Big Chill - open thread

We need to have one.  100,000+ to watch a hockey game is kind of a big deal.

10:00 to go in the first period - no score.

Does this look like a fail watching it on TV?  The fans aren't anywhere near the rink, and it doesn't look very lively in there.  I don't know how a recruit with not much interest in hockey would be terribly impressed.

The ice looks terrible. You can hardly read any of the logos under the ice. I'd be pissed if I paid a lot of money for ice advertising. Oh well, our team seems to like it.

is fine.  The reason you can't see the writing is that they put more water down overnight to make it better.  I'm sure you can see the writing just fine in the Big House.

I was little disappointed and remain disappointed in the coverage of the event, rather than the game.  Aside from acknowledging it's being played outdoors, there's been too little of the extra stuff.

Put a roof on the Big House (sacrilege I know) and you could play all sports there. Well, maybe not baseball or rowing.

Well, you could, but then you'd have tons and tons of empty seats for most events.  Think PSU basketball (or the Pistons at the Silverdome, before they became good).

Can I get a big LOL at Mickey Redmond's hat?  Don't tell him I said that, though.  He could still kick my ass.  That makes me wonder, who would win in a fight between The Mick and Red Berenson?
