city franchise great serious
We're very serious about this, and I think we can win. I think it would be great for our franchise and city to do this in our first season.
arena close fans naturally parking possible site situation spaces
The parking situation should be fine, but we are advising fans that there won't be enough spaces at the arena site for everyone. I think fans want to naturally get as close as possible to the site, but there's many of other options.
expect friday might past seats sold strong
We didn't expect it at all. We had about 6,300 seats sold on Friday and thought with a strong walk-up that we might trickle past 8,000.
both exciting fans sales season sports ticket
Both sports are exciting and fast-paced, and fans have responded to it. Season ticket sales were brisk for both from the beginning.
arena bill charges turn
The arena charges us when something like this happens, and we in turn will bill the Bombers.
few gone judging past preparing sales
Judging by how sales have gone the past few days, I think we will have a sellout. That's what we're preparing for.
amazing season watch
I thought we'd do well, but not this well. What an amazing first season this was, and it was something else to watch this unfold.
broken frame perhaps second slammed window wonder
For the window frame to be broken after getting outscored 3-0 in the second period, it makes you wonder if perhaps it was slammed too hard.
good parking wait
I would try to get here about 6 p.m., get good parking and wait in line.
choice fans fit great lightning strong surprised
I wasn't surprised at all, and Lightning was the overwhelming choice. The fans did a great job. It fit with our other team, and it's a good, strong name.
clean criteria good
Our criteria is pretty simple. We wanted something that look good and, obviously, said football. We wanted something crisp and clean and that wasn't very busy.
amazing planned poster proud weeks worked
We planned to give away Mike's poster about two weeks ago, and it's amazing how it worked out. We're all proud of Mike.
basket caught definitely guy proper team trust
Up front, you can't see the cable, so you have to trust the guy in the back to give you proper instructions to keep you from getting the basket caught on anything. It's definitely a team effort.
believe gotten guys microscope players steroids
I believe there are a lot of guys out there who have used steroids and gotten away with it. There are other players who have used steroids, but they aren't under the microscope like he is.
