I'm torn. I don't want to support anything to do with that Winter Classic that should be in Minnesota, but on the other hand, anything would be better than having to go to that dump that smells like a porta potty in August they call Joe Louis.Having a clear conscience just means you have a bad memory or you had a boring weekend.

I don't know why they did it but it certainly is a breath of fresh air. I actually get information.
If Tech had won on thursday I would assume most of the alumni would go again on friday, so it's not a surprise after a loss. As far as the friday game yes but maybe all the tickets were sold to the msu crowd. certainly most of the seats were full by the time of the called back goal. Most people around me were michigan fans. Where I sat on thursday many of the Mtu people were with their wives. I'd be surprised if you could talk a wife into going to the outdoor game, but maybe.
Joe Louis is older and the wings last year did not extend the lease. We do need a new rink but I don't know what has been done since then. It's 300 million to build new and 200 to renovate JLA.I would expect a new building but when?
Maybe it's who you sit by bb because it doesn't smell down by the ice.Last edited by manurespreader; 01-05-2012, 08:03 AM.MTU: Three time NCAA champions.

Yeah, the smelly fire escape staircase to what is ordinarily supposed to be a club exclusive to suite holders is hilarious.
Some friends and I were talking about JLA the other day. Pittsburgh spent what, $320 million-ish on Consol? The Illitches should be able to finance their own version of the Ralph if they want, it's just a matter of how much they can shake the city down for first.

Huskies make an excellent jogging companion, as long as it is not too hot. Grooming is minimal; bathing is normally unnecessary.

Originally posted by aparch View PostEven if you did all four games, the only scheduling conflict would be the actual Winter Classic game. Just move the dates for the games, or use JLA as the backup venue. Wasn't it Boston that hosted the Winter Classic, two mens college games, a womens college game, the NHL alumni skate, NHL practices, and family skates?
Holding even the Championship game or 3rd/Championship day would be easy.

Originally posted by bigmrg74 View PostThe GLI is usually done sometime between the week of Christmas and New Years Eve. It shouldn't be that big of a deal to have a rink all set up and ready to go early enough that the GLI teams can get some practice on it, along with it being made NHL ready. The one real complaint I could see with it from the players and coaches is that they would have to play on 2 totally different surfaces within a day. That, and I kinda think they might like to just do the opening round of the GLI at the Big House just so they can set it up on that day that Michigan plays Michigan State in the opening round. Still, I could see them shooting to do both days at the Big House, with the Joe being a backup.
The Joe does need to be replaced. The worst part about the Joe is that there's nothing around the Joe to do after the game. Putting it closer to the other stadiums would put it near a lot of local bars and clubs, giving people more options of stuff to do after the game other than to leave the JLA parking garage right after the game.Originally posted by SCSU EuroWhat are you TALKING about?
