Only went there once. If you are claustrophobic, don't. The cart to the top holds 4 and looks big enough for 1, maybe 2. VERY tight, and rocks and sways all the way up too. At the top, you get a sight line of St. Loius, which I knew nothing about (agree, yawn). But the small area was a great place to watch "bend overs" as all windows viewing require it. (admitted, this could be good or bad, depending on who is there bending).

FYI. My tickets came yesterday (9-12-06) but with no parking pass. Called the ticket office today, they say the passes were not back from the printer yet. They will be mailed out separately when they arrive.

My son plays hockey about 10 months of the year. He also plays soccer about 8 months a year. Notice the intersect? While walleye fishing USED to be my favorite summer sport, now it is travel to soccer/hockey all summer long and watching skilled kids grow in those sports. Would not trade it for anything.

Then #6 it is.

I will take any one of the few that are left, if still available. Signed too would be great if possible. Prefer #6 if open, anyone else if not.

You may be making a mistake in not going. I took 4 boys up last night, they used my 4 seats. I bought an extra ticket at the window, expecting a "Bob Ucker" (nosebleed) seat. With spring break, I was placed 3 rows up from the scorers table, at the red line. Wow. Next to the 108 students (who were LOUD and GREAT). Right in front of the band. It was the best atmosphere I have ever experienced there (tickets since it opened in '01). Think again, and go for it!

Wow. It is not hockey, but I sent the link to my whole address book. Thanks.

It is now 5-4 with 3 minutes to go......

So I suspect it will take 5 years to get the full complement of good players who now have to play for only partial scholarships, if any, to go to UND. They will be offered full rides at other places... Yet another NCAA rule that seems to make little or no sense other than to keep the proletariat in check for as long as possible before the womens' team rises up and dominates the world of NCAA Division I womens' ice hockey. I don't believe this is an NCAA rule, but rather UND's decision based on financial/economic considerations. What I understood is that this is not an NCAA rule, but the "business plan" requested by the coach when interviewed for the job of developing the team. There is no reason UND couldn't increase these faster should they choose to spend the money now , not over 3 more years..
