For someone who only occasionally attends games at Yost, this is bad news
indeed.  I've been there and "sat" in the end sections and back in the
corners.  The ends are passable but the corners are not.  Usually you
don't sit in those sections, you stand, often times behing a pole.  To
all you Michigan fans out there, I realize there is a lot of history
associated with Yost Arena, but do you think the university will ever
consider building a new ice arena?  With the strength of the program
and the size of the institution, I think it would be justified.
