Meet spike. He's in the photo. As for me, I'm a hockey, comic, music, and pizza fan.

@FriedgeHNIC you were talking about attendance on the latest #32thoughts and mentioned Chicago. I can say as a full season ticket holder, I was surprised by the Tuesday game vs the Pens. A decent contributor to that is the new start time of 7pm cst. People can’t get there on time

The Jets sadly haven’t been a huge draw, but the overall effect of the Bears being good, and the Hawks being less than that have been a huge factor too. The fan experience is becoming increasingly repetitive and isn’t as exciting for the common fan IMO, and very annoying to me.

The last bit is the 1901 project closing many of the parking lots. It’s increasingly more difficult and expensive to attend a game. It will probably rebound some, but it was a very surprising change compared to previous seasons. It’s not exactly ok there. Keep an eye on it.

@jayzawaski I know you and everyone there are thrilled about the 7pm start times. I’m happy for you, but I am not. As a full season ticket holder since 95/96, this is the sort of thing that makes me not want to go to games.

It’s going to cost me an about extra 90 minutes each game just in traffic and travel. I’d have been happier if they moved them to 9pm or 1:20pm. 7 is just about the most inconvenient time possible. I’ll have to leave work early every single weekday game I go to now.

@jayzawaski @CHGO_Blackhawks I listened to your pod this morning from yesterday. I can’t emphasize this enough as someone who goes to almost as many games as the 2 of you each year (full ssn ticket), you cannot be more wrong about an early start time on weekdays.

I usually try to sell early starts, as it ruins my nights and enjoyment of the games. People HATE the early starts. It’s nearly enough of an issue that I would start to seriously consider giving up my seats after 30+ years if they went to a full season of 7pm starts.

I love you guys and appreciate your show. This is just something that sets me off in the worst way. I have very few things that make me more insanely angry than an early weekday start. I e already called my ticket rep 5x today about this. Hell no

Chris Vosters is a hell of a guy, and he really put in the work. He was at every skate and every practice, home and away, talking to players, building relationships and trying to improve. Still a young guy, still has a bright future. But the fans spoke, and the team listened.

Just a note when score watching over the final games of the season: Cheer for wins for the Golden Knights, Kings, and Predators. Those 3 teams, along with the Lightning are all within 2 points of each other. These results could greatly affect the “Tampa Pick” the Hawks own.

This is a wild Chicago weekend, to be sure. But if you are visiting, come late-night to @TheWienerCircle. Great people making great food (Char dog with everything, cheddar fries).

Bears suddenly competent, Hawks get #1 pick, if we can get Rocky Wirtz's limo to crash into Reinsdorf's in a fiery blaze it could be a real new era for Chicago.

when Thurgood Marshall was confirmed in 1967 to become the first black man on the Supreme Court, 16 of 22 senators from the 11 states of the old Confederacy voted no or didn't vote when Ketanji Brown Jackson was confirmed today to become the first black woman, 18 of 22 voted no
