I'm coming to this party late, but this obviously is an ongoing problem. Here are some random facts: There has not been any published research that shows that students are standing the standing behavior has changed, or that the swearing problem has not improved. The fact that cheers with swearing can still be heard does not mean that nothing has improved. The students were told they would get four sections on the lower level. For those in 107 and 110 complaining about the students standing, you are not even meant to be in those seats. Students were told they could register for a suite for each game, which never happened. Students were told they could go to their seats anytime on game day and not be required to wait outside. That did not happen. Students were told that good college bands (with some specifically listed) would come to REA, but they haven't. Students that are "good fans" and are going to be consistently going to the games do not get the lower level seats. This year it was random, and even the year before it was people that could wait for a weekend to get tickets or found someone else to wait for them. This is true with general public seats. The people that pay more money for the better seats are not "better fans." A student's ticket is always that student's responsibility. A general public ticket can be sold with no sesponsibility attached. Here are some random thoughts: The entitlement that students feel they have for tickets is not much different than the public's belief that their money entitles them to seats. Students are not going to be able to stand anywhere in the arena without upsetting someone. Standing is not a stupid habit. If you look at the history of sports, fans have not always sat down. Forcing students to attend a meeting about cheers or anything else is a double standard if you don't require all season ticket holders. The atmosphere at REA is good, but it could be a lot better. It would be great if the entire crowd would engage in cheers. It would be awesome if UND fans acted the same at REA as they do for the road games.

It is good to see there is an increasing number of female members. Hockey is a sport that should be enjoyed by all.

I stayed at a Holiday Inn Express. Does that count?

You do fear getting mugged in a 104 million dollar arena though, if you are a UND player.

Would you like to buy a "bring?"

Denny Crane. A person's intention is not a legal document. It is a stupid idea. Denny Crane.

Vaht? What is a tape? Where is my old man to explain this.

You need something about the Coaches Show Recap, Polls, and making signs. Edit: Oops, I forgot I was trying to not post in my own thread.

I didn't know you were going to make it until next season, let alone 2010.

The students get to decide who gets hired.

I thought all of the recaps were humorus.

I don't see why everyone is so upset with RW77's article.

I didn't say anything about the old REA. Now who is jumping to conclusions?

Are you qualified to say that? My interest is in the consistency of noise and atmosphere, not the occasional peak.

I'm surprised no one has thanked me yet for not having to meet me. There is always next year. Now, if we could just get all of the Sioux hockey games broadcast in HD, this would be a good summer.

I think the same thing every year after the trip to Madison. I wish the Sioux fans would be more like the Badger fans (but smarter), and I wish all Sioux fans would treat each other the same way they do on the road. What keeps Sioux fans from being the same way at REA? They are not the minority so there is not a feeling that they must unite. Minorities unite together to try take over the majority. At least that is what social dominance theory says. This is a long off season.

I don't know if people still want a question of the day. I also changed it after the loss when I was upset.

Cool, I am on my way to being a sudo reporter. I have always wanted to follow in my father's footsteps.

I assume that the speaker was actually Matt Carle for Denver.

These mistakes happen when you don't use a sudo reporter. They didn't even cover Mapletoft's comments.

First-person of course. You should hear him yell, "I am Spartacus."

Thanks, but not really.
