Since the loss to Nashville December 9, we are 5-0-1 at home, outscoring our opponents 20-11.
Overall since then we have the 3rd best winning %, the lowest GAA, the 4th best PP, and the 4th best faceoff %.

Change the thread title to UBS Arena: Fort Win Some Lose Some.
The renovation of Belmont Park continues. Has no bearing on hockey or UBS Arena. Just another component of the overall project.

Hey all!
Going to my first game at UBS Arena today with the lady. I know about the parking situation but, inside the arena, anyone have some tips on best locations for food / drinks? Should be getting to the arena around 01:30 or so ideally so I'll have some time to walk the grounds, freeze, and then go inside and walk around

It’ll probably be fairly crowded at 1:30 for a 2pm start. Maybe get in a little earlier to avoid some lines. There are bars all around so drinks no problem. For food, I’ve only had the bbq and big chicken so far. Food was OK, expensive and not big portions. Seems like there’s burgers and pizza, usual fare, at many locations throughout. Also, apparently it’s a cashless arena. I could buy 50-50 tickets with cash but can’t buy an $8 bottle of water without a card. :shrug:

Impressions from my first visit today:
Emerald lot wasn’t too bad. The wait for the shuttle wasn’t very long. We got out of the lot and onto the Cross Island south in less than 10 minutes after the game.
It is awfully nice walking around a concourse without having to penguin walk through people. Grabbed a burger which was decent. Lines weren’t bad at all.
Now if the team just didn’t completely shit the bed it would’ve been an even better time.

Yes, all you need to do is show your Amex card, it's supposed to be themed be like a speakeasy. it is a nice place to sit have a drink and some conversation for a bit.
Anyone know where ubers generally drop off and pick up? I am assuming it would be a less of walk from the emerald or south lot

Parked in Emerald right near the booths. Walked to lot after game. On the Cross Island in under 5 min.
Food sucked and was a total rip off. Will tailgate or hit a local eatery on the way in from here on out.

I don't think any of the food or drink in the local arenas are going to be worth the price you paid. I typically bring a few beers and a hero and tailgate for a little bit before the game.
