I am a student who faithfully attends every home game at the Alfond. I
think that it is sad that many students who wish to get tickets cannot,
because of the low amount of tickes available for them. Granted we
don't have to pay for our tickets, but we do pay for them in other
ways...tuition being the main reason. Yes Maine hockey is popular with
the general public, but there is a main issue being looked over
here....It is a college team, the team represents a school. And when
those students cannot have a certain alotted space given to them to
cheer on the team, the arena is quiet and dead. In any game you only
see a few hundred students, if that, cheering on the school. Not to be
rude, but the rest of the crowd just sits there. It's a game not a
funeral. The only time that they cheer is when the team scores and that
is sad.
