My problem with the whole situation is the students are supposed to come first! People can cry about percentages of seats the students are or aren't getting in the new REA, but no matter how you look at it the students are getting nowhere near the percentage of seats as the old REA. In the old ralph it was nearly 50%!!!
In addition, the student behavior was not an issue because they had nearly half of the old arena and were really only bothering each other (if it even was a problem).
IMO, residents should be happy they even have season tickets.
The Ralph was a gift to UND Hockey, which is made up of:
1. Hockey players
2. Students
3. Faculty
4. Alumni
5. Everyone else
