, and Washington/Grizzly from my front door in Lolo.

We will be in the same place, SeattleGriz. Make sure you stop by and say hello!

Speaking of stopping by and saying hello!xthumbsupx


About 48 miles one way!

[DuckDuckGriz]

why not fly ?

Anyone who's flown into Missoula will know it will be like this :

About $400 for a ticket. Stops in Seattle or Boise (about 1-3 hours). Sitting on a tiny little Horizon plane the size of a minivan. In the end you are traveling about 2 less hours than you would driving, broke, and ready to punch the next crying baby you see. I'll take "flying" at 85 down beautiful I-90 (past Spokane that is) to dealing with that.

Gotta love America's skies. xthumbsupx

[DuckDuckGriz]

Some would argue the the exspansive farm lands of E. Washington are a beautiful thing to the tables of America. xnodx I like the piney woods in and around Spokane and the area just out of Spokane through Coeur d’Alene is one of the most scenic anywhere.xthumbsupx
