This season the Tampa Bay Barracuda are going around and placing Place Holders in all of the seats normally held by Season Ticket Holders. These Place Holders (PH) are unique one of a kind, hand cut outs of pictures that fans sent in. The Place Holder itself is a bit of controversy since there is nobody actually checking the pictures before they get printed, laminated, and put out in the stands. So the Tampa Bay Barracuda players need to take some sharpies with them out in the stands and improvise on some of the Place Holders themselves if they are deemed too inappropriate. The players don't really like Place Holders, they say it doesn't represent the fans in the same way. The Place Holders are cheap, don't make any noises, and honestly just get creepy being out in the stands. Especially since they've opened up the penalty box so players can sit in the stands. So instead of fans heckling the players, it's the players heckling the Place Holders.

To fully pump up the team though, they've asked the arts department to print out some Place Holders with the faces of the upcoming opposing team. This really gets the boys going. They take the Place Holders and put them in front of the net, around the Offensive zone and just work drills with them all day. Taking clappers as hard as they can towards the Place Holders.
