I didn't go this time. But in the past highway 29 is the autobond on the way back to MN. Seems they just stayed clear of it to get Viking fans home fast as possible.
Keith, your a sharp one buddy, did someone tell you that the U.P. is part of MI. or did you figure that out all on your own! Not that it matters to me what state you grew up in or currently live in but here's how I see it. Houghton to Green Bay is a 3.5 hr. ride where as Houghton to Detroit is a 9hr. ride so not only is it a third of the time to drive to a game but I can be with a fun crowd that loves there team and not to mention I might get to actually see my team win!
