And more news.. outdoor hockey? From an article by Lindsay Kramer/The Post-Standard
"It's virtually certain now that the Syracuse Crunch will play the Binghamton Senators on Feb. 20 at the State Fairgrounds, in what will be the first outdoor game in AHL history".
"The game will cost in the $700,000 range to put on, which the Crunch footing much of that bill, about $400,000-$500,000. The Crunch's costs will vary depending upon how much needs to be spent on marketing The team has already rounded up a lot of sponsorship commitments, as well. If the event goes as well as expected, it's been estimated that it could be worth $1 million to the local economy".
Dolgon is going for the AHL's all-time attendance record (20,672, Kentucky at Carolina, Jan. 18, 1997). The tentative pricing has premium seats going for $50, regular seats for $30 and $25, and standing room for $20.
Dolgon thinks the spotlight on the game will be brighter because the NHL will be off for its Olympic break"
I doubt it would be as exciting as a game played in RED SQUARE in MOSKOW!
Saw MANON again at the OH! - no glitches in the orchestra, soprano Thompson recovered and sang and acted beautifully, the cast got even better. Too bad, that there will be ONLY one more performance by that cast on Saturday.. I'll be there again. Hope to see many of my readers as well LOL.
LOHENGRIN at HGO - tonight with a last performance on Sunday afternoon.
Also a MUST see/hear opera... get tickets IF still available. People are flying in from all over to see Wagner!!!
Just finished an interesting read. Gregor Dallas' "Metro Stop Paris", an underground history of the City of Light. He follows the various Metro Stops and discusses what happended there and nearby during Paris' history. Very easy to read and quite informative as well, with some illustrations of 'old'. To make your mouth water for a trip to PAREE!
