Thank you 254 and 1868 for doing this again this year! 971 is planning on making it down again. We had a blast last year.

So lucky! I wish there was a legit big scrimmage & practice weekend here in Minnesota. There's one but it's like wood and somewhat weak practice field... last year the field like ripped apart from the impact (but I still do appreciate it very much! Better something than nothing).

If 114 is operational by then, we sure would like to come down. I'll talk to the team and see if we'll be planning on making it!
