Recap -
Traffic was awful for some people. We went to byb at 1130, stayed till 130, pulled right out into traffic and were parked with the section 328 lawn east entrance tailgate by like 215.
The truly pregame thing was a fleece. Lines long. Not allowed to carry in even a water bottle, (many discarded bottles at the gate) but you could buy water for $5. Lol.
Merch tents were total shit show. All I wanted was a damn puck. Line was probably 45 min long?
Getting in wasn't bad. We went all the way round to gate 9 and were inside in like 15 min or less. I heard several people say they got in without a ticket, including one guy sitting behind us.
View from 27 row I was freaking great. Thanks again
@andy500. These were damn near center ice. Many caps fans in attendance but they were vastly outnumbered by us.
Storm brews were like $13. More fleecing. Hot chocolate was 12 but you got a souviner cup.
We left the stadium as the fireworks went up. 5 - 7 Min to car, out the east main with zero traffic and gone.
After going to races for many years I anticipated the parking shit show with the stupid 2pm thing. That was comical.
Irritated at the Merch tents and rules. No cap for your bottle, and couldn't even buy 2 liquor drinks at a time. The felching was in full force. Great game though.
