How old is too old to attend an NHL game?

[KevinRedkey]

It depends if the home team scores a goal or not. If they do, I'm not sure I'd be comfortable with the chances of survival for anyone over the age of 100.

I wouldn't bring any kids under 5 to a game, honestly.

I would say around 28. By then you should be focused on your career and family, not focused on a game that many children play. I've always felt it embarrassing for people when I watch games live on TV and I see actual adults in the stands without their kids with them. I'm not here to tell people here what they should do with their lives, but reconsider your life, values and where you'll be 10 years from now.

You are posting 7 minutes after a thread opened, during the middle of a workday. In the middle of the off season.

Can you really type that out seriously? It's not satire?

There should be an age limit on putting another man's name on your back.

What 28, lol

I hope that’s a joke.

No age limit, as long as youre not still buying into the this is our year, make some noise, we do it for the fans, narrative.

This question seems to have a word reversed. It should be how old is old enough to attend an NHL game.

Seniors have all the advantages for watching an NHL game:

1. Our ears are such that if we turn off our hearing aids, the noisiest times seem to be simply conversational level.
2. We have no responsibilities. We don't have to get up to go to work in the morning. Our time is our own. We have plenty of time to play (canasta, whist, carpet bowling) and watch others play.
3. If we've been careful through our lives, we have enough money to get into the arena and not too many years to worry about keeping it for.
4. We've seen many generations of hockey players so can compare the game of today with the good old days. (Of course nothing-not skating, shooting, fighting, passing or anything else matches the way it was in the good old days of the "original six" teams that we can just barely remember were not actually the original teams.)

You're never too old to go to an NHL game!




...but you never should. It's not that great. Couches are better.

After age 24, it’s time to move on from the NHL.

This is one of the dumbest things I have read on here.

When you get fed up of the constant "Let's make some noise" on the PA. So about 9 years old.

I get where you're coming from, since you used ''attend'' in the headline. North Americans love to attend ''the show'', while you eat and drink and try to get on camera. It's just another event for you, like going to a concert.

A few years ago during Military Appreciation Night the Avalanche wheeled out various armed forces members past and present to get a cheer. One of them was a guy who'd been in the air force during the war and was 100-odd. This old man, stood in the middle of an arena with lights and music and a cheering crowd and god knows what else barely able to lift his hand to acknowledge them. That old was too old.

I’m guessing that man fought for all of ours’ freedom in a world war, freedom which includes the ability to attend an NHL game at any f***ing age one chooses to. And for that I say thank you to him, his fellow soldiers and his generation who did so.

There have been a lot of bad takes on this site. But this is by far the worst. You should reconsider a few things.

professional sports are for children

When you need help going to the bathroom.

Almost the same answer as how young is too young to go to a game.

They must be playing rock music for somebody.

 

[EdzosCrayon]

Based on some of the veterans I've seen honored at games, there is no limit...and if there is, it's over 130

 

[SENStastic]

120

Honestly I think that's still a bit high. I'd be ok with 110.

Too old is when you can no longer evacuate.

Never too old, not even a 95 yo grandmother…

I like the decibels meter that isn't actually connected to anything.

I always imagine starting a sabotage campaign where everyone stays quiet the entire time that thing is on.
