Something I realized after looking at my Final Five tickets recently, and
after seeing an ad on TV this weekend, the Thursday night "Play-in" game
tickets only cost $5.  Being a Milwaukee resident when I'm not at school, I
know there are plenty of people that would shell out five bucks to see a game.
 
In addition, should Bucky get past North Dakota this weekend, they would
probably (unless two of CC, Minn, Denver, and UMD lose this weekend) be
playing in that Thursday night game.  I would love to see the Bradley Center
filled for College Hockey again.  I was a little disappointed 2 years ago,
when they couldn't even fill the place (holds 18,000) for the Badger game in
the Final Five.
 
The last time I've seen the place filled for hockey was the Final Four in
'93.  That was a great atmosphere for College Hockey.
