cfm567b27 Posted January 13, 2004 Author Share Posted January 13, 2004 I didn't get my parking pass or media guide last fall and had to call for them. I got the guide in the mail shortly after that and had to go pick up the pass. Things do seem quite unorganized this year. Hopefully things will improve. Thank goodness the team makes it worth the money cause the perks this year don't. But boy has the team made it worth it!!! Exactly my thoughts...Disorganized and poorly communicated. Regarding the team - yep sure makes it all worth it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
U2Bad1 Posted January 13, 2004 Share Posted January 13, 2004 To get on the suite waiting list it required a 5000 dollar non-refundable deposit!!!! I know suites are expensive but anything non-refundable of that amount only to be on a waiting list seems quite excessive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know suites are expensive but anything non-refundable of that amount only to be on a waiting list seems quite excessive. Especially if you aren't collecting any interest on it while they "hold" it (which I'm sure is the case. My guess is that the REA collects the interest for you.

Canuck Posted January 13, 2004 Share Posted January 13, 2004 Canuck: So I should hold-off calling for my hockey guide/ they are in the process of being sent? I was actually just told this afternoon that the media guides will be sent out en masse this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smoggy Posted January 14, 2004 Share Posted January 14, 2004 Here you guys are talking about the 'perks,' but I better chime in. I'd rather see people in their seats watching the game than in the bar socializing. More people hang out in the hallways than in the game. The parking is terrible. Last year my 80 year old grandma got a pass. This year she didn't. The lots rarely fill around the arena, but she has to walk the two or three blocks to get in. I don't think she minds, but erlier this month she fell on ice going into work and suffered a concussion. So when we left on Friday night, we couldn't walk on the cleared UND sidewalks. The police made us cross 6th (I believe) at Family Practice. So we cross and have to walk through trampled snow. The worst part was that she was walking faster than she should have because of all the people. What a dangerous situation. It is private housing, but UND should clear that sidewalk if it forces people to use it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were talking about between periods - thanks but I don't sit in my seat during periods and I don't know of many that do. Having a private bar is a perk no doubt but we pay for the priveledge.

Having a private bar is a perk no doubt but we pay for the priveledge. There are many people in the bar during the game. Not paying attention, just socializing. I'm not saying it's necessarily you, but you can't tell me that people don't stay in the bar into the game. Since it's the lower bowl with many of the empty seats (not including the full sections of upper deck) and these seats are mostly elite members, it leads me to believe many of the big time donor people are elsewhere during the game.

MinnesotaNorthStar Posted January 14, 2004 Share Posted January 14, 2004 They should do what a certain Aerospace Dean does...get a beer from the vendors and take it to your seat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoteauRinkRat Posted January 14, 2004 Share Posted January 14, 2004 Most of the people leave the bar and go back to their seat to watch the game. The people in the bar during play, who don't have seats there or no SRO, are not as many as you make it sound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
