Over on Raw Charge, Cassie McClellan plays up the importance of the Tod Leiweke hiring and it’s relevance to the fans:

….Leiweke has a history of making the game experience fan friendly. Not only fan friendly, but including the fans in the game – as being a part of the team and a part of the game experience. They’re not just passive observers who supply money, but active participants in the event.

And that’s why you should care about who is CEO of the Lightning. That’s why hiring Tod Leiweke matters. It will directly impact the fans, and in a good way.

Expect changes at the St. Pete Times Forum over the coming months as Leiweke starts implementing a more fan-friendly experience.
