Litter Box Cats, a Florida Panthers community

Includes a five-minute video of Yormark talking with Mike Ozanian about the Panthers and their financial state.

This is the loan SSE was asking for to build the nightclub/bar that was going to fetch $22,000/season for seat owners in Sec. 134 - 102.

Via the Sun-Sentinel's Brittany Wallman: "In a letter from the company that owns the Florida Panthers, Sunrise Sports and Entertainment, President Michael Yormark told the county mayor and commissioners that he’d seek the loan to pay for improvements to the center ice seating section and the executive suites."

In the absence of any broadcast, we’re taking our toys over to On Frozen Pond for the evening, as GR has been kind enough to host another preseason of game chats for those unable to attend, so come on by. We’ll of course be back with our own live Open Thread madness when the regular season kicks off.

From the club via Harvey/Sun-Sentinel: Potential projects for the multipurpose event center and home ice of the NHL’s Florida Panthers include the creation of state-of-the-art, all-inclusive premium seating locations, an inner bowl bar, suite-level opera boxes, digital signage opportunities and more. Really hope this includes a new scoreboard.

Presented without comment. This is the current review of the BAC at Stadium Journey, a site which I have found useful in the past. In the interest of full disclosure, I wrote the rather different review that appeared on the site last season. The first two paragraphs of my formerly 1400 word review can still be seen under "crowd reviews." I'm told they like comments, so have at it.

From American Forces Press Service: The 22-year-old Marine, who served with Company K, 3rd Battalion, 7th Marines, based at Twentynine Palms, Calif., was leading a rifle squad during a reconnaissance mission, when he and his fellow Marines responded to an attack on their commander’s convoy. Dunham wrestled an insurgent to the ground, and jumped onto a live grenade the insurgent had dropped to smother the blast. The Arleigh Burke-class Aegis missile cruiser will be home-ported in Fort Lauderdale; the Panthers will honor Dunham during this evening's puck drop, followed by a recognition of the crew in the second intermission.
