I disagree ... sort of ;-) I think the current administration is doing a *wonderful* job at getting fans in the house, making noise and having fun! Less season tickets means more empty seats and less revenue. There just aren't a lot of other "excited fans" that would come every game. The 5, 10 and 20-year season ticket holders are generally quieter. SO WHAT?! They'll make noise now and again; some may arrive late and leave early; most will be there EVERY game, or will find a friend to use the tickets. The noise comes from the student crowd that isn't shelling out $17/seat/game, and the students are coming in DROVES and having a BLAST! Plus there's the hard-working staff and volunteers making everyone's experience the best it can be! What's wrong with all that: nothing, IMHO. Add a few more goals per game and a championship trophy or three, and this has to be the greatest place for a college hockey fan. cheers, wayne
