Hey - I come in peace - -
Been to a pile of CBJ games as a STH for several years but this is my first game in Vegas. Any ideas on the good stuff - the bad stuff, etc. of the arena, best seats, etc.. Just wondering if anyone has thoughts on how to maximize the fun we have at the game Friday. Planning to buy tickets on Stub Hub, but open to advice.
If you're visiting, I'm guessing you'll walk up, so there's no real traffic tips. If you're driving, use the back entrance off Sinatra. Other that that, there isn't a bad seat in the house. I prefer upstairs seats everywhere, so I'm usually upstairs. The concessions leave a little to be desired, but a quick trip to the main concourse gives you a lot more options. You can go up to the Hyde Lounge, but I think it's a cruddy place to watch a game if you've got a real seat.
Friday's going to be a weird game since it's so early, but the San Jose preseason game was the same time and wasn't too weird.
Hang out in the park post-game for a drink or two. There's two doors to every restroom, but the line only forms at one. Don't be the one to jump in the exit door.
Other than that, it's a normal new arena, nothing too quirky or any real secret spots.
