MadDog2020 Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 Well.... That was..... GLORIOUS. I'll be doing it again next time, and with a group. Man, real Rangers fans have TOTALLY been priced out of their arena, didn't see one really diehard fan until after the game. So tame, and the atmosphere is quiet, even after a goal. What a mausoleum, quiet as sh!t for most of the game, even when they were outplaying us. The price increases and seat layout changes over the past few years has totally changed the demographic of that sh!thole. Rofl. I barely even heard any Maaarty chants tonight, I was surprised. It was great to hear some Let's Go Devils chants on TV and loud cheers after all 3 goals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both Carter goals were pretty soft by Lundqvist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ Eco Posted November 13, 2013 Author Share Posted November 13, 2013 (edited) The place was louder when the Devils scored tonight. lol How many Devils fans were there? It's hard to guess because they were so scattered. For example I was only with my girlfriend, and I saw a lot of people in 2's or 3's MAX... Not like when they come to our arena (usually in groups, get a whole row off StubHub, etc.)... But there were a lot, I'd say about 10-15%, which is a step up from previous years..

thecoffeecake Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 I can't even afford tickets at the Rock anymore. If they didn't pay me to go to the Devils Flyers games in Philly, I wouldn't have seen anything yet this season. Props to the fans that showed up, though. Larger than usual Devils group in that hell hole. Place got loud when the Devils scored. I heard a LGD once in like the 2nd, Rangers fans had to boo it out. And if you're going to represent our organization on the road, you better be loud. No worrying about opposing fans, fvck them. I siht on Flyers fans every time I go there. I get a few dirty looks, but it's all hype. I always get that one lady calling me an asshloe as they leave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The 29th Pick Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 The place was louder when the Devils scored tonight. lol How many Devils fans were there? What's sad is that new Yankee Stadium is a beautiful ballpark. What sucks about it is that the acoustics aren't as good as the old place. So the crowd noise just isn't the same. The upper deck isn't as steep and the RF porch isn't as close to the field. Also the obstructed views in CF suck. Overall though it still a nice ballpark. But the atmosphere is terrible. As a Yankees fan, it hurts to hear the place so quiet all the time. I'm a Yankee fan too, but do not like the new stadium for a bunch of reasons...........last year I went to City Field to catch a Mets game and liked it better than Yankee Stadium Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJ Eco Posted November 13, 2013 Author Share Posted November 13, 2013 There were a few crazy groups of Devils fans in the lower bowl believe it or not, I guess those were the only tickets available on short notice. I think a big group in the lower section behind the Devils shoot twice net started it all 3 times and my girlfriend and I of course joined in.

2ELIAS6 Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 Sure was great, wasn't it? its nice to see finally.. i feel like it was always them coming in and swarming our arena yet over in theres there were not nearly as much red as there would be blue in ours Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rangers fans themselves can't afford MSG and don't go to too many games. But my girlfriend and I decided late on Monday night, "F it, let's get tickets", and the best deal we could find was $70 on StubHub. Rangers fans my age can't spend that kinda money 4-5 times a month, or however many home games there are in a particular month, so they come to The Rock, where even a high demand Devils-Rangers game will have some $40-50 seats on StubHub a few days before. I'm realizing the amount of Rangers fans that come to our arena is more a consequence of MSG pricing them out and not much to do with us or our building. I didn't see any of the young douchebags at MSG that usually come to The Rock. It was so corporate, my head was spinning.

JerryTown95 Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 Wow, the rock is way better than MSG as far as sight lines go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck the Duck Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 Wow, the rock is way better than MSG as far as sight lines go Does MSG stil have the problem where you can barely see the players on the near side boards because the stands are raised up too high? I figured they would fix that problem when they did the renovations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The 29th Pick Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 one thing I liked about last nights game (besides the score) was that MSG network didnt do a single thing about the "new" MSG arena during the Devil game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the area I was sitting in was pretty nice, wasn't a nosebleed. Edited November 13, 2013 by DJ Eco Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched highlights from the Rags feed, and it seriously sounded like a home game for the Devils when Zubrus scored. But the Devils feed seemed quiet.

I can honestly remember going there in the early '90's with my white Jersey on, being refused service in a bar right outside the arena (think they were part of MSG) because of wearing it, and seeing literally 1 other Devs jersey there. Love to see the outpouring. And heard the Devs fan on the Ranger feed. Nice job by all that went.

DJ Eco Posted November 14, 2013 Author Share Posted November 14, 2013 So if you take the number of people wearing red and combine them with the people wearing suits, how many people were wearing blue? lol About 20% of the arena. It blows my mind how few people were in Rangers jerseys. I used to joke with my Rags friends about that, based on what I saw in the lower bowl, but damn, it's everywhere. My girlfriend and I couldn't get over how few people were in a regular blue Rangers jersey, not a hoodie, not a sweatshirt, not a black t-shirt with the logo, not a suit, but a jersey... Not sure what the reasoning is?... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
