Absolutely. Just smiling and saying hi rather than rushing past them with your head down and your ticket up makes a big difference. Before long, they know who you are, and don't even need to see the ticket.

Right on, Liz.  Get there during warmups, say hi to them everynight, comment about the weather.  Pretty soon, they'll smile when they see you coming and let you right into the section.  Worked for me getting into my old student section with Sec. M tickets over the Yale/Brown weekend.

For example, if you forget to get a 3rd playoff game ticket (in the event we need three games, which never happened in the last few years :-(  ), you can just get a ticket for another section and not even have to show the usher what your ticket says.

there is a time and place for all of this.  I think at no point are fish or gum appropriate during a warm up or the game.  However when the teams enter onto the ice, i say let the fish,gum, toothpaste fly.  As long as you can clean it up and it won't hurt anyone (like no throwing old desk-tops and pistons and RPI), then there really is no harm or potential for harm.  Also by winging stuff at the right time we don't effect the ability of the team to properly warm up

I would concur that it is sad that the administration feels the need to try to beat down a tradition and has to resort to lies such as the 5min major to accomplish this dubious goal.  Would a pile of fish guts and a copy of the hockey rule at the door of the offending party be an overreaction?

One last thing are boxes of rogaine OK to throw for Harvard?
