Golden Gophers Weekend

If you bleed maroon and gold and your favorite stuffed animal is a gopher, this is a dream weekend. It is hard to believe, but there are five men's sporting events on the University of Minnesota campus this weekend. Here is a list of this weekend's events:

*Friday, 11/14/08 @ 8:00 Minnesota Gophers Men's Basketball vs. Georgia State Panthers
*Saturday, 11/15/08 @ 1:07 Minnesota Gophers Men's Hockey vs. Michigan Tech Huskies
*Saturday, 11/15/08 @ 8:00 Minnesota Gophers Men's Basketball vs. Bowling Green Falcons
*Sunday, 11/16/08 @ 1:07 Minnesota Gophers Men's Hockey vs. Michigan Tech Huskies
*Sunday, 11/16/08 @ 6:00 Minnesota Gophers Men's Basketball vs. Georgia State Panthers

It appears as though the amount of events at Mariucci Arena and Williams Arena this weekend has caused there to be plenty of bargains on Gophers Hockey Tickets and Gopher Basketball Tickets. It is a great weekend to be a Gophers fan so grab a couple of Gopher Tickets and head down to campus for some great collegiate action!!! SKI-U-MAH!!!

Golden Gopher Basketball Tickets

I spent the last week monitoring the prices on Minnesota Golden Gopher Basketball Tickets for the game this afternoon versus the Wisconsin Badgers. Prices definitely went up after the Minnesota Gophers beat the Michigan Wolverines on Thursday. If you were interested in sitting between the base lines in a non obstructed good row, you had to be willing to shell out around $145/Ticket. On Sunday, you couldn't buy Gophers Basketball Tickets like that at any price. I am sure that the Wisconsin badger fans scooped up a lot of the tickets.

After the Minnesota Gophers lost today, you can expect demand for Minnesota Golden Gophers Basketball Tickets to really drop. I wouldn't recommend rushing out to buy tickets for any of the remaining games because I am sure that the prices will go down closer to each of the games. However, if for some reason the Gophers go on a roll and win a couple of games in a row and have a chance to make the NCAA Tournament, demand will go up for the last couple of Gopher games. GO GOLDEN GOPHERS!!!

Golden Gopher Basketball Tickets

My hunch is that the hiring of Tubby Smith will lead to a resurgence in the popularity of the Minnesota Golden Gopher Basketball program. With this increased popularity, we will definitely see increased demand for the once untouchable Gopher Basketball Tickets. Back in the days of Clem Haskins, Golden Gopher Basketball Tickets were an extremely hot commodity. Dan Monson and numerous losing seasons caused Gopher Basketball Tickets to be as worthless as Timberwolves Tickets are today. I can't wait for a return to the days of a packed Williams Arena and a winning Gopher Basketball team. Unfortunately, there is a cost to the future success of the Minnesota Golden Gopher Basketball program and that is increased ticket prices.
