RPI 2024–25: Come for the Hockey, Stay for the Football

I'm told the Field House ice is bad. Why don't we have more of a home court advantage? or is 1-10 with the home court advantage?
Aspy covered the HFH ice issue recently in a post. The refrigeration tubing in the HFH concrete is failing (leaking). RPI opted for a band aid approach of using small gauge tubing on top of the slab, instead of replacing the slab and installing new refrigeration tubing for the rink. One possibility is that they have chosen the band aid approach as they consider the larger question of renovations and expansion study of HFH.

As for the team's continued on-ice home struggles...(3 total home wins last season, one so far this season) it's anyone's guess. Smith doesn't have any answers for it...that much we know.
