Re: UML '09/'10 Season Thread

part of the "just go find a section together" is that silly club area. those are blocked off, but usually always empty or barely used during the game.

and honestly, those seats behind the goal and net are great for GA type seating.

-- i of course, being a surly old fart, always live by the "READ YOUR TICKET AND SIT IN YOUR F'' ING SEAT!" credo. the way to get around that is to have designated GA sections and let those people find enough seats that you need and have fun.

This is a good idea.

i'm sure there are very few season ticket holders in next section, the arena seems to hold those for group sales. Last year that was where the NU guys gathered. They even removed the tarp just before the game started for a kids team group, and then they had to move too because X was all standing the whole game. Maybe we could just get rid of the tarps now.

For some reason X doesnt get an usher to keep people from coming down during play either. Yet four are standing in the "club" section to keep the unwashed from wandering up into the beautiful people section.

On the other hand...
Nice to see the freshmen contributing so much so early! Gonna be a great season.

While it's not in the Sun yet, I've been told that the deal for the Tsongas has been finalized.

Aside from the sellout against Dartmouth for Opening Night of the arena, the 5619 against Colgate is our largest attendance for a non-conference game by a large margin. The previous best was 3429 against Clarkson in December, 2004.

Lowell climbed from 13 to 9 in the USCHO poll.

Also, strangely enough, all HE teams but Maine got at least a vote in this week's poll.

There's nothing strange about it. Maine is disgustingly bad.

And they climbed from 12 to 8 in the USAToday poll. Only 6 HE teams got votes there.

That's great news. I'm especially excited for the new jumbotron and the relocation of the press box.

..yeah.. now if i miss that blimp flying right in front of my face, i can always catch the suttle details on the 'tron

Re: UML '09/'10 Season Thread

maybe they'll even put up fun trivia, like who leads Lowell in points all-time, or how to correctly spell "subtle"

The jumbotron will actually be pretty cool to have. I'm hearing for 2010/2011 season?

..c'mon suttle details or do you need a 'tron to catch that .. Hey maybe they could put up petty crime statistics & play trivia 'who dunnit' .. someone in the crowd ought to have the answer

(kidding aside, i am happy the U gets more control over the facility. I really liked Paul Tsongas and had a chance to meet him twice. It is fitting the place be used to its full potential. What is it like 10 years old.. right? The screen will fit right in with hockey, shows & all the other events there. Will make it somewhat like Agganis which is a nice facility. Happy for Lowell & the fans especially.. you buy like 2 tix, then with food & a couple beers its easily $100. The 'tron will enhance the facility's entertainment appeal for sure. G'luck).

If people were wondering, the count of students who attended the home opener against Colgate was 1601. It more than doubled the previous record of student attendance.
