I rolled into town at about 11AM this morning and hit up the rink and got a bit of a tour of the visiting locker room. This place really is something else. There will be more info as we get closer, but I did want to share a few photos with you. Check 'em out after the break.

| These guys were out there for quite a while, removing every visible mark from the glass. Scrubbing and working until you can barely tell that there is glass there. |
Seriously, this place has class written everywhere. The most interesting part, not a single ad on the boards, or anywhere else around the rink that my eye could see. From the fan's perspective, the best part has to be the 3rd story club, a full menu grill with drinks and table seating over looking the entire rink. Sadly, its on the exact opposite side of the press booth...

Looks like a beautiful facility. Hopefully, within the next 50 years or so, we can get something like that on the UAF campus.
