A recent article in the St. Petersburg Times talked about a proposed $40 million in improvements to the home of the Tampa Bay Lightning, the St. Pete Times Forum. The improvements are to include installation of an old-fashioned pipe organ. Well, if that happens, sign me up for season tickets. One of my favorite memories of my time in the USHL was the night in Indianapolis where they played all organ music. That was cool. Organ music at a hockey or baseball game is way cooler than recorded music you'd normally hear on the radio.
