Wisconsin at Colorado College - 01/15/10

Re: Wisconsin at Colorado College - 01/15/10

End of 1.

Wisconsin playing good hockey and making the chances count. CC is giving them a run for their money, but hasn't had many good quality chances.

Minnesota is down 3-2 with 10:15 left in the 3rd.

On a completely unrelated note... Is Carls Jr the out-west equivalent of Hardees? Logo looks very similar and they have very similar sounding commercials.

I think Carl's Jr bought out Hardees and they have a lot of the same food now but there are some differences between them.

Just noticed this on UWBadgers.com - game is on Sirius 127 and XM 196 tonight, Sirius 158 tomorrow. Kinda cool, too bad I don't have XM anymore. :(

Wow...according to Capobianco's live blog, at the beginning of the week there were only 37,200 tickets sold for the Camp Randall game. As I've said many times, tickets were waaaaaay overpriced. And to think they were hoping to set the attendance record...:rolleyes:

Yeah... I think they overestimated the zeal Wisconsin fans have for outdoor games... Yeah, it's cool, but outdoor games are gimmicky. I'm going, as it will be a cool experience, but they're not going to seat 70,000 like they originally thought. I'll be surprised to see 60,000. Maybe if the Badgers were actually on TV in FS Wisconsin there would be more interest statewide. If you asked most people in WI they wouldn't even know UW has a D-I men's team.

Cut the ticket price in half. Problem solved.
 
Re: Wisconsin at Colorado College - 01/15/10

Minny just tied it 3-3, 2:04 left in the 3rd. I hate cheering for the Rodents, but I love to see the Sioux lose.
 
Re: Wisconsin at Colorado College - 01/15/10

Back underway in Colorado... In Minneapolis they're getting bonus hockey.

Exactly. If I wasn't willing to go through the trouble of getting rid of 20 tickets so I could get them for $15, I wouldn't have even bought any until the day before so I knew the weather would be good. And I, like most on here, am a pretty big Badger hockey fan.

Whoever was in charge really overestimated the allure of Badger hockey in Madison and the rest of the state.
 
Re: Wisconsin at Colorado College - 01/15/10

They should have done it at Lambeau again. Would have sold out by now...

It really boggles the mind.

Cost for season tickets at the KC: 18/game.

Cost for a single game ticket at the KC: 22/game

Cost for a single Camp Randall ticket: 25/game

UW's pricing was clearly going for a revenue maximizing price (hence why they're charging a premium) for a game with 60,000 extra seats compared to your usual game at the KC.

Supply. Demand. Someone send the AD a note, please.

Sue at Rodents ends in a tie. Sue couldn't take advantage of a PP at the end of the OT.
