Miami Bus Trip Feedback Wanted

[Eric_Soncrant]

Here is your chance to help us serve all of you.  One of our major goals with our travel program is to create an opportunity for everyone to travel.  Obviously, the Miami game allows us to try and do something very affordable to most people.

We have put together a package that includes bus transportation from USF, leaving Saturday morning (time of departure will be determined once game time is set).  You would arive a couple hours prior to the game free to tailgate wherever you'd like.  The package includes your game ticket and one night hotel and a good hotel in the Coral Gables area and near Cocunut Grove.  

The current cost of this trip is $200 per person for a single room and $150 per person if you are willing to share a room with someone else.

Keep in mind these prices include the $46 game ticket.

Please provide any feedback.  If there seems to be plenty of interest we will hold the rooms.  If it appears that most people plan on traveling on their own and just need the game ticket we won't hold as many rooms.  

Any feedback is welcome.  Thanks and Go Bulls!

Sounds like a good deal especially if the room is nice.  Is the usual USF tailgate planned?  What can be brought on the bus?  How much luggage, mini-grill, cooler, mini bar, keg?

I'm in if you'll swing by Columbia, SC.

What is the situation of transportation to the game - the Orange Bowl or is it walking distance ?

I'll be in for 2 for sure.

Think you already have a special bus

$46 ticket?? no wonder nobody goes to the UM games!

oh yea, good idea....  im assuming there would be some sort of student bus seperate from this cause I doubt most people that would purchase this package would want students doing beer funnels all the way to miami behind them

I hope people jump all over this opportunity.  If I were in the Tampa area, I would.   This is exactly what we need.  This could be a lot of fun and with the FIU deal now, and those yahoo Gators in '08 and '09, this could become a regular function.  Oh, I almost forgot those Knights next year too.  Meet some other Bulls fans and support your team.  Can't get too much better than that.  If there were an upset at Miami, what a ride back that would be....

We are working on some student packages with our Student Bulls Club and Student Government.  They will be on a separate bus but the plan is to have a bus caravan down there.  The bus will transport from the hotel to the game and back afterwards.  We will have some sort of pre-game tailgate but that will have to be purchased separately through the Alumni Association.

Probably won't be able to bring a keg on the bus.  Sorry about that.  And I'm pretty sure you couldn't bring propane or lighter fluid.  But if you had a little grill in a box you could probably put that underneath.  We won't put limits on luggage and such but it's a one night trip so hopefully you aren't bringing three suitcases.  

Keep the feedback coming.  Thanks everyone.  And SC, maybe we can meet half way

If When ... an upset at Miami, what a ride back that would be....

After we burn Miami to the ground
