Uber Offering Helicopter Ride Service for Fans Attending CFP Championship Game

"Quick! Get to da Ubaah!"

If you do not yell this before boarding the UberCHOPPER, you are wasting everyone's time. 

Indeed, the UberCHOPPER is a very real helicopter you can reserve with your phone, and as of Monday morning, Uber is offering its premium airborne taxis as shuttles for football fans in North Texas looking to arrive in Nixon-esque style at the inaugural College Football Playoff National Championship.

The Dallas Morning News' Brandon Formby reports that the ride costs $350 per person, and no, the helicopter does not pick you up at your home or hotel.

According to Formby, users reserving an UberCHOPPER will be picked up by car and taken to Love Field, where they will board their helicopter for an aerial tour of Dallas before being dropped off at a helipad near AT&T Stadium. No word yet on whether or not passengers will be able to Bluetooth Creedence Clearwater Revival songs over the chopper sound system and/or strafe local livestock during said tour.

As for the returning leg, Formby reports that passengers who arrived via helicopters will be provided an UberBLACK ride home. 

I'll say this about the UberCHOPPER: As someone who has languished in four hours of traffic getting to and from Jerry World, I would pay unholy sums to avoid sitting in Arlington gridlock. The pre- and postgame scrum is a tangle of humanity beyond description. Purgatory is a bus of hungover fans stuck in bumper-to-bumper traffic on I-30 East. 

In any event, these aerial shuttles will probably fare better than the original UberCHOPPER.
