I'll get you old-timers out of the way first: For non-students, standing room only tickets are still available for the Minnesota game at Alltel Center for $22. Might wanna get on them though... the game is next Friday and if you don't, I'm sure there will be a line of Maroon and Gold clad fans ready to pounce.
Student hockey tickets went on sale for the game this morning at the Taylor Center. MSU Athletic Director Kevin Buisman said the line for tickets stretched from the Taylor Center Hall of Champions (where distribution took place), through Myers Fieldhouse all the way down to Pennington Hall (for those that don’t know the school, that’s about the length of a football field). Some were there with pillows as early as 1 a.m.
“It’s definitely exciting,” Buisman said. “It really demonstrated the enthusiasm students have for the hockey program and the excitement of having a rival like the University of Minnesota come down here.”
The show of support comes on the heels of a season where student attendance and enthusiasm was better than it had been in years.
“I think it’s awesome,” said Mavericks head coach Troy Jutting. “It’s great to have the support of the student body. By far, the most important people we have at the games are students. The involvement and support is really appreciated by our players.”
If you are a student and you haven’t purchased a ticket, there are still “plenty” available, according to MSU athletic ticket manager Joe Wagstaffe. You can get a student ticket with a valid MavCard by heading to the Office of Athletics in Myers Fieldhouse.
Tickets are free, but you will need one to enter the game. All other games will be on a first-come, first-serve basis by showing your MavCard at the door.
