Remaining fans drank beer, ate concession stand food and booed the Zamboni operators clearing the ice. Season ticket holder Audrey Soltis saw the delay as anything but a minor problem. After waiting nearly two hours for the game to begin, she and her husband Don went home mad. You have to give credit to the fans though. They're the best in the league.
Tonight proves that more than ever.
Fans weren't the only unhappy ones. Central Texas Stampede coach Todd Lalonde said the delay was unwarranted. A lack of organization was also to blame, he said. IceRays officials said that to compensate for the delay, IceRays merchandise will be 40 percent off at their Sunrise Mall store and at the coliseum. Brainerd said she went to the ticket office to inquire about a refund and was asked to leave her name and phone number.
