Hockey exhibition vs NTDP in Plymouth this season

I saw this and unfortunately I think I owe FYS an apology since I mocked them when their announcement came out on their game at the USNTDP. I'm guessing there was a concerted effort to get M and MSU to show since the arena got repurposed, right?

Surprising. But what to season ticket holders feel about this? When I was a regular hockey attender I often felt the exhibition games were a diversion of budgetary resources I could better use for something else. Say, a road trip to Ferris or something. If a fair amount of season ticket holders weren't likely to attend, seems to be doing them a solid to not make them buy the ticket. But I really have no idea--season ticket holders by definition have a better opinion than mine. Obviously, really interested fans can still go to the game. (And if I were in town I would be more likely to do that, even though I've long held that arena in contempt.)

But to pile on to Compuware arena or whatever they call it now, I have no idea if they've significantly improved it, but while adequate I found the place soulless for hockey and kind of an embarrassment to the OHL. A bunch of USCHO types went to a conference final game when they were playing eventual Memorial Cup winner Kitchener, and the Kitchener fans that travelled made more noise than the home fans. It's not a coincidence that I had significantly more interest in and spent more money to attend Spitfires games in Windsor when I lived in Romulus. That arena was the oldest in North America, but it had character. Different world from Plymouth.
