CC To Camouflage World Arena On National TV

DU @ CC
Friday, Dec. 2nd
8 PM MT
Plenty Of Good Seats Available
TV: CBS Sports Network

You have to hand it to our friends down in Colorado College. They are hosting a nationally televised game on Friday night against the Evil Empire From The North [that's us]. 

So far so good.
.
As part of Wear Black Night, the Empty Stocking Fund will sell black T-shirts with the CC hockey logo for $10 or two for $18 at the ESF table by Section 102 on the World Arena concourse. All the money raised going to the annual campaign, which is sponsored in part by The Colorado Springs Gazette.

So Colorado College is too cheap to buy T-shirts for the fans, but at least money is being raised for a good cause.  We'll give them a pass on this as well.

But with all their fans to "wearing black" won't the seats look empty?

Not to mention that the puck becomes hard to see with the darker background. Who is the genius behind this?

Their NCAA participation banners will really look nice against the black backdrop.

TV: CBS Sports Network, (Comcast 170, DirecTV 613 and Dish 152). Game may start at 8:12 p.m. if it is delayed by Game 1 of the national doubleheader (No. 13 Boston University at No. 2 Boston College).

I think the seats there are a lovely shade of purple or something like that?

Seriously, that building is a dump. Corrugated metal in the arena bowl? Really? Can't believe it opened the same year as the Ritchie Center.

The beer is better and cheaper though, have to hand that to them.

Where is everyone going pre and post game?

I like our ice cold Molsons at Magness - best hockey-game beer ever. They may not be cheap, but they are good. We also have a Guiness stand this year too.

And the new Paella ($9) and Empanadas ($4) at the Crimson Club concession stand is a fantastic new food additions this year. Gotta get there before the game starts if you aren't a Crimson Club member.

3:50....completely agree. World Arena is a rathole. I've been in port-a-johns that are nicer. DU needs to pound on the kitty cats on Friday.

Be a Tiger? As in Tiger Woods? And have your girl beat you down like a little bitch? Works for me. Denver plays the wife in the Scenario.... Or, you mean be a Tiger, like Sigfried & Roy? Whipping and Controlling....in that Scenario, DU plays Sigfried and Roy..... controlling what the cat does. Denver will beat CC on national TV. Why? Because CC Sucks.

Ya know... I'm really starting to love the term CC gave us as the "evil empire to the north". I mean besides the conference trophies, national titles and great players that have rolled through DU... just the term empire, really makes me feel we have established something CC could never have. :)

Funny how in some venues, promoting a 'black-out' by the fan base is considered racially insensitive while it's highly acceptable at others. Can't wait to see all those 'floating' heads in the building. Go DU.

What else should be expected from the blackface team?

Southern Colorado trash is what it is...

"DU plays Sigfried and Roy"

What are you trying to say? Didn’t the tiger maul Roy? Or does this have something to do with lifelong bachelors?
