How in the world are they going to fit 600 people inside of Northlands? |

They've spruced up the place at Northland and re-did their website. I'm not sure how many seats they have compared to Sports Plus. Acc. to the website they're the official practice ice for the Cyclones - http://www.northlandicecenter.com . |

Northland isn't really that big for seating but there is a lot of standing room and I'm sure they'll bring in lots of seats as well. I think it'll work out pretty ok.
Also its better than SP anyway, especially since new ownership has taken over there. |

New proshop at Northlands is so much bigger than before. Cyclones have a dedicated locker room at Northlands as well. |

The team will save at least $10,000 by having the game at Northland.
Opening up USBA is an expensive proposition and very little revenue is generated in pre season.
With only 600 seats perhaps a scalping opportunity may present itself |

Too bad they couldn't have found a site like Miami Univ. where a large venue in the area could possibly introduce new fans. Even down in Lexington could have been interesting- close enough for our fans if on a Saturday night. |

US Bank Arena is not available on that date due to Disney on Ice. So hence the move to Northlands. I agree Miami would have been nice but they are playing at Goggin that night as well. I imagine the Clones would rather play any place else but Northlands but it looks like it is the only real option. |

Lexington is not close to Cincinnati. I would say to at least keep it in our own state. |

It's still close enough that old Lexington fans still come up some games. I know because I have talked to them in person. Also Lexington would be a great close location for another ECHL franchise possibly down the road. |

I remember going to a preseason game at Miami at old Goggin. I forget how many that arena held - a thou. maybe? It was quite a few years ago, against the K-Wings. |

I remember going to the IHL/NHL preseason double header at the gardens when I was in high school. This may sound like an awful idea, but if the Cyclones were to play at Miami. Why not have a double header game at Miami? Both fans of the Cyclones and Redhawks would experience each others games. Considering the Cyclones would have much to lose on this idea, I doubt it would ever happen. |

I remember this. I was just a kid, but I remember the Cylones played someone (I can't remember the opponent), and the Florida Panthers played the New York Islanders I believe. I was barely old enough to remember it at the time, but I do remember being there for it! |
