He used to play it a lot in the late 80’s and early 90’s when he did a lot of “Gay Community Updates”
Season. During baseball season, a lot of those Yankees head back north. During most of the hockey season, they’re looking for entertainment in FL. I have a lot of relatives and friends that do exactly that.
Tropicana Field is not exactly Fenway Park. That stadium has a much atmosphere as a pile of cement. Amalie Arena has a Stanley Cup winner. Hockey is growing here. Also, Tropicana Field is hard to get to. St. Pete is nice, but most of the population are north and east of Tampa. The Rsys would love a stadium near the Fairgrounds (I4 and 75/US 301 area or downtown Tampa.
The NY Rangers v Washington Capitals game was exciting last night! And the Hartford WP won the game last night (not the series) vs. the Hershey, PA Bears, the AHL club for the Washington Capitals. Game 6 this Friday at 7 at the XL Center...
Interesting... that's kind of what I expected. Thanks.
Oh my goodness... I couldn't agree more, LOL!! My jaw dropped when I first walked into Tropicana Field years ago. I proclaimed the place "an insult to the game of baseball". We've always had a good time when we've gone there, but it's an awful place overall.

Interesting.. thanks. I have heard numerous times that Tropicana Field is hard to get to. It seemed easy to us, but of course we don't live in Florida.

UConn Hockey at the XL outdraws the Wolfpack.
Greetings RWI
Hope you are wrong. I think if the Wolfpack was afarm team of the Blue Jackets, I think you’d see fans in the seats. I think the Rangers is Not doing Hartford any favors having their farm team there.
Conrail been sold to CSX and NorforkSouthen.
Yes. This past season was UConn's first at the XL Center. Yale and Quinnipiac University both have great hockey teams as well.
Other AHL teams within easy driving distance to us: The Springfield (MA) Falcons and the Providence Bruins. The Springfield Falcons were the farm club for the Columbus Blue Jackets. Next season they will switch to the AHL team for the Arizona Coyotes.
NHL teams within a fairly easy driving distance.. Boston Bruins, NY Rangers, NJ Devils and New York Islanders. Hockey overload up here!
Howdy! Weather is nice here. Town is still nice and quite but filling up slowly.
Your family dinner you had a few days ago....how was it? Lunch?
Is your town a summer tourist destination point?
Go Hershey...(sorry, but I can’t stand the NYRangers or anything to do with them)
It is hard to get to, especially when the fan base is east of your home base.
Lesbian chat? Really?
Let’s go back to deflate gate.
The farm team of the Columbus Blue Jackets is/was the Springfield (Mass.) Falcons. They drew even fewer fans than the Wolf Pack, from what I've witnessed. We like the Mass Mutual venue in Springfield.. small and kind of intimate... very different from the XL Center. No seat is a bad seat.
The Dunkin' Donuts Center in Providence (home of the Providence Bruins) is gorgeous.. kind of like a small TD Garden (Boston).
Next season the Springfield Falcons switch to the AHL team for the Arizona Coyotes.
I think the Rangers is Not doing Hartford any favors having their farm team there.
I don't know. We have some friends who still haven't gotten over the exit of the Whalers who root for the Wolf Pack. FWIW, at every game, the WP organization pays tribute to the former Whalers on the big (brand-new) jumbo-tron that hangs over the ice. "40 Years of hockey in Hartford"
My husband and I are Wolf Pack "partial season ticket holders" (10-game packs). We get to go to some interesting team meetings, meet the team party, etc. Upper level employees of the Wolf Pack tell us they LOVE having the NY Rangers as a parent company. They say they are treated very well by the organization.
Despite how much they will deny it when asked, women who live a lesbian sex style would prefer a man over a woman. The two reasons they choose another woman is because none of the men they would have sex with are interested in having sex with them.
That is why many lesbian couples fight over one looking at a man. Ann Heisch (sp?) Left Ellen for a guy.
LOL! I understand. Kind of like how I feel about the NY Yankees...
