Re: MN @ WI: The Real Battle Of Interstate 94
I haven't attended a game there but have heard from a number of people who have.
It's basically the exact opposite of Mariucci: if you attend a game here, there is no bad seat anywhere in the arena, but the atmosphere is generally terrible. Even when MN was fielding strong teams contending for national championships, it was dead in there for games not involving UND, SCSU, or UW. This is a product of corporate seats combined with older fans being generally intolerant of anyone daring to make a lot of noise / act like a typical rowdy hockey fan.
I've been sworn at by middle aged people for daring to yell at a game. I've also been talked to by the police for the same reason. In neither case was I drunk or using foul language. It's a joke that this would happen in a hockey arena, yet it's the norm here. The vocal fans have been silenced with threats of removal by rent-a-cops sent to them by the idiot elderly that don't want their peaceful knitting interrupted at games.
