im really trying to go to some lightning games this year. they are playing great lately, and have a 13 game home stand starting today. i really want to see stamkos play live.
im not sure if you guys have this at your local stadiums, but check this deal out...
$25 gets you a $15 300 section seat, plus all you can eat and drink(not beer) until the end of 2nd intermission for all remaining home games. i think thats a great promotion, especially to bring your children. can you imagine your parents taking you to a game, and them saying you can have as many hotdogs, nachos, peanuts, soda, or whatever you want? i grew up pretty poor, so a combination of a hockey game, and all i could eat, it would be a such a great experience.
they also have a guys night out offer, same as all you can eat, but $3 beers, and you get to meet the lightning girls after the game.
i once got a similar experience for a washington nationals baseball game, but it was "diamond club" seats, which were the best seated section. i had front row right behind the away teams batter box, and they were playing san fransisco, and it was one of barry bonds first games back from missing almost the whole season with an injury(2005). the diamond club got us free "vip" parking(it took us 3 minutes to get from the car to our seats, and dc parking was VERY expensive) a pre game buffet with an AWESOME spread(sodas, beers, hotdogs, hamburgers, brisket, pasta, fires, nachos. then, all you can eat and drink, but the kicker was, they take your order from your seat, and bring it to you! that hands down, was the best sporting experience ever.
OK, link number one. its way easy to make it look like you got the better of a guy if you start punching him while hes halfway in the bench.
As for link number two, i stopped watching about 10 seconds in. theres a procedure for a hockey fight. we all know how it goes. when your boy has to chop someones legs out and start swinging before your opponent knows whats going on...somethings rotten in denmark.
i should let you know, you're never gonna win me over on that asshole. i met the man. while he was polite, i could tell his on ice persona wasnt far off. i was also at the game where he stuck his leg out and ruined Roenick's knee. JR never really came back from that.
my point? slap a pair of glasses on the guy and this is all you get.
lol Good attendance? Us Canucks love our hockey so much Toronto and Ottawa have sell outs most of the year....and the teams suck Oh and we pay $80 for a 300 level seat on top of the $12 beer
