Think there's enough interest to get our own bus (or van) to Florence? What's the reservation time on something like that?

If we ran something down I would probably be interested in going.

At the fanclub table i had a signup sheet for Baltimore and no one was interested. Mostly cause it was a weekday. Given the fact that the all-star game is played on friday i doubt a bus would fare any better. If we take a bus we are looking at 10hrs on the road easily and people would probably have to pay over $50 per person plus a ticket. For example, i got a quote last season on a bus to Erie, Pa and it came in something like $1800.00 for a bus carrying 52 people. That was cheaper cause it was "in state" travel. I think we had 10 people sign up for that so instead we just rented a van and went out with 14 people.
As i said earlier, if anyone wants to drive down and share the fuel expenses i am all in. But i plan on leaving on Thuirsday and coming back Sunday morning. Otherwise, i am taking AMTRAK down leaving from Lancaster where i hear they have parking for cars so that way i dont need anyone to drop me off and pick me up.

I'll be a fan of the northern conference representative whomever that may be  Seriously, though, even if the Legends make it, I can't leave until the Thursday night before the All-Star Game, so I'll be driving. At this point, yes, I am planning on going. |
