D&C - New Rhinos owner eager to win back fans, sponsors
Rhinos Soccer.com - Traffic and Parking plan
The D&C is firing up the Rhinos coverage, the Rhinos staff are working like crazy, thousands of people have their lovely new season tickets, Danny Earls is signed and expected in town in a couple of weeks, and Bo Bice is getting ready to entertain the fans.
Now if only the weather man would cooperate.........
Honestly, I'm a lot more excited about what's going on off the field (heck, I'm excited that there will BE a season!). But, I am really hoping that getting back home helps kickstart the team and doesn't just create more pressure that just makes things worse.
So, get your ponchos ready as the re-opening of PAETEC Park may just see weather that is very much like what we saw at the stadium's original opening!
