From the little snippet Adam Gold released last night, he said about 6 months ago that Dundon had been told it would be either the Caps or the Pens. Things can change, but those are probably safe bets still.
I hope that too, but I have a feeling that the powers that be at the NHL will pick them because they feel that the Canes alone wouldn't be able to attract viewers. Since the Pens are the team in the NHL.I really hope it's not the pens
Can't believe all the bellyaching out there from fans of other teams about us getting the game. Dragging out the tired attendance stats, broke jokes and ignorant hockey fan memes again. They must keep them at the ready for any positive press we receive. Anything that happens with our team seems to be so polarizing. Isn't success here good for the league overall?
I wonder how ticket sales will be conducted. I assume it's not just going to be done just like an average game. Like if the league will be alloted a certain amount of tickets, the opposing team STH, etc.
Also, parking/traffic for some events (non NCSU football) at C-F has been a nightmare. Like the 2009 U2 concert. Better make sure that's shored up.

Your daily moment of affirmation
The city of Raleigh will host an NHL outdoor game before the city of Montreal
It’s going to be the largest tailgate scene of any hockey game before.I was there in 2011 for the All Star Game and the atmosphere was exceptional through the entire city, from downtown and the convention center to the parking lot in to RBC/PNC. If it’s anything like that for this no one will say any more nonsense about Raleigh not being a hockey market, and I know it’ll be even better. Over/under on the smokers in the parking lot? I’ll bring the hush puppies.
I was wondering for not full year STMs if this game would be required in the package like the home opener is? I imagine most would want it anyway, but you never know I guess.When I inquired about tickets, it definitely made it seem like STHs would get priority
Probably just like playoff tickets.I was wondering for not full year STMs if this game would be required in the package like the home opener is? I imagine most would want it anyway, but you never know I guess.
Probably just like playoff tickets.
Full STM get first priority
Half STM get next
10 game STM get next priority
Then anything left gets released to the general public
I'm going to guess that a lot of STM will buy more tickets to this game then they get in their STM packages.It would seem they are doing the above, plus tenure-based priority within the STM groups (15+ years, 10+ years, 5+ years).
I mean we are talking about a 50,000 seat stadium here... there will be plenty to go around.

I'm hoping that there are some for non-STMs. Hoping to come along, been a while now since my last trip!
