If you're complaining about food prices, eat before you you come to the rink.
If you're complaining about parking prices, zip your coat put on a hat and get some exercise. I have literally never paid to park for a hockey game at the Ralph. There are PLENTY of side streets if you're willing to walk.
Smoking inside is never gonna happen. Lower food/drink/parking prices is never gonna happen. And the NCHC is a far superior league as long as you don't base it on name recognition and actually consider talent/skill/national championships.
