That's Nicholas-Johnson. Regularly, it is the basketball teams' practice facility. Sits between the Kohl Center and LaBahn Arena (though I'm not sure if there is a way to enter N-J from LaBahn directly). |

There's is a small breezeway between the west concourse of LaBahn and the Nicholas-Johnson Pavillion that also doubles as the pass/media entrance to LaBahn. There's also connections from the Kohl Center end of the underneath tunnel. |

WI sold out every single home match (up to the Regional Semi, for some weird reason). That means that every single season ticket seat was sold (or converted to a “single game” seat, which then sold every match). When your season ticket block is filled, you can deal with new season ticket requests by: 1) expand it at the cost of single-game tickets/seats. 2) expand the capacity of the arena, to create new seats. 3) allow $$$ to rule, so new people can buy someone else’s seat if they pay enough. 4) put them on a waiting list, and wait for current season ticket holders to quit/move/die. They're essentially going with option 4, but by increasing the price of tickets, they are trying to increase attrition. I doubt they're actually trying to increase attrition -- for them, a paid seat is a paid seat, whether by someone just starting to watch VB, or someone who's been coming for 30 years. They *are* certainly trying to make more money off the sport. For a long time, WI ticket prices have been incredibly low, compared to MN (or maybe we've just been incredibly high).  Our chairback sections are $250 total ($150 tickets, $100 "gift"), but that spans a much larger area than the Fieldhouse's "Gold" section, so some of the chairback seats have, shall we say, less desirable viewing angles. Our lowest season ticket, though, is $150, and our individual tickets range from (iirc) $12-20, depending on the opponent. |

I was more meaning that increased prices will result in attrition in a way that stable prices do not. |

East side of Green Bay, on Bellevue off of Mason St, Cranky Pat's Pizza; thin crust, on the expensive side, but worth it for 'occasions'. My father's restaurant - yes he was cranky pretty regularly; still run by my niece and her husband. Been there since 1960. |

What we really need is to convert her to Badger volleyball! Also UWGB periodically has a good Horizon league team. You also forgot to mention the state championship matches in November are in the Resch Center right by Lambeau. |
