Michigan Hockey Survey

Submitted by Still in AA on
I just received an email as a hockey season ticketholder requesting that I complete a survey. The last question was as follows: "If you could suggest/implement three things to improve your Michigan Hockey experience, what would they be?" My answers were: 1. New scoreboards with replay. 2. Improved sound system. 3. Dancing band director. Any other ideas out there?

Put the band back in the loft where they belong.  From there, they fire the sound straight down the ice & everyone hears it really well.  From the location where they were last time I was there, they just shot the sound across one zone, student section had a hard time hearing them, etc.  I get that you want the band closer to the students or something probably, but you gotta think of the effect it has.

Also, DAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNCCCCCCCCCEEEEEEE!!!

with replacing the band in the loft, is that the band is now significantly larger than the loft.

However, as I recall, the bleachers are being replaced in Yost this summer.  If I'm recalling correctly, I believe they are also going to move the band again, though I'm not sure where (my money would be expansion of the loft and replacing them there, but that's just a guess).  I could not tell you for certain if they actually will move the band, or even if I'm remembering the new bleachers for this season correctly, but I believe I remember reading that somewhere, when BM was still AD, before the article with DB talking about fixing up Yost a little bit, with the bleachers and the scoreboard.  The second article is what is making me unsure of the renovations being done this summer.

If only, if only the band director still danced.  I think that's the problem with our recruiting nowadays.  Nobody wants to come to a school where the band director doesn't dance.
