    Got to disagree there. I like a cushy seat not hardwood. If they don't want to spend to much on renovations then just make a few sections with chairs and charge a higher price for them.

    Sell beer...then it doesn't matter what you're sitting on. Super business model.

    Hmmm, sounds like a possible concession idea: rent cushioned bench chairs, you know those clamp-on folding seats. I bet those would be VERY popular (at least until everyone buys their own and totes them to the games)? I don't expect to see any major upgrades to Blackham either. If the NEW IceGators do well, maybe in the future but, not right away.

    That is what I should have said. Maybe later if they do well, but not right away.

    Enjoy the bench seats...makes for a nice loud arena with it being smaller.

    Danny Smith said that they will get stadium seats and sell them at a reduce rate. And if you won't go to the games because of the wooden seat than you won't go to the football games because of the metal seats. Unless you have chair back seats which consist of about 20% of the stadium plus the extra $$$$$$$.

    Did he say if they were going to serve beer? Will it be at the premium price the cajundome demands?

    If UL don't object to it I am sure they will sell beer. They did in the dome untill the third period. As far as the price they were sold in the dome for $4 if I remember right. Hockey and beer goes together.

    Hockey and Beer go together very well, I spoke with Ron Handy Recently....there will need to be some major renovations....unfortunately...comfortable seating is not in the works right of way, but soon to follow depending on the teams performance

    I guess if I was them I would wait also. One of the big reasons the IceGators didn't workout the first time was they spent almost as much as they made.

    Did Coach Handy mention what they were going to renovate at Blackham? I would think they would want a nice scoreboard. Blackham looks like it could be a cool rink. Smaller than the Cajundome but more intimate and louder with fewer fans.

    If you look on icegators.com, they have a seating chart for Blackham. You can hover over a section to see what it would look like to sit there. the views are digitally created, and if you look close enough, you can see that the seats are all chair, not benches.

    I don't think that's Blackham. It's some other arena with a similar seating arrangement to show you the view of the ice. No chair backs.
