- The Gopher Conference is being held in the Radisson Hotel MetroDome.
- It really isn't that close to the stadium, it's two blocks from Gopher
- Central and about 12 from the Stadium.
-
- The Radisson doesn't offer courtesy shuttles for their guests. You can
- get a taxi for around $20 one way. Another option is the Airport Express,
- this is a van that costs $10 per person one way, or $15 round trip.
-
- You can also take public transportation. The bus system is called the MTC
- and it provides fairly frequent and complete service. Board a #17
- bus at the airport. Pay the fare ($1 non-peak, $1.25 peak) and ask
- for a transfer. This bus will eventually take you to downtown
- Minneapolis. However the #17 makes a stop near the West Bank of the
- U of MN campus at Riverside and Cedar. Exit here and walk two blocks north
- on Cedar Ave. to the Washington Avenue Bus Shelter. You'll want to be
- on the south side of Washinton. Pick up an eastbound #16 bus, it will
- cross the bridge. About 5 blocks later you'll be at the Radisson Hotel
- (it's on your left).
-
-
- Here's how to get to the Radisson by car:
-
- The fastest/simplest way to get to the hotel is to go to 494 West
- from the airport. Follow 494 West for about 2-3 miles. Then
- take the 35W North exit. Follow 35W through downtown Minneapolis.
- Shortly thereafter you will see the signs for the University Avenue
- Exit. Take this exit and go right (East) on University Avenue.
- Go about 10 Blocks to Oak Street and take a right (South). You will
- see the Williams Arena on your left at this point. Go two blocks
- south to Washington Avenue. Take a right. Go two blocks to the
- Radisson. It's on your left.
