Here's my outsider's opinion of O.Co.
It's a complete dump. If you go into the stadium from the BART station, you have to cross a narrow pedestrian bridge that has a big choke point in the middle where a gate locks. That choke point, as well as all along the sides of the bridge, have so many people with bootleg merchandise sprawled out that it takes a good twenty minutes to make it through the mosh pit. Oh, and that bridge crosses over a sewage runoff channel.
As you go down ramps to get to the main concourse, you encounter the metal detectors that they use for Raider games stacked against the wall surrounded by caution tape. At the same time, the extra seats for when the Raiders play? They're randomly thrown in a few piles in the parking lot.
The main concourse, when you finally get to it, is so cramped that even if you show up early, it takes forever to get to your seat because of people loitering or relatively short lines extending three-quarters of the way across.
The seating itself, especially if you're in the first few rows, is so far down from the concourse that by the time you get down that far, it's not even worth going back for any sort of food.
The view with Mt. Davis is atrocious, as is the fact that the areas surrounding both foul poles consists of a giant staircase to nowhere. And that tarp that they cover the upper deck with? It's already completely stained and faded.
Oh, and the scoreboards? They were out of date in 1992 and completely microscopic.

Threads aren't going to be locked for the world to be able to see. They're no longer going to be visible to regular members.

Perhaps the Best Fans in Hockey™ should hold a couple bake sales to Save Their Sharks.

What happened was that Chris' credit card (that he uses to pay for the board hosting) had a fraud hold on it due to him using it in Montreal. Canadian fraud alerts must be really sensitive

Massachusetts is definitely going to the AAC. Gives a replacement for Louisville and a travel partner for Connecticut.

Are we able to use .GIFs again?
Were we ever not able to use them?

Plus it's not a good idea to join and immediately start flooding the board with new threads.

Also, is there a way to bring back the watched subforums with new content on the right side of the screen?

There an arena in Cheyenne? If so, bring on the Wyoming Marinerzz!

As someone who can barely fit my knees into an aisle seat, if I find out that the douche sitting in front of me, cramming my knees against the cupholder even more, is ticketed in some other area, hell's going to be paid.

Nothing screams Sun Belt like Moscow, Idaho.

You can't make America West hockey-friendly. The seating bowl is too small. That was as good as it got.
Which frankly was still better than what they've got now. I'm starting to wonder if that's not the only way to save NHL hockey in Phoenix, send them back downtown. If the Islanders can play at Barclay's Center there's no reason the Coyotes can't do the same. Particularly when it would solve one of the franchise's worst problems with the location of Glendale.
Keep in mind that with the Islanders still having a few years in Uniondale that it's possible for Barclays to have some off-season tweaks done to the lower bowl to accomodate the rink.

Per Craig Morgan, Greg Jamison has issued a statement. Try not to roll your eyes too hard, lest they fall out.
"We will not be able to complete our purchase of the Phoenix Coyotes today in time to meet our deadline with the city of Glendale. However, our journey to purchase the Coyotes will continue. We realize this will require additional conversations with the city of Glendale and the NHL. We still believe we can reach an agreement that satisfies everyone. We hope negotiations with the city proceed as smoothly as possible, as everyone involved wants the Coyotes to remain in Arizona.
"To the Arizona's sports and hockey fans, and the City of Glendale, we appreciate your patience and diligence. We wish everything was completed today as we worked extremely hard on the deal. However, we have taken significant steps to keep the Coyotes in Glendale for the long-term. I've seen first-hand the wonderful support Arizona hockey fans have provided the Coyotes and we will continue our efforts to keep the NHL in Arizona."
Pretty liberal use of the royal "we" there, Greggy.

I wonder if they do the appropriate thing and use the renaming clause to brand to what the team really is: the Arizona Albatross.

We have a leak!

So... Where's NJIT off to with the Great West gone?

911, what is your emergency?
Help, please! Someone's broken into my house!
I'm sorry ma'am. Glendale PD doesn't have any first responders left. I tell you what, for your inconvenience, I'm going to mail you a pair of Coyotes tickets. Have a nice day!

where would their 2012 Pacific Division Champions banner hang?
On a flagpole made of Ryane Clowe's used sticks.
Mounted in the newly expanded Westgate City Center parking lot?
