Coffee Friday! If you owned the local arena, what would you do during these budget cuts situations???!!!???

1. Whichever vendor is paying the most to have me stock it wins.

2. Radio's a lot cheaper, especially if you pipe it in and let the fans hear the commercials, news, and weather too.

3. Stop haveing $0.50 beer night (and start having $1.00 beer night) - the kids still play for free.

4. Close down the stairwell. I could sell those as seats to fans and they could listen to the radio feed while getting the cheers

5. Nachos - the rest are less leabour intensive and therefore cheaper

6. The entertainment during the intermission, I can always make money pimping out the Ice Girl Cheerleaders

7. Only after the cheque's no longer in the mail!

1. You have to decide between having Coke OR Pepsi Products at the concession stands?

- Choke-a-Cola of course! The only reason for me to drink Pepsi would be if I were stranded in the desert.

2. You have to decide to have all “organ” music OR all upbeat radio music to be played at intermissions, commercials, & breaks in the game?

- The organ music isn't too intrusive.

3. Stop letting a local pee-wee league play for free or stop having 50 cent beer night on the first game of every month?

- Well, I am a recovering addict, so if I have to suffer, then everyone has to suffer. Besides, the kids put up a better game than the pro's sometimes.

4. You have to decide to close down a bathroom or close down an extra stairwell (it would not be a fire hazard)?

- Without the beer who needs a bathroom?

5. You have to decide to drop an item from you concession menu. Do you drop hotdogs, popcorn, nachos, or buffalo wings?

- Jessica Alba or Kate Beckinsale? Hmm, I could drop the popcorn I suppose, but I won't be happy doing it.

6. Fire the Ice Girl Cheerleaders or the entertainment during intermission?

- I'd keep the Ice Girls, can the entertainment, and to show my economic prowess, I'd cut back on the Ice Girls uniforms too. Hey, gotta save a buck one way or another.

7. Tampax Tampons is willing to sponsor your arena, & get you out of debt, if you rename the arena to “The Tampax Center”. Do you do it?

- Only if I owned the Lightning.

1.) Coke!! I think it tastes better.

2.) Organ music. It's classic, and I don't want weird songs played during intermission - Like Umbrella by Rihanna. They play that so much at Prudential.

3.) Stop having 50 cent beer. People will buy beer regardless of the price. At Prudential it's like, $8 but I see drunk people everywhere anyway! Plus, I want the little kids to play.

4.) Close the stairwell. You did say it was "extra" so it's probably not that bad to close it. People have to pee you know! The more bathrooms the better so people don't have to go far and can make it back to their seats quicker. And I hate standing in bathroom lines.

5.) Popcorn. Nachos, buffalo wings, and hotdogs are the best. Premade popcorn gets dry and icky.

6.) Ice Girls. Definitely. They serve no purpose. The random games during intermission are at least somewhat entertaining. The girls just walk around and do stuff in their skimpy outfits.

7.) Yes, only if I get to rename it Tampa X Center. If not, I'm in debt!! I'm not gonna have an arena named after Tampons!! Lol, Playtex would be worse. They make tampons AND bras.

1. actually would go with Coke, there is a reason most places do and its nothing to do with the customer, its all about the price. coke's products are cheaper, Pepsi does do a great job on individual item, 20 oz bottles and such, but the bib's are all coke. Coke also has the more reliable fountain system from what I have seen.

2 Radio, Health insurance premiums for granny is outrageous. Teenager pushing radio buttons don't even want insurance.

3. Pee Wee need to pay up, whats the saying cash grass something no body rides for free.

4.bathroom, also would be saving a lot on water and cleaning crew. screw the common people i got a bathroom in my private box.

5. no more wings. other three are staples at every arena and have a high cost vs profit margin, wings both take longer to cook and cost lot more.

6 ice girl, intermission is provided by advertisers. if the ice girls get a sponsor they too can stay.

7. As long as they don't add the slogan blood stays inside these doors. that would be to much for me.

so i was outside tampax center on day and you will never guess who i ran into, the red wings. Never guess what happened, owner gave me the team, said i had earned them, so guess got my wings and have the tampax center stilll, what a day. Guess its better then geting the blues huh

1. Pepsi! I like Mountain Dew a lot..

2. Upbeat Radio Music..im that kinda guy.

3. 50 Cent Beer Night! 50 Cent is awesome.

4. Close down an extra stairwell..everyone needs to use a bathroom sometime during a game.

5. Popcorn..isnt that supposed to be for the movies?

6. Entertainment! We need the ice girls..you know what i mean. ;]

7. Yes! Sounds like a sweet name, LOL.

1) Pepsi products.

2) Gotta have the upbeat music.

3) 50 cent beer night. Let the pee-wee league have their fun.

4) The extra stairwell. Bathrooms are a necessity.

5) Aw man....popcorn. The popcorn's out.

6) No contest. The Ice Sluts are gone. They're worthless anyway.

7) No. There will be no Tampax Center under MY ownership!

1) Pepsi. Everybody drink up, as I have been a stockholder in the company for 10 years.

2) Gotta go old school, bring back the organ. But the guy/gal can never play "Lady Of Spain"

3)Sorry everybody, but the kids have to come first. I'll make it Dollar Beer Night, still be a big draw.

4)If it's the Ladies Room, it could cause a riot, so the stairwell would go first.

5)Probably Buffalo Wings. The other stuff has enough salt to keep you buying the brews.

6)Ice Girls. Fans would rather have the T-shirts shot into the stands anyway.

7)"Come to the Tampax Center, and watch a real bloodbath on ice!"

1. Coke. Pepsi tastes to sweet.

2. I'll flip a coin.

3. 50 cent periods and a small fee for the peewee team.

4. Sorry guys. Exiting is gonna get a bit longer.

5. Wings. Hot dogs, Popcorn, and Nachos are concession staples.

6. The Joe already doesn't have Cheerleaders.

7. Never.

1.) Pepsi, Coke is too bubbly and doesn't mix as well with Whiskey.

2.) Dead silence... You'd get used to it...

3.) Screw the local pee-wee league, you wanna lose half your crowd?

4.) Close down the damn stairwell, nothing makes people more irritable than waiting in long lines for the restroom.

5.) Buffalo Wings, the rest are arena classics.

6.) Entertainment during the intermission, thats when everyone goes to the bathroom, or to get beer anyways.

7.) NOOOOO, and scare all the men away... Don't be silly.

(Check out my question in the other hockey home lol).

1. Pepsi

2. Radio

3. I'll stop letting the pee wee hockey team play. The 50 cent beer night attracts more fans, even though it might cost me at first.

4. Close the stairwell, if it's not a fire hazard. The lines at the bathrooms at hockey games are epic...

5. I love nachos, and I love buffalo wings, and hot dogs are pretty popular. I guess I'll drop popcorn, I think it's more of a movie snack, not a hockey snack.

6. Uhhh, what entertainment? lol. Depends on what the entertainment is...

7. No way! I'm getting out of debt myself. I'm calling JG Wentworth or something, lol.
