Bless their hearts they make the trek all the way to dinkytown from Robinsdale and Brooklyn Center to take a break from meth and packs of pall malls.
    Wait, I thought you were a UND fan.....that should feel like home?
    Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.

      At his graduation ceremony from the U of Minnesota, my cousin got a keychain. When asked what UW gave her for graduation, my sister said, "A degree from a University that matters."

        It just has such a metallic feel to it. Hopefully, they haven't finished everything just yet. I'll be looking forward to more pictures once this place is finished.

          Not much more you can do. Most intimidating atmosphere in college hockey. No doubt, the loudest building.

            I think he meant what's going to change for you after 7 months. We already know what you do now.

              I don't know if I would go so far as to say that it is the most intimidating atmosphere in college hockey (it certainly isn't the loudest building either (at least when I was there)), but it certainly is a difficult place for the opposition to play in.

                  "I raised my eyebrow slightly when Michigan had to take to Groupon to move tickets for the Revenue Generating Opportunity against Bentley this year. The early season attendance woes at Michigan could be chalked up to a weird schedule against less-than-name-brand opponents. But last weekend's series against Western Michigan, a top ten ranked team, drew similar dismal numbers. Here's Yost's vaunted student section right before opening puck drop. Total attendance was listed at about 1300 below capacity for Friday night, and even that may have been generous."

                    That western series last year was during the weekend of a football game. Football is priority #1 'round these parts.

                    Once that season ends, Yost usually is rocking. Especially since Dave Brandon is really trying now to avoid schedule conflicts by making basketball and hockey play at different times, so he can maximize attendance at both.

                      That is understandable. I am curious though as to what other arenas you have been at.

                        Nothing will change, except them trying to come up with better excuses to get involved with our team/threads. They will still obsess about us along with all those UMD fans. They can't rip themselves away from us. All are actually closet fans.

                          I would venture that he's been to the Joe Louis Arena, and the State Fairgrounds Coliseum for some Wayne State games back in the day.

                            I've been to all the CCHA arenas except alaska and the new compton center at ND. JLA, Xcel for the Frozen Four, Green Bay for the NCAA Regional, Albany for the 2008 NCAA Regional.

                              I think playing the Gophers at the Xcel would be the most intimidating place to play for most teams.

                                Oh really? Go check out THEIR team threads... Pot.

                                BTW, Yost looks like a real sh-i-thole. The arena we just built for our women's team is nicer - by far.
