Real fans don't complain about other fans' grousing.

[quote canuck89]I'll agree with you on that. At the very least, EVERYBODY should be there for the puck drop. That is why I would like to see a season ticket policy that enforces people to show up for the first faceoff. I don't really have a good idea for that, lol, but if any of you do I would like to hear it.[/quote]

Scan the tickets as people enter, and if people aren't there by 7:15 (give them a LITTLE leeway), their seats get sold to someone else (a line of people waiting for standby seats) and the original ticketholders just have to try their luck at the door.

It's done in theater; I don't see why it can't be done in sports.

Because if I'm driving up from DC and I have a flat tire and get to the game 16 minutes late and you've sold my ticket, I'm going to continue beating your head into the nice new Lynah lobby tiling until the entire IPD makes me stop.

People travel farther to see sports than "Wicked." And people who attend sports are more dangerous than people who attend "Les Mis."

People who attend "Urinetown," however, are scarier.

For historical semi-accuracy, the change from 7:30 to 7:00 PM happened around the 2000-2001 season or possible the season after. Those 30 minutes mattered a hell of a lot for me getting to the games from class, because class was in Manhattan.

Still made it most of the time, though.

No... I was a freshman in the fall of 99 and always remember games being at 7.

Likewise: http://www.elynah.com/news/9900/schedule.html shows 7pm games on Friday. So if you can trust the schedules I compiled at the time I think we can say definitively that the scheduling change came in the 1999-2000 season.
