There was a steady stream of water pouring down on some kid in Row G of section 103 for the last three minutes of the game. Someone near me said (with the evening's performance) "the arena is crying."
Agreed! The new seats suck. My wife complained the entire time that the cup holder dug into her knee. She's right, it was like going from business class to coach in section 108. It also rained hard in the 5th row of 108 most of the game. I've never seen it rain indoors at the arena before.
what is up with only one "Ohio Beer" area in the entire arena? It took 25 minutes to navigate the ridiculous mess of concession lines to get there, wait on this one dude to serve beers and get back to my seat. I'd say the "best fan experience" crap is dead and gone. I was pissed each time I had to hike through that crowd and back for a beer with actual hops you can taste.
I still say this is the best assembled team we have ever had on the ice. I am pumped for solid improvement each game. Still can't believe that was the same Savard from last year.
I agree on the beer situation being 'sub-par'...there is a craft beer stand behind sections 117/118, but the prices are incredibly high!! [$8.25 of for a 14 oz cup of draft beer] and I also saw some Founders Centennial IPA for $9 a friggin bottle in the 'convenience store' just inside the front door....hell, I can get a SIX PACK of Centennial for $10.99 at my local craft store...the price gouging at sports venues is very very sad in my opinion....
On a seating side note, the 'new and improved' seating was very tight!! I'm 6' and my knees were up against the seat in front of me most of the night (at least the cup holders are removeable, that helped immensely!!)...
I have not set in the new seats yet so what is smaller about them? The seat frames themselves are still the old ones so the side to side width should not have changed. Is it just the leg space that seem less? Is the space the same just with cup holders now in the way?
wondering how many people like the song they play after every goal?
I think playing any song after every goal will quickly make that song awful... i wish we just stuck to the horn.

Didn't notice, which should tell you something.
