Speaking of renovations to the Mac.. I hope a better place is found for The Pep Band instead of that far corner.

I know it would never happen, but can you imagine the fun of putting them behind the visitor's bench? Their sound would be directed away from the "experienced" side of the rink, they could more easily razz the visitors and they would be facing the home students. However I'm sure Tech doesn't want to risk a band member getting the Domi treatment from a visiting player if things reached a fever pitch.

Not that a band member would ever cross the line, but some of us would get very very very close at times.

I liked where the band was before the suites were put in. Behind the visiting goalie for 2 of the 3 periods. They had a better acoustical sound over there.

I agree..that was the best spot I have heard them from, but man was it loud in the suites when they were under them. I believe that the best spot for them would be behind a goalie on one side or the other. Know if that is the case...then it would make the most sense to have them behind the opposing goalie for 2 periods.

going to be really hard for that to ever happen with the $$$ spent on the suites...the other problem is that the other end remodel likely includes more suites because they've been such a hit.

7 or 8 years ago, this is where I would've inserted some snotty comment about how it's all part of Suzanne's plan to sanitize the band and marginalize their presence.

Why not more seating near ice level up to right below where the band was before. Wouldn't that work for putting the band there?

Don't the suites have glass windows that could be closed if it is to loud for them. Fans need to realize that they are at a college sporting event so it will be loud and noisy now and then.

My girl friend will not go to a game any more because they are so loud. She wore ear plugs for a while and finally gave up.

Did you happen to be sitting right below them?

No we sit on the red line just to the east of the visitors bench, but it's only a few games per year.

I was wishing to go to GLI this year. The last one at The Joe.

It looks like there's a few TV options for the GLI.
FS Detroit Plus?
Fox College Sports Atlantic
Fox Sports North-Minnesota Plus - will have all but the championship game, when the Gophers will be on instead

Anybody know if there is a streaming option for the GLI? I won't be in any of the areas that carry the Fox Sports regional channels and I wondered if Fox Sports will stream the games on FoxSportsGo. It seems like they should according to their website, but they don't publish a schedule of any kind.
