UAA: Patiently Waiting For Next Season, Every Season...

[Jimjamesak]

Bentley one of the worst? I beg to differ. Admittedly no one will mistake the John A. Ryan Arena for a "state of the art" facility, but what it lacks in glitz it makes up for it in other areas. Free parking. Inexpensive admission. Decent concession stand. Better sight lines than some of the new arenas. More leg room than the Agganis Arena. No propaganda on the boards or on some flashing message bored telling me what type of health insurance to buy. No stupid "Kiss Cam" or Sumo wrestler relays. All they do at the John A. Ryan is PLAY HOCKEY!!!

Alright you boys take ya East Coast arguments elsewhere now...

I have been trying to find out when the Sully will start the seat replacement, paint, etc. Nothing on-line to show when they will start. It will look so nice when it is done!

When were you able to see the new seats?

Someone gave us tickets to one of the last Aces games.. A lady sitting next to me (yellow seats, a couple rows from the glass) told me she had been an Aces season-ticket holder for the past 8 years, but that now that they were changing out the seats, the ones she's always had will be changing over to "premium seating". She said she planned to select seats in another area of the arena because the Aces were more than doubling prices for premium seats.

I'm assuming "premium" are the new dark green padded seats? She said they had samples of the them over by the Dog Pound entry so I went over and checked them out. I like the dark green color of the padded ones a lot. Good choice! I'm wondering though.. will the Seawolves try to pad the prices for padded seats too?

BTW.. I hadn't been to an Aces game in a long time, but wow - their wet side is now massive! No clue when they expanded it?

I hope prices don't go up for UAA games, they are out of most people's entertainment budget as it is. I looked for the sample seats at one of the last UAA games, I even asked Sully staff, but were told they were put back in storage, so I never did get to see them. I guess they only had them out for Aces fans?

I wish UAA would expand on their wet side like the Aces do. This isn't unusual for college hockey, and that is the one section at the Sully that is usually the "most" full as it is.

So Arizona State is coming to the Kendall......
Or so the TV news says.
Nothing from the University.
Will it be the first D1 teams AS will face?
Who else is coming?
Besides the dump bears I mean.

Yes they are as ASU has announced it already.
UAA will most likely be.

The Farg is supposed to get a makeover this summer.
The existing locker room is small but nice by 1990 standards.
Supposedly getting redone with the rest of the building.

The Northern Light wrote some info about that on their website this afternoon .. http://www.thenorthernlight.org/2015...go-renovation/

Lol, that's awesome. I'd bet UAA's on campus practice rink is better...

Having been to both - Fargo is much better

Thanks. The article states that "Posters displaying the blueprint of the upgraded Wells Fargo Sports Complex will go up soon in the Wells Fargo Sports Complex spine and the Alaska Airlines Center". I wish there were a way to see them online!

Just saw news of some accusations about a Nanook hockey player. This cannot be good.
