FRISCO, Texas — For Matt Puetz and his son, Connor, they are glad to finally be at their hotel in Frisco after the two-day trek from Bismarck.
"It wasn't an option," Matt Puetz said. "(I) told my son to grab the bags, throw them in truck and we're gone."
They were on the road 10 minutes after their flight from North Dakota was canceled.
"I'm sure I forgot something but there's a Scheels here," Matt Puetz said.
It's stories like Puetz's that had Skip Espeseth and his wife making decisions like a hurry up offense.

"We have to get to Frisco, there is no ifs, ands or buts about it," said Espeseth.
He and his wife had plane tickets for late Thursday afternoon, Jan. 6, out of Fargo. Unwilling to roll the dice if it would take off — which it did — they hopped in the car and drove for the first time.
"I never want to do it again," Espeseth said.
Bison Nation is doing whatever it takes to get to Frisco to continue a decade of tradition.
"Now it's time to have fun, we will," said Puetz with a laugh.
One hotel across from Toyota Stadium reported three dozen cancellations in two days due to fans unable to make it.
