Stanley Cup to be in Bolingbrook.

[esbrechtel]

[quote name="Kerfuffle"]My wife just called - said she went with her friend to Haray Caray's in Lombard to see the cup today. The cops were there and said the event got out of hand - they had way too many people there so they were limiting everyone to 15 seconds a piece with the cup and then cut the line off. My wife said about 200 people still stayed in line past the cutoff point hoping they would take more people in. My wife gave up and took off. Just wait til the convention - the line there will be even worse.[/quote]



They let you take 2 pictures per camera...I was there with my sister, we had one camera and we each wanted a picture individually the guy running it said "hope you don't blink"

I had a few guys at golf today that had pics taken with the cup. They never followed hockey until I told them about the Hawks. Now they have pics of them with the cup and I don't.



Things in the hockey world are not right.

Plain and simple, STH's deserve a chance with the Cup.

 

[esbrechtel]

When I was in the line today marveling at how many people were there, I thought back to the day when I waited in cold ass weather to get Khabby's auto at Hawkquarters and how there was almost no one there for a goaltender who had just won a cup, the Hawks were an afterthought in Chicago Sports now they are probably one of the most popular teams here



I would imagine they have to do something for you season ticket holders...they have to....the old regime would

There are a few names I can name too, but I have to play good moderator.

Oh, and Jako is 100% dead on.

I, along with a few other warriors, are trying to hassle enough people. Through twitter.

A valiant effort on the Twitterverse, I must say.



STH are getting screwed, that's for sure.

I only went to Bolingbrook 'cause my schedule worked oot perfectly with work.



Plus I wanted my wife to go so we could get our Christmas card pic.



When STH get their chance, I'll likely give my tickets away.

See that's the funny thing, despite all the talk about how the office is doing things better and want to be the best, service has actually gone down. I suppose that's when there are 100s waiting to take my seat.

Ding ding!



Although service NEVER was better under this regime. It's gone down hill since they took over. Least IMO.

Completely agree. I love it when my reps starts statement with, "Well before it was....". Next time she says that I'm going to kindly remind her that I've has tickets longer than she's worked there so don't try and tell me how it was.

68.50 to 130.00 per seat now. Most of these punks they are hiring would give a shit either way.

If anyone has a prime opportunity to see the cup, and has an extra ticket for it, I hope that ticket goes to Tbird.
