Message: [QUOTE="brasssbonanzaa, post: 4475889, member: 794"] What's more likely...the place is TOO SMALL. It is the smallest college hockey facility in the state. It will rank 49th out of 60 in capacity among D1 men's programs. It is the third-smallest college hockey facility to open since the turn of the century. The list of schools who opened larger, new facilities since 2000: ASU Penn State Notre Dame Sacred Heart Colorado College Omaha RIT Bemidji Duluth QU Miami OH BU Minnesota (exclusively for their women's program!) North Dakota Northern Michigan Denver Not one of those is below 3K. Here's the list of schools who opened smaller, new rinks since 2000: Bentley Colgate There is no refuting that the size of this arena is a complete and utter failure on the part of the university. The arena looks great and is a needed upgrade for the program in terms of facilities. Otherwise, it's a complete joke and embarrassment how small it is. Also, putting 2,500 people in a facility with a high roof muffles noise, it doesn't amplify it. [/QUOTE]
