Fascinating fan base. It bad ways. They live and die for their beloved Sioux But along the way, it's the foulest, most-impatient, critical following you can imagine. Had two exact replica families in the row ahead of me and the row behind me. Like a grandpa-grandma-son-and-his-wife-and-their-two-kids type of thing. Every member of the families had their own bitchfest going, the entire game. He sucks. Why does he play at all? Why is he on the PP? That kid shouldn't play. How can you not score that? Are you really that F-ing stupid? etc etc etc Tons of F bombs. The impatience is incredible. And I can tell you, by the looks of them, NONE Of them have ever played a lick. The game is easy to them. Then, when the goal is scored, or the hit is made, and the win is finalized, they are giddy, obnoxious, and arrogant. Sure, this is being too critical, but I've been there several times now, and get the same vibes and same experiences in every part of the rink. Every student section is loud and obnoxious, I get that and accept that. But the "adult" sections of that place can be frightening. We had mucky muck tickets this time, so we spent half the time in the seats, and the other half in the bar rail seats and in the two bars on top. The bars were jack full of them, rowdy as hell from start to finish, and I bet 10% of them knew what the final score was. Tops. I would look back (all I wanted to do was watch the hockey, which was actually quite good) .. and every person in the bar (75-100 at least) wasn't even facing the ice. Its a social event for sure. A really critical, angry one. The rink staff are the opposite, calm, decent, helpful. And the building itself is really nice. Nazis were great at constructing beautiful buildings.
