What does that have to do with anything? Do you remember that the DII Championship game had higher ratings than the DI-AA game a couple years ago on ESPN?

and that arena would be?

I agree with you.

They have roped off seats in the past, that is not something new.

I have read this thread also and have seen people's points of views and their proposals. I was just asking the question to PCM because I guess I didn't understand what exactly he would propose, because I'm not sure what would be a good remedy for this problem either.

PCM I would like to know your proposal to fixing the problems and issues. I don't like the student's proposal either, but I'm not going to say it solves nothing and it just promotes swearing and standing.

It is not quite 3 pages, but close.

that is one of a couple reasons I have heard why they are not proceeding yet. I keep hearing excuses come from city government, everything from they haven't got all of their permits in order yet to they haven't gotten all of their contracting and subcontracting work done yet. I have begun to wonder what is really going on with the CANAD Inn.

Thanks for the links

I think someone needs to relax a little bit. This thread doesn't need to be turned into another discussion of GF hockey vs. Fargo hockey.

Do you have something with big dmen or what?

And how many players entering into the WCHA each year do not have a year of juniors under their belt?

Amen to that

I'm definitely pro-student also, I just don't agree the new proposal. I don't see it solving any of the current problems. One issue I would like to address is the students are always the target when it comes to clamping down on bad behavior and swearing. Of course they bring that on themselves a lot of the times, but I think if they are going to address this issue they need to focus it on the whole arena. Where I sit, the behavior of a lot of the fans around me is very bad, including swearing and chiming in during some of the more vulgar chants. I'm not even close to the student section either.

I can't even remember the last time I even remember hearing that announcement. I know they make it before every game, but I don't listen. I agree with you on the video PCM.

Writing? What? There is something on there, besides seat number, row, section, opponent? Really

I was thinking the same thing. If and I say if, they were to get 4 sections in the lower bowl, I would think that they would lose their sections up top also.

I don't sit there, but I'm thinking they are not going to want to move. If they were forced to move, what percentage of those ticket holders would renew their tickets to sit in the upper bowl? Would they be willing to "donate" to the FSC at the same level they do now? I highly doubt that either.

I just do not see this proposal getting very far. I'm not sure how increasing student seats is going to solve some of the "problems" and "issues" that Kupchella is concerned about. Can someone tell me how many times the student section was totally filled with student this last season? I'm guessing the answer to that is zero. I'm definitely for having students sit in the lower bowl, but I just do not see how increasing their seats is going to alleviate some of the concerns.

You think they based their decision on him playing in a tournament??? That is insulting to both the player and to the program. They were quite interested in him long before the tournament.

I'd support either one of those ideas.

The more I think of it, the more I like the one with the geese on it.

So what does everyone think? I'm a guy who enjoys the outdoors, so I wouldn't mind seeing the geese, but also like the buffalo. I don't know, but either one is pretty good.
