Please explain!  My understanding is that 1,500 tickets are available
yet many are not claimed.  What is meant by "low amount ... available"?

I would have guessed the main reason was a fee you paid.

But how did it get this way (few students)?  When the newest addition
was made, a major portion of one grandstand was *reserved* for students.
Can anyone tell us why that was changed?  I have some guesses, and I've
alluded to some possibilities in other postings on this subject.
 
I think it's time for the students that now attend to stop complaining
about non-students and get their fellow students to show up,
consistently and over the long haul.
 
Let's focus on the real problems not denigrate and harass fellow hockey
supporters.  :-(
