[URo-Line]

Do we know when the team is heading out?

Snow Showers and windy Wed/Thur. High for Friday is 11 degrees.

 

[Spidermaniac]

They leave tomorrow........

 

[DTSpider]

I hope that it's tomorrow to match the same schedule as last week. Plus give the team a decent amount of time inside the Fargo Dome.

Fargo airport lands planes in pretty much any weather. 30-40mph and heavy snow is pretty typical. They should not have any issues unless they refuel at ORD or MSP.

All of the hotel rooms in Fargo have been booked. NDSU fans are making igloos available on campus. Each Spider player will have his separate igloo.

I hate to digress. Did the team make the trip safely and without incident?

Good point. The Spiders are the biggest thing North Dakota has seen since...

The Northern Iowa Panthers were there last weekend.
