USAToday: "Camping World Bowl is Officially Sold Out"

https://fightingirishwire.usatoday.com/2019/12/24/camping-world-bowl-officially-sold-out/

They have some nice things to say about us. Hadn't heard this from other sources. Technically, it's sold out on the "initial market" but there are tickets available on the secondary market.

I like this statement: "So there you go, for the first time since Notre Dame played Florida State in the then-Champs Sports Bowl and for now just the second time ever, the Camping World Bowl has sold out."

Last minute flights

Anyone in north iowa/southern mn in need of transportation? You can get a round trip flight from rochestor, mn to orlando for $519 on american airlines. Flight leaves tomorrow mid day and lands in orlando late. return flight either saturday after the game at 5:30, or on sunday with multiple options. One stop in chicago both ways. Hopefully someone can take advantage of this pretty good price.

Busch Light Orlando Cyclonefanatic Charter

It’s not my preferred beverage but I know it is for some. I don’t want to create a stampede but I Just left the walgreens across from the Hyatt regency where the cyclonefanatic charter is staying. They have six 18 packs of Busch light. It’s not in the cooler. It’s warm. Manager said it’s all they had. I suggested he ask for more or at least put it in the cooler. He didn’t sound impressed.

House Divided Brewery now open.

I haven't been there yet, and had no idea that they were now open until a few days ago:
House Divided Brewery
1620 Dows St, Ely, IA 52227

Ely is on the southern end of the bike trail that at least once stretched from Waterloo to Cedar Rapids (discovered in recent years that some of those sections are in desperate need of renovation) and was more recently extended to Ely (supposedly it is "within a few hundred feet of being complete all the way to Solon").

"House Divided" is owned by a couple, one a Cyclone fan, the other a Hawkeye fan, who vow to have the televisions in their brewery/sampling area, equally divided between Cyclone and Hawkeye sports.

Looking at their website (https://www.housedividedbrewery.com/) shows that they have a limited number of their own beers, as well as a few other beers, most of which are brewed by breweries local to Ely, Iowa.

I like the fact that they are in Ely, which will improve my bike ride there (Odie's is a fine small town bar, and the place to head to for food on that end of the trail, but not much for beer selection). Hopefully IF the trail ever is completed to Solon, they won't get bypassed in favor of Big Grove's original location.

If you have visited House Divided, please leave your comments and impressions. All of us who have not visited are curious.
