    I totally agree that the game atmosphere is going down and we could use a boost.  Part of the problems are baked in now, but part could be solved by some changes.  The corporate atmosphere was sealed when they decided to make lower bowl tickets contingent on a serious Sioux Club membership level.  Part of the student problem was when they didn't put the students on the end and built without figuring out that standing would block the view of others.  (I can see both sides of the standing issue - We really need the students engaged and cheering - however,  I have been in a suite several times when the students stood in front of us for no particular reason - not play related - just standing, chatting, and texting.  Extremely frustrating.)  Things that could change - the eternal vigilance on the student section - just looking for anyone having too much fun.  If there is a problem fine - deal with it.  But putting them under the microscope really dampens their mood.  Find more ways to involve the students with organized cheers, more band - have a student group search for ways - this is not the same type of student that went to the Old Ralph - more texting than cheering.  Finally, have someone who knows and enjoys hockey run the Ralph game day and PA system.  The crap that comes over the system every time play stops is a real mood and cheer killer.  Many times the crowd is really into it only to be interrupted by some ad over the loudspeaker.  Same with the music.  We need the crowd cheering at the breaks.  Take some of the profit and subsidize whatever payout they get from all of the ads.  This is corporate greed and a mood killer. (also put out a team that is exciting.  Watching them try gain the zone on a power play or chip it off the glass then all rush to the corner is ultra boring.  Few break-aways or odd man rushes.  Also, giving up a goal within about a minute of us scoring really dampers the mood too).  We can have the best atmosphere in college hockey with some planning and tweaks and a scoring upgrade.

    I'm normally in the upper bowl,  but sat lower bowl with a friend with an extra ticket just to the south of the students a couple times.   They stood much of the game,  blocking the north end of the ice. No one told them to sit. Maybe it's the no alcohol rule in the student section that the poster objects to - looked like the section was having fun to me. 

    I don't see the "corporate" atmosphere complaint???

    And he would be right. Funny you don’t see athletes of other sports saying #SiouxForever in basketball, football, volleyball, etc. It’s like the only people that want to “stick it” to the new name and logo are all associated with hockey. Players, coaches, and fans. 

    Why start this crap here once again. Instead tweet it to Gardner.

  5. 29 has been open for several hours but 94 remains closed. Trucks look to be backed up for miles waiting to cross into Canada.

    There are a ton of GPS tracking plows on 94 and not all the plows have GPS tracking. Must be a big mess on that freeway somewhere

    There's a long line of east bound traffic (mostly trucks) parked on the east bound lane of 94 east of Jamestown. Cam's everywhere show fairly good road, clear and dry by Jamestown. Plug up must be between Jamestown and VC, since 94 looks fine both east and west of there. No cam wherever the plug is.
