    Probably not... kind of wish we still played at Lakeview. That's an interesting old barn.

        I'd love to see a Tech/Northern game at Lakeview sometime, but it's unlikely.

          Have a throwback game at the old rink.. wear the old jerseys the whole nine yards.. sounds like a great time to me.

            The only reason they hang Bob Johnson's banner is they're looking for as many ties to the State of MN as possible.

              Naw, Badger Bob personally hung three NCAA title banners at UW, so I think the connection to Wisconsin is strong enough.

              That, and, you know, the nickname.

If you're in the upper seats near a corner on the non-luxury box side, you'd need a voice like a jet engine just to be heard at ice level.
                It's not a free standing hockey arena, or it would not have been designed that way. Magness had to be designed to fit inside a 440,000 sq. ft existing footprint within a larger athletic center - the building had to accommodate a 7,200 seat basketball configuration with an an Olympic size natatorium, a 3,000 seat gymnastics and basketball practice gym, a second practice ice sheet, a 215 foot tall bell tower, meeting rooms, a TV studio, a huge fitness center and several intramural gyms, a sports medicine clinic, 15 locker rooms, offices etc all under the same roof. That's why the seats go up so high on the ends, etc.

                    Whatever, there in no reason to design an arena the way they did...that place and CC seating is very similar which tells me its a style choice, not a requirement to meet all of those other things...Why not have a full bowl? or have a horseshoe with nothing on one end?

                      Only if they bring back the old clear boards.

                        Home and Home at Lakeview and the Dee.

                        though that would be a total nightmare at the Dee, with soft ice and very limited seating

                          Tech and NMU likely never played at the Dee anyway, as the JMSIA was a few years into its life when Northern started their program.

                              You can bring booze into the Mac too . You can bring basically anything in as long as an opposing player's mom doesn't complain about how much it's ruining her whole trip.

                                One of the most miserable places to watch a hockey game from if you're a visiting fan. Can't hear announcers, can't see scoreboard, horrible sight lines... They really need to blow that place up.
