Originally posted by Runsub5 View PostI had unused tickets as well. I'm having trouble justifying spending that kind of money on watching a less than mediocre team. I'm sure eventually the team will improve and I'll pay to watch them play some of the better teams occasionally.Originally posted by BobbyBrady

Originally posted by Drew S. View PostI'd be shocked if they aren't considerably cheaper next year. The administration has to be close to figuring out that what few season ticket holders they have left aren't going to continue to pay through the nose when there is plenty of availability of single game tickets.I swear there ain't no heaven but I pray there ain't no hell.

You are right. Price drops, unless you are involved in some highly competetive high tech industry, are rarely viable in most business plans. They just don't help the bottom line.Last edited by hobeyfaker; 03-06-2016, 08:25 PM.

Re: Maine Black Bears - Return to the Glory Years or On to Oblivion?
Just a UPDATE on a few who said after the Holiday Break (mid-December) that Denver would fold like a house of Cards...@ the Break 7-7-5...Now @ 21-8-7...Ranked #6 this week in the uscho.com Poll...and ranked in a tie for #6 in the Pairwise Rankings with Yale...boy did they fold. Granted Denver has better talent and was way better off then Maine, but remember too, that to keep a good team going you have to have someone behind the Bench to push the right buttons. Good for #19.

BDN - Mahoney's article today - prediction for next year - "Barring injuries, next year’s Maine team should win at least 14 games with its improved skill level, easier nonconference schedule and maturation."
Good enough to hold the season tickets for?
But, the incoming class sounds good and hopefully the guys returning gain over the summer.

Talking season ticket holders, here at UNH the Admin almost laughs at those loyal enuf to maintain their season tickets, by offering 4 tickets for $44 frequently during the season....last year we couldn't sellout Michigan or Notre Dame! Ridiculous.....

It's kinda funny that all the Maine fans here ignore the fact that once-mighty UNH is essentially in the same boat as the Bears are, even with Umile at the helm, whose career has been pretty stellar for a very long time.
Times are changing for a number of reasons, but I do miss the days when both programs were relevant. Call me a heretic yet again, but I was a huge UNH fan back in the day when they were good, and playing OOC and/or in the NCAAs. (Unless they were facing Maine, of course. )Last edited by Fishman'81; 03-07-2016, 08:14 PM.

Originally posted by riverchief1 View PostI remember the days when Lowell would actively market to UNH fans as they traveled in large numbers, trying to get them to come to away games in Lowell as it was an easy ticket to get and it would put bodies in the seats and money in the coffers. Whittemore South is what the Tsongas used to be called. Now Lowell leads Hockey East in attendance and is eighth in the nation, averaging 5,615 this year. But UNH is 15th which is still pretty good at a 4,892 average.

I totally agree Fishman 81.....that Championship game back in 99 was awesome! Alfie Michaud played his finest game to earn you guys the title....that and the linesman who kept the puck in the zone, when UNH was transitioning fast but left Dimitrakos down by the goalie, slowly getting up to rejoin the play.....oops!
