Like Chad said it will help make money now and incease chances for having future season ticket holders. There is not one bad thing about student rush. Also it is clear the Pens are rebuilding and doing a damn fine job of it and will have an insane team int he next few years. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/casino-decision-day/186928)._
