Anyone have a realistic sense of how much it would cost to charter a flight from somewhere near Worcester to somewhere near Brookings and how much we’d have to charge per person to get it done assuming we could fill such a flight?

Ask the NCAA....
They're booking right now for a football team from Worcester.

Depending on the aircraft size the flight could land in Brookings. Likely would need to be Sioux Falls. Sioux Falls is 50 miles/an hour drive straight up the Interstate.
Would love to see Crusader fans make the trek out. Friday night weather in the 20s. Saturday looks to be 30s-40s but wintry mix rain/snow.

Good to be back, I remember the few Crusader fans coming out a year and a half ago as being great people!

Please send recommendations for bars/restaurants on Thursday night. I’m making the assumption our game will be on Friday.

I do like the SDSU people. It’s too bad we have to get our payback next week.

Anyone know the day/time of the game? I think Sam Herder was speculating it might be Friday night and air on ESPN2.

I for one am obviously hoping it’s hard fought but also know our players are extremely generous and giving…I think their goal is to ensure Holy Cross players get a nice holiday break to spend with their families. 😁

Very impressed with both lines for both teams (Jacks and Saders). Going to be a great game (I hope!). Looks like the PL will be getting a little more respect in the future. For me there were three telling MVFC games: NDSU nearly avoiding an upset at Indiana State, 31-26, the Dakota Marker going to SDSU 23-21, then SDSU dismantling Indiana State at home 49-7. SDSU>NDSU IMHO.
For history purposes, I would like to be heading to Sacramento. I think we match up really well against Sac State. I am happy, however, to play the good people of South Dakota and exact cold revenge for 2021! (Here's hoping anyway!) Good luck to Jacked...happy to have you posting again.
JetBlue flights to Minneapolis are not too bad right now. Significantly cheaper than flying to Sioux Falls even with a rental car factored in. Trying to sell the boss on the concept here!

FWIW, just sent an email request for possible flights to SD to Kit, Nick and Justin.
I wouldn’t mind paying to be in the same flights as the team a la 45 with the basketball team way back when the Crusaders were in the basketball playoffs.

As someone else posted, it’s not that hard to fly to MSP Friday and fly back Saturday night or Sunday on JetBlue via Minneapolis. 3.5 hour drive from MSP to Brookings.

I’ve reached out to Nick for the team hotel to stay at on Friday. He will let me know today for those who would like to stay there.

Been to MSP perhaps a dozen-15 times on business trips and once made a wrong turn (pre-GPS days and given bad directions from my "navigator" - probably had the map upside down) and almost ended up in SD. Went once to SD but that was on purpose. Certainly would prefer to fly to SD directly and as our friendly SD poster says, drive the 50 miles from there unless we have so many we could charter a bus and go as a group.

12:00 ET is a fantastic time slot for this game and will generate a ton of eyeballs from the casual sports fan.
First, it's on big ESPN. Not Plus, U, or 2...big boy ESPN.
It's the ONLY football game on. Not competing with the NFL, FBS, or any other FCS games.
It's a great precursor to Army - Navy, which is on at 3:00.
How many millions of dollars have the football team generated for the college in earned media this year?
Winning is fun.
