It really didn't sound loud at the home opener to you? I thought it was the loudest non concert sound system event I've ever been to and I've been to a shit ton of events.

I sit behind the net and 128 is basically dead center so maybe that's why there's a difference in experience, everyone around me was complaining too, all different ages too so not like we are just a couple of old cranks lol
Honestly I have no idea about the echo. I know my hearing isn't the best, but prior to this season, I never had a problem hearing the PA announcements - every single one of them including goal scoring assists. Saturday was the worst audio experience I've ever experienced.

Possible, I sit in 120 and didn’t notice anything out of the ordinary volume wise…maybe it’s more pronounced in the lower bowl or the other end?
I'm on the attack 2x side, I assume it's just a learning curve with the new system, or like someone on njdevs said since this game was gonna be close to a sell out vs the less crowded preseason games that they turned the volume up a lot more on my side than it was for preseason.
Curious to see how it is tomorrow cause it definitely won't be as crowded

I sat 3 rows from the glass on the shoot twice side and it was foul.
Obviously it's going to be different given the section, but don't pump up how amazing the new one is (not you, management) and then ruin it for half the arena.
This is coming from a guy who's been to literally hundreds of shows and festivals.

This makes sense then since we were on the same side of the rink. Guess they had our side speakers turned up louder than the rest.
I'm with you on being to literally hundreds of shows as well so you know it's bad when people who like loud music can't stand it.
We were in 133 and same - have been to close to 150 events (games, concerts) the past 6 years or so in many different locations and never did I have any problem with the sound. Saturday, the music was no problem other than loud, but any verbal announcements were impossible for me to understand.

I went to Barclay's for Nets games a few times last year and it's simply not an issue there.
And they play music in the middle of in game action.

NJ Devils STH
One of the STH perks for this season was a complimentary seat upgrade for a game... well it was very nice (sarcasm) of my ticket rep to email me today that he dropped my upgrade into my account for the game tonight that I can't even attend. I have to say it's not at all a benefit if you give me a ticket to a game without much notice and pick a game where most of the arena is empty for anyway... Thanks?
That's so silly, where was the upgrade to? I can't imagine they won't be able to change it at least.

With Yankees game rescheduled to today at 4pm tonight's game could set the all time record low for attendance at the rock. Will be a struggle to have 8K in the building tonight.

Eh. They've gone head to head with big games in other sports before.
The 4pm start could also be a boon since the Yankees game will most likely be over by 7.
And lest we forget the 334 club.
Lots of people still don't care about baseball, myself included. There was a snow game vs St. Louis in 2014 where the Devils blew them out that they told everyone in the 100s and 200s that they could go down to the lower bowl if they wanted because so many people stayed home cause of the snow. Was probably like 4k, 5k tops.
Unless a horde of NJ ticket holders are at Yankee stadium they can easily find a place to watch close to the Rock and the baseball game should end before the hockey game starts.

I was at that game as well.
That was a monster blizzard and some people in the clubs were pissed that they let us all in.
4k might be generous tbh but I don't actually know.
Was that the snow game where some players just left their cars on the road and walked to the arena? Maybe against Calgary about 25 years ago?

That was the 334 club, as in that's how many people showed up.
But I do believe players had issues getting to and from for the 2014 game as well.
I never loved owning a Subaru as much as I did that day.

I recall the local coverage of that game and while I wished I had gone at the time in retrospect it would have been a suicide ride.
I attended that St. Louis game! Since the rock opened I’ve driven to all the games with the exception of three and I took the train that night for safety. The photo is buried in my iCloud somewhere but that year was when the Diablos were still a thing and a lone member attended and stood the entire game in section 122. I’ll post it if I find it! But kuddos to you sir if you are on these boards!

Except for the guy directly behind me who keeps screaming at the top of his lungs numbers, not players names. If you're in 1, 2, or 22 you know exactly who I'm talking about.
Meanwhile it's a decent sized crowd all things considered
I don't understand the reason that the Devils are still doing the cost drive virtually. I really hope they aren't doing the food drive this way too.
