    Hell, even Bemidji State season tix start at $325 (okay, $275 in the family section)...

      I guess I shouldn't b*tch about the $60 that I paid for season tickets this season, eh?

      Granted, the HFH is nothing like Magness (a pretty nice arena, from the games I saw there) and Mariucci (which I have not been to). But, it's still better than Messa or Starr.

      I really want to make it to Appleton at some point (hopefully when Clarkson is in town) and I'm finally hitting Lynah tomorrow. The Whit, Alfond, Ingalls, and Conte are really the only other 4 arenas at which I really, really want to see a great rivalry game.

        Well I guess I will not complain when I can pay $400 for the season and it will include free beer and wine between periods, and for one hour after the game.
        You guys need to stop playing so many games.

          Old Williams arena was great but you could never see unless you were sitting in the first row in the upper deck.
          Slap Shot - 444 might want to consider a restraining order.
          dggoddard - Minnesota is THE ELITE Program in all of college hockey.
          wasmania - you have to be the very best to get ice time with the great gophers!

            I hate you all. That being said, I have the least expensive seat in the house. I think the highest priced tickets are going to go for something like $60 a game next year (or more).

              Season tickets were about 60 each at tech when I was a student. Pretty sweet when you consider you get to watch MN, WI, UND, DU, etc for that price. Not that great when you consider that you have to watch tech attempt to play hockey.
              Having a clear conscience just means you have a bad memory or you had a boring weekend.

                BC had a season ticket package this year for $150 as well and given the quality of the product, that's quite a bargain too........ BTW, great reads PuckSwami ,as usual

They basically rehabbed the entire existing structure from roof to lighting to sound and ice, they then took the old spaces under the arena and used them for expanded concessions and hospitality. To attract the new recruits, they created tens of thousands of new space underground around the rink for new locker rooms, training facilities and offices for the coaching staffs. The building still holds it's original charm, while the amenities to both athletes and spectators have been upgraded significantly. BTW, they bought a new traditional four sided score board, no video.

                    I never got to Northford Arena before Q quit playing there. From all reports, I didn't miss much.

                    As for the Tennity Ice Skating Pavilion at Syracuse University -- I've never had the opportunity of watching a game there since Brown and Syracuse have never met in ice hockey. The closest I've been is the ancient (1951) Onondaga War Memorial Auditorium in downtown Syracuse for an edition of the old Syracuse Invitational Tournament back in the mid-70s.

                      You're not missing much with either of the rinks. The War Memorial is a nice place to watch the Crunch play.

                          I really like open concourses. The Ralph definately has the nicest things, but I think Mariucci has the best layout of the limited number of college arenas I've attended games at. Amsoil is beautiful as well.

                            Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.

                              The incline got steeper about halfway up the lower deck, from roughly this point to where the pillars started to get in the way where pretty good two. About 15 rows or so....

                                That includes the donation. $750ish plus $100 donation.
