Re: Pegula Ice Arena - a Virtual View
Your new building is the one thing that is sorta giving me pause about the our new barn, about to be built here in Omaha.
It is widely believed here that UNO is being foolhardy in building an arena that seats "only" 7500 since UNO has averaged more fans than that per game in all but 5 years of the program's entire existence.
Personally, I agree with this stance, but, I am happy that the school will finally have other revenue streams besides ticket sales, and ticket sales, only.
Congratulations on your new building and stepping up to the big time. I am taking at least some solace in the fact that we are building a building that costs somewhat more and is considerably larger than a school of the ilk of Penn State did.
I have spoken to a lot of UNO fans that have expressed the sentiment "Well, it's bigger than Penn State's new facility", or, words to that effect. I guess we should count our blessings.
Hope we schedule Penn State soon. You guys are are now on the the very small list of D-1 teams that we still have yet to play since the inception of our program.
