Cat Fight March 3rd

Post by AJWILDCAT » Thu Feb 22, 2018 11:33 am

Greetings Bobcat fans, My wife and I are coming up to Bozeman for the MSU vs WSU game and I am looking for any helpful info. Whats the arena like? Is it hard to get tickets? Where is a good place to park? Do they have shirts available at the games to buy? I am also looking for recommendations on the best local places to eat. No national chains please. I have been up there a few times for football but have never been to a basketball game there and I am very much looking forward to it. Praying for good weather for my trip up there. Good luck the rest of the season.

Welcome! If you enjoy a good cinnamon roll or caramel pecan roll for breakfast, catch the coffee pot near four corners on the way to Gallatin Gateway. Well worth the trip! Definitely not a chain.


While registering my vehicles the assessor stated "I have had both Cat and Griz students and alums work for me and the Griz end up working under the direction of the Cats."

Greetings! Tickets are not hard to come by, the men's basketball team has under-performed expectations this year and games don't sell out, other than the griz game. There is a big parking lot on the south side of the fieldhouse that should have ample parking (between the fieldhouse and the football stadium).

My personal favorite non-fancy local eats are:
Ale Works - good all around menu, nice atmosphere.
The Garage, for the ribs and the soup bar.
The Roost, for the chicken.

Lucky you. I can't imagine what it's like to root for a winning men's basketball program. I'm sure you won't be disappointed.
I think there's a couple of rows in Section 111 right behind the visiting team bench that are reserved for visiting fans. You might check with the ticket office about that. The rest of Section 111 is for students, but since hardly any students go you can probably sit there right behind your team. There's usually a handful of visiting fans sitting there. Otherwise get reserved seats in Section 109. It generally doesn't matter, there's always a multitude of good seats available.

Thank you all for the suggestions. I am also wondering what is the best place in town to get a steak?

I was just out in Belgrade this weekend and had a really good steak at The Mint. If you want some place in Bozeman, I would recommend Open Range.

Ted's is really good, it's right downtown.

If you don't mind driving for 20-30 minutes, there are 3 wonderful places NW of Bozeman.
Sir Scott's Oasis - great prime rib
Land of Magic, and
Sacajawea Inn - both have amazing steaks

Always the best is Sir Scott oasis in Manhattan. You will need a reservation.

Ted's is also a chain, so no Bueno.

My vote would also be for the Oasis. It might look like a bit of a hole in the wall, but don't let that fool you... the rustic, old-school atmosphere and service - not many restaurants still serve a relish tray these days, nor serve their steaks on a piping hot steel platter - are just a part of the charm.

If the weather is good, the drive over to Livingston to The Rib and Chop House is well worth it.


Eric Curry STILL makes me sad.

We will be visiting Livingston hopefully the beginning of Football season. A trip over from Bozeman to catch up with old friends. Trying to figure out where the Chop House is? Looks like maybe the old Martins Cafe? Sounds like a good place for dinner!

Ennis has the Gravel Bar and Grill, Willow Creek Cafe, Land of Magic in Logan, the Sacagewa in Three Forks and Sir Scotts in Manhattan. All of these are good and if you fish, I don't need to say more...plus, you can get a little of the what that part of the state used to be like. A couple are pricey but they are still within reason.

Edit* Based on what you wrote, I'd suggest you take in Willow Creek...or check out the Pony Bar...
