Thoughts on going to Laramie

[Tony (admin)]

I’m “toying” with going to the Wyoming game. I’ve heard that place is awful, terrible. Google says it’s a 5.5 hour drive too. So there are some reasons not to go. Any thoughts?

Wait a minute. Just looked at my calendar. I’m going to a concert in Denver the night after the Wyoming game. This is shaping up to be a hell of a road trip.

I’m driving out Saturday morning and only staying 1 night. Hotel rooms were outrageous… Pretty sure there will be some lot lizards hanging at the place I’m staying.

Bugger. I don’t want to pay that much for a hotel. Guess I could go straight to Denver after the game. It’s only a couple of hours.

It’s like an hour to ft collins, plenty of places to stay along I-25 headed south there

I’m going to the game and making a weekend out of it. Heading out Friday and returning on Sunday. I’ve always wanted to watch a game there since it’s the highest altitude stadium in the US at over 7200 feet. Laramie hotel prices are outrageous and I’m only staying there because I used some of my hotel points very early in the game, well before I even bought my tickets. If you were to stay the night, your best bet would be going down to Cheyenne, which is close by and a much bigger town than Laramie. Hotel prices there were very reasonable when I checked earlier in the year.

Anyone know the Visitor section at Memorial Stadium and/or the student section (to avoid – I think it’s the whole East side lower level)?

I got this from an AI search:

“At War Memorial Stadium in Laramie, Wyoming, visitor seating is primarily located in Section E and the upper rows of Sections NDU through NJU. Section E is behind the visitor’s sideline and offers a view near midfield, according to RateYourSeats.com. Additionally, Sections NKU and NLU are also designated for visitor seating, according to RateYourSeats.com.”

I think the last time Utah played at Wyoming the power went out.

The only redeeming quality of Wyoming fans was their hatred for BYU.

This reminds me of the NIU game. Why are we playing there and if Utah comes out flat they could lose.

Nothing good can come from this game. Win and it no big deal. Lose and it’s a season wrecker.

You are forgetting the major upside of the cute Laramie girls – the ones that only dip Copenhagen in their lower lip and not in both the lower and upper lips.

I don’t disagree that there is very little value to this game, but I have always enjoyed games in Laramie. It is usually an enthusiastically hostile environment that has a unique vibe. Maybe it is just me being nostalgic, but I’d take the old WAC/Mountain West over the current conference (especially if that included the old ticket prices).
