Hi everyone!

The "MN Superheroes United" group got this e-mail this week...

Hey John,

I know it is a ways off but I am starting to the plan the 2009 HopeKids (Kids with Cancer) HopeDay Festival again. This year it is September 13th (12-4pm) and rather than being at Beirman Athletic Field at U of M, it is INSIDE the brand new TCF Bank Stadium! How cool is that! The stadium opens the night before with football against Air Force and our Festival is there the next day!

You guys were such a HUGE hit at the Festival last year, I would LOVE to have you all there again and, even more, if available.

What do you think, will you be able to commit again?

Thanks!

Josh

I responded that I was sure that some of us would be able to make it...

...and I also offered to post this info on the "Star Wars" MN Force Message Board as well, so here it is!

Josh said he would be contacting Steve Carter too but I thought I'd pass this info along so that you can check / mark your calendars!

(BTW, it's the Sunday AFTER Labor Day / Dragon*Con!)

Yeah, I finally got around to posting this on the 501st boards. Hopefully we will have good weather again this year and a great turnout.
It will be awesome having an event in the new stadium on opening weekend!

We have a special parking area assigned behind the track, but there aren't too many open parking spaces. Bierman Field is located at 516 15th Avenue SE in Minneapolis. (This is NORTH of the campus.) Enter the facility via 15th Avenue, just north of 5th St SE. Drive around the south side of the buildings (driving parallel to 5th St SE). There is a special parking area on the east side of those buildings (it might be marked handicapped) at the south end of the track. Our green room will be in those buildings, and the entrance to the track is right off that parking lot. There is a fence around the track that will keep us "under wraps" until we make our grand entrance. If the are no open spaces to park, then drop off your bin in the green room and then park in a free ramp south of the field between 5th St and 4th St. The entrance is along 17th Ave, and once you have parked there is an access path you can walk to the field from 5th St.

I'm stuck working tomorrow

Had a great time doing this event last year so I'm disappointed I can't make it this time

Sorry you missed it, John. We even got a brief walk-thru of the new TCF stadium and got some nice pics there. We have been invited back next year, and they are hoping to move the venue to the big stadium (assuming there are no conflicts with night games again). It is the Sunday after Labor Day weekend.
