For those of you going to Grand Rapids...

I'm a student and I'm trying to go to the Final Five (I should know by Tuesday if I'm able to). I'd love to stand for the whole game with some friends banging on the glass. I doubt this will happen since the row behind us will be probably be sitting, but hey, you never know. For anyone who has bought tickets, do you have a specific seat printed? Does anyone think Van Andel will strictly enforce seating from what's printed on our tickets (other than upper bowl/lower bowl)? We were able to move at Ford Field at the MACC, but that was in the designated student section, and we won't have enough students to make our own section. Thanks in advance.
Go Falcons! Beat Mankato and Ferris/Anchorage! Roll Along!

We will gather at Peppino's downtown prior to the game. A group of local GR alums will have a table upstairs beginning around noon on Friday. Please join us.

That sounds good, SW-MI Falcon. I was hoping the alumni association was going to set something up like they did in Detroit, but I haven't heard anything yet.
What name should I look for?

The league has designated bars --> schools. The Alumni Assn. is in the process of organizing an event at the Grand Rapids Brewing Co. Unfortunately Minn State will be at Peppino's. I guess we meet GRBC now.

Stupid Alaska pulled the upset so now downside is game is at 2:07pm and some of us have that little thing call a J....O.....B. Though I'll take the #3 seed. However, I'm buying the feed at work and cleared the scheduled Friday afternoon to watch on the computer.
After the win I hope to be taken a car full up on Saturday, those watching the win, please post if there is a gathering before the game would like to partake in pregame activities with other falcons.
Ay Ziggy Zomba.

Perfect timing again. STO is currently unavailable on Dish Network cuz Dish says STO is demanding an unreasonable rate increase to continue carrying the channel. This prevented me from watching MAC tourney games and now this.

Found a listing for it on DISH Ch. 450, but I'm not holding my breath that it will play without a PPV. Also not sure if that's a nationwide channel listing, but it could help you out if you find yourself in a bar with DISH and a misguided channel changer.
