Oh Puhlease!

We recently attended the Rampage Military Appreciation Night. Steven has been in the Air Force for 11 years. In that time he has been deployed to Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Curacoa, and completed a one year tour in Korea where he was not able to take Colby and I with him. He is now a Military Training Instructor at Lackland AFB. In this position he works 18 hour days for weeks at a time to train incoming Airman. So, when we heard the Rampage was hosting a Military Appreciation Night we decided to go. Colby plays hockey and we frequently go to the games. When we arrived and purchased our tickets we realized that there was no discount for military personnel or their families. We were told that the only seats available were balcony level. Thinking that surely there was more to Military Appreciation Night, we purchased our balcony level tickets at full price and went in. Once inside we decided to ask one of the ushers what Military Appreciation Night was all about. He directed us to a supervisor. It was then that we learned that Military Appreciation Night did not include any discounts for military guests but simply a military display in one of the lobbies and a tribute during intermission. To top off the evening we saw an Iraq War Veteran who lost a limb also seated in the balcony level. It was bad enough that Military Appreciation Night did not include discounts for military personnel but to sit a disabled Iraq War Veteran in the balcony level is unexcusable. We have received flyers through our Colby's school where upper level tickets (not right on the glass but up one level) can be purchased for $15 and with that you receive a hot dog, soda, and a bag of chips. If they are able to do this for the schools, why couldn't it have been done for Military Appreciation Night. This was a huge disappointment. I believe the Rampage will lose fans for this.
