This is great news!  Another ECAC West team!!!
 
But...  If they are going to build a new area, why only 2300 seats???  I would
think that something larger would be in order, especially if they hope to
upgrade to a full Div. I program some day.  Or at least allow for an expansion
of more than 500 seats.  This is about the same size at RIT's rink.
 
Living in Rochester, where our new baseball stadium is in jeopardy due to state
budget cuts, I must ask if part of the $6M cost coming from state funding???
