thanks guys

Looks like

1. work on flights,

2. get hotel (the thought of being bumped from a hotel in Barrow does not sound appealing to me) - I did check and there is still is inventory for sale during the times I hope to be there.

3. rent a car

Since these football teams fly in and out, does anyone know if they fly out the day of game, I ask b/c that would of course mean that the game had to be done by the time the flight leaves. Since I have no idea what time the game would start (or get over), its hard to select the Sat evening flight. Also since my purpose of going is to be at the game, then I need to make sure I am there for the game hence why I want to arrive on Friday.

BobW I have to ask, what line of work are you in to have you fly to BRW regularly?

drseagrass, thank you for the ideas/info

missamo80 - I'd definitely consider attending a BRW do during a game weekend. We could double the attendance lol
