coldmachine Posted July 29, 2003 Share Posted July 29, 2003 I'm coming over with a small group from Ireland with a group of 2 Devils fans and 2 Toronto fans.What area should the away fans get tickets for?Sorry if this is a strange question to you but over here at soccer games fans cant mix due to rival fan violence.

sammyk Posted July 29, 2003 Share Posted July 29, 2003 You can sit anywhere you want. I don't think you'll have to worry about "rival fan violence" at this game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRASHER Posted July 29, 2003 Share Posted July 29, 2003 but just to be safe maybe you should leave the Leafs fans at home we do get enough of them who come down from Toronto, but as long as they are cool, the fans will be cool.. just don't drink too much !

coldmachine Posted July 29, 2003 Author Share Posted July 29, 2003 Sammy i hear what youre saying but I've heard the Devils posse are up for a bit of a rumble with the away mob. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRASHER Posted July 29, 2003 Share Posted July 29, 2003 It's not a fighting crowd, but if your guys are too loud they will get slapped down vocally ....I'd also avoid section 217 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coldmachine Posted July 29, 2003 Author Share Posted July 29, 2003 Crasher, what goes down in 217? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yah, but since you are two Devils fans and two Leafs fans, it should even out between yourselves. Instead of fighting with the crowd, you can fight with each others! Also, since you are coming from Ireland, I assume you are Irish and not Canadian? Drunk Leafs fans waving their Canadian pride can be a pain in the ass.

coldmachine Posted July 29, 2003 Author Share Posted July 29, 2003 we are a mix of Scots and Irish.Interesting when mixed with booze. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRASHER Posted July 29, 2003 Share Posted July 29, 2003 217 has just grown into the loud,rowdy, hellraising section that even began a "You FAT ... (you know the rest *l*)" chant at some drunken Ranger fan during the Devils-Sens playoff series....if your guys give them a hard time they will make life miserable for them... as they should mind you .... but if you're brining Leafs fans with ya.. just pick a diff section that's all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weekes Head Posted July 29, 2003 Share Posted July 29, 2003 That's the best section! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRASHER Posted July 29, 2003 Share Posted July 29, 2003 yeah it is for Devils fans.. I didn't want his buddies coming in across the ocean and getting eaten alive that's all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheeps Posted July 29, 2003 Share Posted July 29, 2003 217, 240-242 can get interesting. Even in the bad sections it won't be terrible. Last time I saw the Leafs I kept going back and forth with a couple of Leafs fans. Drove them out of the section (kind of, they probably had friends in a different section anyways). It was pretty amusing, I must say! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pepperkorn Posted July 29, 2003 Share Posted July 29, 2003 Nahhh they'd love 217! Devils fans are fun i find -- they're feisty but not violent. It's your Irish buddies I worry about! Nothing worse than an irishman forced to get pissdrunk on pisswater beer! nothing worse than a Scot forced to get pissdrunk on EXPENSIVE pisswater beer!

tarabelle99 Posted July 29, 2003 Share Posted July 29, 2003 HEY come on 217 is a nice bunch of guys, a little rowdy, yes, but they were always nice to me. They just didn't like the fat guy in the Graves #9 Rangers jersey, and that was because he started taunting them. He asked for what he got...

coldmachine Posted July 29, 2003 Author Share Posted July 29, 2003 As a Devils fan 217 sounds like the place for me.How do you specify what section you want?Ticketmaster doesnt seem to have this facility.Hopefully I'm wrong. The Bravehearts are coming stateside baby."looks like we didn't get dressed up for nothing" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sammyk Posted July 29, 2003 Share Posted July 29, 2003 You might have to call them to be that specific. I don't think you can do that online. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pepperkorn Posted July 29, 2003 Share Posted July 29, 2003 Speaking of Bravehearts...Stevens STILL kept Gump on his profile -- ADDED Braveheart but left GUMP! What did he do that just to ANNOY ME!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rock Posted July 29, 2003 Share Posted July 29, 2003 As a Devils fan 217 sounds like the place for me.How do you specify what section you want?Ticketmaster doesnt seem to have this facility.Hopefully I'm wrong.The Bravehearts are coming stateside baby."looks like we didn't get dressed up for nothing" If there are tickets available at the box office they show you a chart and you can specify what section. Since it's banner night I doubt you'll get that opportunity. To get the full flavor of the section you might want to sit towards the top if you can get the seats. That's where the leaders of the 217 usually stand, and the tickets are a little cheaper, though their "chants"(it's not to the level of Euopean soccer[i'll use the American word here] will carry throughout the whole arena it's a lot more clearer near 217.

point Posted July 29, 2003 Share Posted July 29, 2003 I was happy to see Section 217 get some recognition during the SCF. I wouldn't want to sit thgere myself, but they really inject spirit into the games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coldmachine Posted July 30, 2003 Author Share Posted July 30, 2003 suppose thats better than "toss a salad". BTW where is the BEST sports bar in NYC? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
section 110 Posted July 30, 2003 Share Posted July 30, 2003 "Best" is tough to define but if a tourist attraction is what you are after, check out the ESPN Zone on 42nd and Broadway. New Yorkers tend to go to the Park Avenue Country Club on 27th and Park Avenue South. That's where I would send you. info here: http://www.parkavenuecountryclub.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
