As someone who's been to Aruba more times than I can remember, I can think of no better place for Seabrook to be while the Craplympics are taking place. Too bad he won't be able to convince Toews, Kane, and Keith to go with him.

I'm with you - totally meaningless games that decide nothing. I'd prefer it if the entire St.Louis Blues roster were sent.

The cell had that upper deck modification several years back that eliminated about 5 thousand seats.

That would explained it. Good luck with the plow, I used to know a guy, but he quit after last year. Just go home, it's too F'ing cold anyway.

Now that's an idea I can get behind. Numb nuts Blues fans would probably think it was some kind of recognition of their superiority. I like it. Done.

I'm actually about to leave for work...and the plowing is so we can get going in the morning first thing. Clean it up at night so the day starts smoothly.

They kept moving the wall behind home plate and between the dugouts in adding seats, and moving the left and right field bleachers out into a Waveland and Sheffield.

Capacity was only about 35,000 before all that.

Nah...Not playing for ties but have been victimized by poor defensive coverage a few times.

Lackluster Hawks fall to SJ 3-2 in a shootout. Bickell benched in 3rd period-

Sure..lackluster defense has caused the Hawks to go toO/T However, in overtime our key guys have given us zero wins. Those performances might just bite us in the but in the playoffs.

I think absolutely he goes...Don't forget last time he didn't stay in top six.
Doughty and Keith could be top pair again.

I would take Seabrook and Subban...

The benches are not as short in playoff OT, and it's 5 on 5, so it's a bit different, but I don't like the trend.

Damn a huge city with all these smaller stadiums. Weird. Maybe because we have 2 teams? Or all these really old landmarks?

Temporarily take out the seats on the third base side.

I used to go to Bears games at Cubs Park with my dad - he had tickets about third row upper deck first base side, looking right between the goal posts. Great seats. That was the end zone where the corner was actually about a foot into the first base dugout - and the end zone was supposedly only 8 yards deep. Each end zone was at most a yard fro the wall.

Talk about intimate experience.

When they moved to Soldier Field, they put my dad on the 20 yard line down low - terrible seats.

I think the capacity was 47,000 at Cubs Park for the Bears.

With everything we're learning about head injuries, and the lawsuits...I really think it will go the way of boxing, only with multi-billion cathedrals to pay for, they won't be able to just slip into obscurity, they'll be done.

Baseball teams don't want any more than about 40,000 seats - they want to create an urgency for tickets so they get a big advance sale and more season tickets.

The Indians used to play in Municipal Stadium - 80,000 for baseball. No one bought seats in advance: they'd wait for the day of the game, knowing there would always be good walk-up seats.

Almost all of the new baseball parks are 40,000-45,000.

Vrbata not on that team is a bigger shock than USA leaving off ryan

A major problem for football; potentially (if not, at this point, in actuality) a major problem for hockey, too.
