seating capacity of mellon arena is about par for most hockey arenas… sonny, just because you can’t play, doesn’t mean the game sucks ---

I had first row center ice seats right behind the penalty boxes at the pens game. It was shitty when they came back from 4-0 but it was awesome when we won the shootout. Then to come home and watch the Pitt game I DVR’d and to see them beat duke and then the steelers win… im going to go with the word of the year… woot ---

You have a good point…but if a team can sell 700,000 tickets in one year I say that is a solid following. Also kinda off topic but the new years game that seats 73,000 sold out in 1/2 hour…just a thought to add.
