Elmira possibly moving to First Arena?

Re: Elmira possibly moving to First Arena?

Not many drink beer as you think. At $7.50 a pop for stale beer it's not even worth it. Plus from what i understand college athletics don't have to serve alcohol and often don't. They don't at EC Games from what I remember. When the Frozen Four came here mooms ago I don't believe alcohol was served. The uneducated aren't even Jackals fans, they are the weirdos from Pennsyltucky who look out of their league and always somehow get free tickets then get wasted. Doubt those kind would come to EC Games. Plus you aren't counting the number of potential students who miht come who aren't now.

Utica sells beer at the Utica Aud and I imagine Elmira might be able to do the same given the fact its an off-campus facility just like the Utica Aud.

Also, alcohol is available at EC games, it's just restricted to the booster club lounge which is only open in between intermissions and after the game.

Well it looks like this mess is "over" and they claim the Jackals are staying.

Though with Afr I have a lot of doubts here. He doesn't like using an arena he doesn't own and his asking price likely won't be cheap. He turned down $17 million for everything years ago.

The crappy word "Confidential" is involved here, what a joke for a place thats allegedly going to be on the tax rolls.
