Yeah, they said some team allotments were returned. Hard to believe that a team wouldn't be able to sell their allotment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oxbow6 Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 Got the email too. Mine also included, if F4 tickets were purchased, a coupon for one free ER visit for any type of gun shot wound. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

terbele Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 I suspected crowds would be down. This is pro and B1g town. Cost here is high for hotels, restaurants, and bars. UC is not in a great area. Living in the Chicago area I have not seen much publicity at all. No mention in the Tribune. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is why I love the Tampa FF so much. The city really embraces and advertises the Frozen Four week. It feels like it's a big deal to them where as in a place like Chicago it seems to get lost in the shuffle as just another hockey tournament. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd go more often even if UND wasn't a participant if it was held in Tampa more often. Next year at the X I'll go just because of convenience.

I've seen a few ads on tv but really nothing else promoting the Frozen Four. There is quite a Norte Dame following here but I don't know if the fans will come out to support the hockey team. You're right this city is all about the Big Ten and attendance would be better if a Michigan school or Wisconsin made it... but who am I kidding!

Usually you don't hire an assistant coach if things aren't going well, but Gasparini became the cog in turning the program around and to our current success with the litany of coaches that followed. By the way, I know you know this, but just saying the results will tell the tale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
