Game Five - San Angelo Coliseum Saints vs. Jackolopes Score:  Saints 4 - Jackolopes 2

Sunday, 10/24

I traveled from San Angelo to Austin, TX. Saw the Austin Ice Bats vs. Laredo Bucks at the Travis County Expo Center.

Here are some notes about the game/arena I saw there: - The Expo Center was quite a distance from downtown. - The second level of seating was metal benches with a strip of metal backing (it's where I sat and it wasn't so bad). - Kudos to the Ice Bats organization.  They had a 'puck in play' rule and they enforced it! - I couldn't understand the announcer at all.  The speaker system was muffled and there was a slight echo.  Needless to say, much of my scoresheet is blank expect for period, team, and time. - The Austin fans were a little more respective than the San Angelo fans (maybe because it was a Sunday afternoon game).  I liked it. - I didn't notice a net above the seating area above the goaltender.  - I liked the Laredo away jerseys.  Blue with brown horns.
