As a student, I would love to stay at center ice. I realize that I am in a minority when saying this. I don't care if it means that we have to sit for the majority of the game. I would rather be required to sit than be moved. I thought this weekend went well.
Friday night I was in the upper bowl, and I believe we stood the entire game. There have been times when we have been asked to sit down, and it didn't work very well... I've witnessed the people in the very back row (with the wall behind them) argue with the ushers about sitting or standing. I understand that everyone pays a great deal of money to be there, and wants to see the games.
Saturday night I was in the lower bowl, but right on the ice. Sitting wasn't a problem for me, because I could see either way. I think that moving the students to the end would only cause more problems than it would solve. I think with having the bar right there, it would make it VERY tough to put the students in the end. Where would the upper bowl go? My family has season tickets to Packer football and I can't imagine them saying that even though we've had tickets in those exact seats forever we have to move because they are reseating it... that's not how season tickets are supposed to be.
Just some input from a student that doesn't want to move...
