How many of you are going to buy IceGator season tickets?

RCAJUN90,

I'd like to apologize to you for my backlash this morning toward you. I was in a bad mood this morning and I took it all out on you after reading your post, not that my mood is an excuse for doing that, but please accept my sincere apology.

No problem dude. You are a bigger man than many on here. I hope your day got better.

I will wait to look at the schedule for Gators Games since i work out of town alot.

This is going to be great for UL Ragin Cajun Ice Hockey Club. Every time we played LSU ( and i say we because i played on the team) we drew a record crowd at the Hockey Plex.

I think more students and local fans will begin to support the Ice Hockey Club with a move into Blackham. The club will be able to have better times for games not having to deal with Public Ice Skating Sessions.

They could have games on Saturday mornings and people in town for Saturday evening football could also check out a UL hockey game

Also, a deal could be struck with the school for student and public ice skating sessions. Parties, etc.

That is a little pricey. A family of three would be a little over $1,000. But if you break it down that is 12.50 per game per person. Not bad if you live close and are sure you can make most of the games.

Yeah, I was going to buy 2. Even though I wouldn't be able to make them all, I could at least do my part to support them. But $350 a pop is pretty pricey for me, living 45 minutes away. Oh well, I guess I'll go on a game-by-game basis.

I live two hours a way so I don't think season tickets would be appropriate unless they a do a weekend only package. No way could I make a weekday game. I hope they put together some creative packages.

The package will consist of weekend games. Danny smith said that weekday games will not be on the schl.

Oh really? So it's 28 weekend games? That's pretty cool. I, like RCAJUN90, won't be able to get to any weekday games either.

Note that the % of people who will not support the hockey team is now over 47%. I am sure that it is because many don't want hockey popularity to have any impact on Cajun attendance. The minute we lose one dollar due to this competition (including the rent we will receive), it is a bad thing. With so many weekend games, I bet there will be nights when hockey competes with football, basketball, and the diamond sports Cajun home games. I know you hockey fans don't think it will have any impact and I sure hope you are right.

It will be interesting but hockey doesn't kick off until mid October and drags into May. Even if the Cajuns go to the New Orleans Bowl you are only talking about two months of conflict. I think it would be cool for the IceGators to schedule around Cajun football. How many of you guys would like to catch a hockey game and a Cajun football game on the same day! Wives would be in an uproar but sounds like a pretty good sports day to me.

There is the argument also that there are only so many sports dollars to go around. I inherently believe that competition is a good thing. You also have to consider that not everyone in Acadiana are Cajun fans and follow out of town teams on TV. Just thinking out loud but I hope the IceGators are successful and I don't believe it will take away from the Cajuns.

For Clarification:

1. The SPHL is a weekend heavy league. There is a possibility of a few weekday games, so please purchase season tickets with this in mind.
2. A season ticket saves you $70 over buying game day tickets so you get almost 5 games free if missing a couple is a concern.
3. We will not play at home during any UL or LSU home football games as a courtesy and just plain old smart business.

Thank you for your continued support,

Danny Smith
