Clearly, the tone was set from the opening drop.

Honestly they could have sold more if they opened more of the stadium up. Not upset I'm in the standing room only section as we might have the best view of the ice.

Hockey school!

Man I would love if tech ever actually decided to push for a pair of D1 hockey programs. Gotta think there are enough fans that would support them. But given the state of things that seems like the pipe dream of pipe dreams

I think one of the rules for NCAA hockey is an on campus stadium. That in itself would be a major hangup I would assume. I'd be all for VT D1 hockey, just seems like we would have to get an ultra mega donor (Penn State is funded by the Pegulas I think) and then we'd have to go through the rest of the rigamarole to get there after that. Unfortunately I don't have billions laying around or I would be more than happy to spearhead it.

Again, would never happen from cost perspective but Cassell would make such a good hockey venue if it could be converted. Steep, loud, and has the feel of an old barn (because it is old).

Agreed on all fronts. It would definitely have that vibe, but would probably cost more to renovate than tear down and rebuild in full.

If that really is a rule, then that is absurd. What about all the colleges that share sports venues with professional teams (e.g. Miami with the Dolphins @ Hard Rock)? What would be so special about hockey that the same couldn't be allowed? I would think VT could consider their home rink at LancerLot? I say that without knowing what the seating capacity is like there.
