 This is disappointing news.  If both games are going to be at Mariucci it's
 going to be difficult for any Badger fans to get tickets.  Even though I can
 never seem to attend a Wisconsin/Minnesota sporting event (any sport) where
 "my" team wins, it was always fun to sit in a big building watching the fans
 battle it out as fiercly as the players on the ice.  The border battle won't
 be the same.
