Does Bemidji ever get on a plane and come east for non conference games?
Not very often. With tight travel budgets, and having Duluth, St. Cloud, St. Thomas, Minnesota and North Dakota all being easy bus trips, and most willing to do home and home games, they really don't have to. Fans would like to see more variety on the schedule, but I get it with budget constraints.
I believe I heard once that they try to do a "destination" trip every four years, so each class gets to experience one.
