Great real time blogging by OFB.

I have decided to not blog about each game. We have so many media now covering us and so many capable bloggers, I no longer need to feed the algorithmic monster. Kudos to our community for creating a network of sites and so much ink and digital and video inputs that I can sit it out.

 We had a very good night on the business side last night. While our crowd was announced at about 700 additional people compared to last season, we had about 1,500 more paid tickets sold. Our revenues increase about 20 percent year over year. And the merchandising sales were off the chart. We had the best night in the history of new ownership in terms of sales or what is called in the industry, per cap numbers. It was great to see so many people wearing red. Thank you so much. I thought all of the new graphics and music and the new scoreboard worked well. I thought our fans were loud and enthusiastic and we showed many more replays. The coaches and players all commented on how loud our building is when we have so many fans at the arena. And yes, I noted Slapshot

Wow – very informative!
