Attendance was down at Clarkson both nights.  Only 2200 fans saw Friday
nights action, and 2450 were there Saturday (usually 3000 to 3200).  This
was really surprising considering 3600 fans showed up last Friday night
against Cornell.  A big difference was that the ECAC sets the pricing
guidelines for the all playoff admissions ($8), where as Clarkson usually
does not charge students admission to the games.  Does any other school
give the students free-bees during the regular season??
