DevsMan84 Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 After going to the one for game 5 and being served mostly cold hot dogs, stale pretzels and popcorn, and having them still charge me $9 for a beer then no thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJDevs4978 Posted April 25, 2012 Author Share Posted April 25, 2012 If the start time is 8 like it's been rumored you'll have plenty of time to eat and drink before you get there, or before the food there gets cold/runs out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The biggest reason to go is for food and drink. Watching the game on the scoreboard was brutal and watching it on the TV's in the restaurant defeated the point of going.

Satans Hockey Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 I like the fact that they are doing this but ill be watching from home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LMAO I like the fact that they are doing this but ill be watching from home. I like this idea and if it does catch on, would like a full prudential center for away playoff games. Like other teams have done mainly canadien teams because the interest is much higher up there. I doubt it would catch on like that............... I would definitley treat it as going to a home game. eat and drink before hand and then go in and watch game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevsMan84 Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 ...but our scoreboard is supposed to be one of the best in the league, state of the art.... LMAO Compared to other scoreboards its pretty good. However, even with the good screen it is like watching the game on a 32" HDTV in a living room that is 40 feet long and you are at one end and the tv is at the other.

RayT Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 I would have to agree with DevsMan... I think its a great idea but with a majority of people having large HDTVs in their homes I find it hard to find a reason to leave my couch for anything other then a home game lol.

ghdi Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 I wish they were doing something at Texas Arizona again. I cant bear the Rock and their prices when you can go to a better place with better food. It also seems weird going to watch a game in the arena on TV.

roomtemp Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 I watched 3 games at my house and 3 at my cousin's house. They won all 3 when I stayed home... no way in hell I'm going anywhere now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJDevs4978 Posted April 25, 2012 Author Share Posted April 25, 2012 Funny how if they did this in Canada or other markets they could fill the building and then some, but do it here and it's one complaint after another over what's basically a free event to attend, other than a lousy couple bucks to split parking with another person. And yes, I wouldn't blame people for not showing up because of the game time, that's brutal. But complaining about most of the other stuff is silly.

However the event while a nice guesture was kinda put together half-assed. They are selling this as a "contest" with 100 winners. These "winners" should then get something other than stale food and a sales pitch for discounted lower and club seats for the playoffs. If this was held in Canada, they would just tell everyone to come on down and not make a contest and just fill the arena. The team would not have to deliver on any promises as there would be no promises made. Again it was not bad, just a little disappointing.

NJDevs4978 Posted April 25, 2012 Author Share Posted April 25, 2012 (edited) The Games 1 and 5 ones were contests, this one is open to all who RSVP. And I went to the Game 1 one, the ziti was fine and the hot dogs were a bit better than the dollar dogs at the arena. Plus they gave away extra posters from Fan Appreciation Night.

It's an 8:30 start. That's just brutal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that is the case then I am in the wrong. I went to the one for game 5 and didnt get ziti. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJDevs4978 Posted April 25, 2012 Author Share Posted April 25, 2012 Ah...the Game 5 one did seem a little quick given they only put a link to sign up 24 hours before the game. The food isn't free at this one though, just discounted. That's why I specified free to attend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

devilsrule33 Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 (edited) Senators are doing it right for a game 7 viewing at their arena tomorrow night. Edited April 26, 2012 by devilsrule33 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satans Hockey Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 Now if I knew the Devils were doing what Ottawa was doing I'd be a lot more interested in going. It's pretty easy to lower those things too so the Devils could do it for tomorrow night if they wanted to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
