Their previous arena (Sioux Falls Arena) was very outdated, built in the 50s. They were in desperate need of a new home for the Stampede as well as a place to host other events like concerts, monster jam, etc. Additionally, Sioux Falls is growing like a weed, with population doubling since the 90s.   

 

Hockey in general is also booming in the city; They got Scheels IcePlex, west of the airport, with 3 sheets, and the new rink for Augustana (Midco Arena) etc.  

They’ve been the poster child for a city benefitting from a new sports arena

Host the summit league tourney there along with early season college basketball. Could see them hosting a basketball 1st round march madness regional there in the future as well.

Lots on Ticketmaster including a bunch of resale tickets in lower bowl going for less than face value 

Thank you. Wondering if I should make the drive from La crosse, or not. Hmmm…

Schloss piece on 5 things to know about Merrimack:

https://www.grandforksherald.com/sports/und-hockey/5-things-to-know-about-unds-first-round-opponent-merrimack

Essentially...

They are hot...7 game unbeaten streak.
They have a stud goalie that has played every minute of every game for them this season.
They have four NHL draft picks...one of them being ex-UND player Emerson.
They block a ton of shots...2nd in the NCAA behind only Robert Morris.
Their top 2 lines are excellent...5 of the 6 have 13+ goals.

Ugh, my anxiety just went up

Getting to be that time of year.  When the season could be over at anytime.
Seems crazy to me how quickly it comes each season....

There should be a press conference after practice today. Hopefully we hear something then. 

I am guessing he is a no go.

Been awhile since we've watched a game with this much riding on it. Tomorrow night can't come quick enough
