Wilbur Posted March 20, 2022 Author Share Posted March 20, 2022 How terrible did downtown St. Paul get? Garbage everywhere, drug use, homeless individuals everywhere. My friend who lives in St. Paul said parking east of the rink was asking to get shot. Walking by a guy taking a crap by a building really summed things up.

The Chamber of Commerce is using that pic as part of their ‘Welcome to St Paul’ campaign. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I respectfully disagree with this. Granted St.Paul isn’t the prettiest place to go right now, but it was still fun. I stayed at Intercontinental where Western and Duluth were also staying. The players were polite and their fans were cordial. I like the idea of playing off campus and if we make it to 10 teams in the league, it will increase the amount of fans coming to the tournament.

Agree. After watching old WCHA/Big 10 last few years and seeing the tournament at the Ralph last year, I think on-campus games are the way to go. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeing Mariucci full last night makes one realize we will NEVER be able to recreate the magic of the Final Five without the Gophers. The next best thing going forward is to have our own building full. Recruiting-wise I have to think MN got a boost. The atmosphere looked pretty lit there last night. We can have that at UND, too. The X didn’t look all that great 2/3 empty. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's probably the first time that Mariucci has been full since they left the WCHA. That would only help them in recruiting if a potential recruit missed their last 100 home games that were 10-30% full. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cberkas Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 The only reason their arena was full is because it was Minnesota vs Michigan. If it was anyone else, it wouldn't have been that full. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
