Article on the Munn renovations.

If you want a fun blast to the past, go to picture 9 on the slideshow. The almost lime green center ice scoreboard that I believe saw it's last action in the Cold War game.

Hall of History has the prospect of being very cool.

I'm kind of partial to photo #5.

Well, look at this. The "front door" project is on the Spartan Fund website.

IMO, the project list is right - new offices, better locker rooms, chairback seating, recruiting room, new video and ribbon boards, exc. Still no practice rink, but that's a pretty pie-in-the-sky thing.

Also, for a cool $10 million, they'll name the building after 'ya.

Once I make my millions I'll donate with the stipulation they return the lime green scoreboard over center ice. I'll possibly allow a variation to include the new dark green.

Should be a cool project though. I don't really know if Munn needs ribbon boards, it just seems too small for them. But I guess they can do out-of-town scores and live stats with them, as well as rake in advertising money.

Working on the bake sale as we speak.

I have returned once again. Somehow my posting privileges stopped. Like I had to renew my password or something, I don't know. I just gave up instead. But now I slightly altered my name and here we gooooooo!

Welcome back. Now can you help us get some '98's into the program?

So, Chicago.

I can't imagine it'll be a well-attended event this year, but I'm not going to complain beyond that. We're not losing a home game, and, at the very least, it's exposure.

The JLA game isn't officially scheduled, but there isn't a Red Wings home game nor anything else scheduled at JLA on Jan. 30, and it's listed as "TBA" on MSU's website. So, assuming two-and-two equals four, JLA game on the 30th this season?

I'm pretty over the outdoor game fad.

The Cold War was incredible because it was looked at as revolutionary since it hadn't been done in a major stadium in many years. Now only that but I think it was #1 vs #4.
The Big Chill wasn't all too exciting, but it set the record which we figured Michigan would do at some point.

But Comerica, Hockey City, the games at TCF and Camp Randall... Even Minnesota didn't sell out their outdoor game, unless they removed seating for that.

But the players seem excited, and the bad ice conditions played to our favor last year so it's not all bad.

****ing slaughter, what does it matter. This program is dead.

Walked by the arena yesterday.

Ice is painted the same as last year. Boards and glass look about the same, though I'm not sure why I expected them to look any different, boards look the same in pretty much every arena. Probably have to wait until the season starts to hear the new sound system.

In uniform news, Anastos told the Freep we will be getting alternates for the Soldier Field game.
