YSU Penguin Athletics / Re: Frisco tickets. .

« on: December 20, 2016, 03:53:51 PM »

Seriously, NDSU fans and twitter were much more useful than our athletic department. Once JMU said their allotment was on the west side, we were fortunate to scoop some decent seats on the YSU side when they were still below face value...

OK, you know what side of the stadium is "yours,"  but quite frankly when push comes to shove, if tickets are available on the other side, buy them.  We sat all over the stadium, sides didn't matter.

That said, somebody in your ticket office and sports information department needs to be held accountable.  It doesn't help if school is on break, but its not like you haven't been there before (hey YSU, the 90's are calling and they want to give you your trophy back!)

YSU Penguin Athletics / Frisco - where to stay

« on: December 19, 2016, 11:49:23 AM »

Thought I would post this if you are wondering where to stay. I live there, so here is my advice:

Stay around the 121/Preston/Dallas North Tollway intersection where Plano and Frisco meet near the Frisco Stonebriar Mall area. The off-mentioned Wild Pitch and Tight Ends are right there. Lots of hotels, restaurants, bars.

West Plano (Legacy Town Center, Shops at Legacy) is a great place to stay with hotels and bars/restaurants and is just a mile or less south of the above intersection.

As they fill up, Allen is another decent place to stay with a bunch of Hotels, restaurants, bars at the Villages at Allen and Fairview.

McKinney has some decent places also.

Farther down the line, Addison (along the Dallas North Tollway) has a lot of restaurants of the higher end Brazilian Steakhouses as well as better Steak places like 3-Forks.

Thats about as far away as I would go.

BTW, I'm a Bison alum that lives 20 miles away from the stadium so I have been to all the games in Frisco.  I'll go to support YSU if somebody fronts me a YSU ballcap (hopefully in the midst of the JMU side) or tells me where your pregame festivities are so I can buy one if your bookstore has a store down there like NDSU brings.  I can't root for JMU, sorry.

Do the MVFC proud and regain your title!  Go Guins!

I have 8 hospitality wristbands available for YSU fans only. These are really cool and you get some features other fans don't.

I was given a wristband the first year I went to Frisco by a friend. I thought it was unnecessary until we got to the game. Early access to the game, free buffet in the River Club, cash bar, clean restrooms, snacks at halftime, drinks during breaks in the game (it is the only place you can have alcohol during the game), and for the times it has been cold or damp, it is a great place to warm up or even watch the game from. Also, there is a featured speaker before the game. I liked Tim Brown the best.

I didn't include seat tickets because there are so many options and some people want to pick and choose. Some people go for the cheaper SRO tickets, get the wristbands, and spend the whole game in the River Club. With the construction going on and the whole end zone seats unavailable, this is like getting the creature comforts of a suite at a fraction of the cost. They limit the amount of wristbands, so it won't ever get crazy packed in there. You can go in and out during the game, so how much you use it is up to you.

I will mail these out where they are tracked. I will sell these for face value at $110. I pay shipping. PM me with the quantity you want. I would prefer they are in even quantities so I am not left with one. We can do PayPal or if there is something else you feel comfortable with, we can talk about those details. I have them in hand, so as soon as payment has cleared, I send them out immediately. PM me and we can discuss details.

Edited: Changed quantity. Sold 6. Now at 8.

Absolutely true....They do NOT sell beer or alcohol in the stadium in the general admission area.  You can fill up before the game in the tailgate area or get the hospitality wristband, but otherwise the stadium is dry.

Tix for $52 for the game: https://fcs.flashseats.com/default.aspx?pid=18&ec=9000000000016140&ss=47

While there are no real bad seats at Toyota Stadium, most of these are the worst ones available (deep corners).  There are plenty of face value tickets available on the 30 yard lines.

Absolutely true; There really aren't any bad seats.  There are only ~ 30 rows, so even from the top row you get great views.  Sections 103-109 and 124-130 are the best.  The rest are OK, but from ~ 10 yd line to goal line.

I spoke to someone from the bookstore on Saturday and they said they would have shirts this upcoming week, assuming we won.

Give them a call in a couple days. Maybe they will post something on their store site too.

Whatever you do, please don't embarrass the MVFC and do this:
