ATTENTION NORTH DAKOTA FANS

THE FOLLOWING IS A PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT FOR NORTH DAKOTA HOCKEY FANS

If you're traveling to Duluth this weekend for the UMD-UND games, I want to make sure you arrive safely and in plenty of time for the games.

Friday night is the annual Christmas City of the North Parade in Duluth. It shuts down some roads in the Canal Park/Downtown area, and you need to be aware of where to go so you don't get stuck in traffic and miss the start of the game.

The parade begins at 6:30 near the DECC, so you'll want to wait until around 7:00 or so to arrive. By then, they should be cleared out of the DECC area.

But with that in mind, you're still going to have to get around some road closures and traffic snarls. When you head to the DECC from the west, you should follow the route pictured here.

If you're coming in from the east, you'll want to do as pictured below.

Hope to see you all at the DECC Friday night. Drive safely!
