How old is too old to attend an NHL game?

[Nathaniel Skywalker]

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.

So its better to have 15,000 posts on an nhl forum instead of going to a live game? Maybe the worst post I have ever seen.

Ask @Gee Wally that'll give us a ceiling.

I think there should be no limits whatsoever. But as you age, things get to be more of a hassle.

So, I think all of you who are too young to have seen a live game before helmets were made mandatory should stay away and wait your turn. Leave some room, space, and good seats for us old types.

You can start going to games again once we kick off/shuffle off this mortal coil, and the new limit is those of you left that are old enough to have seen games live with just one ref.

Seems fair. Everyone gets a turn. More space for everyone.

When you spend more time at a urinal than in your seat.

Probably 97.

When you hit 60 you should go to afternoon gatherings only, unless you’re a grandparent of a performer.

Until they have to carry you into your seat and carry you out. I mean at that point it just becomes a bit of a problem for everyone involved.

Do you happen to wear an ankle bracelet and think everyone else should as well.

I had to be carried out when I was 25, but not so much now.

But in all honesty, around 30ish you’ll start to not to care about muti-millionaires slapping a puck around.

 

[Voight]

Lou Lams is 81 years old and still attending games so.

 

[AD16]

What kind of stupid ass thread is this and why is it still open. One of the dumbest questions ever asked on this board

 

[Bleedred]

Well that's only because he's actually focused on his career, which going to games is part of!

I read this as sarcasm.

 

[Senor Catface]

Can a mod force DearDiary to come back and explain he was being sarcastic.

 

[HeadLiceHatty]

This thread is strange, I’m sure many people have kids here, taking your boy to a ball game or a hockey game is one of life’s greatest joys, no age limit what so ever.

 

[holy]

100?

 

[Xelebes]

You're too old if you think you can't hold yourself up in a rink riot, stampede, or crush at the doors.

 

[waitin425]

There is no age limit. There might be some of the stupidest takes I have ever seen in my life on here.

 

[The Jerk Store]

Dead plus about five or so.

You're too blue-eyed and optimistic.

Sarcasm one would hope.

As long as the person is safe and responsible, then the older the better. Seeing clear lifelong fans at games is inspiring. It is important to have a few escapes from routine.

Damn. Life ain’t that serious man.

You’re on a hockey fan website, spending time in the summer writing about a sport you’d be embarrassed to go watch without kids.

Maybe poster never came back, because wasn’t being sarcastic.

Never to old, to pull a weekend at Bernie’s
