I'm creating this thread for everyone who will be going to watch Game 1 at Maple Leaf Square. I'll be going and updating this thread with information and photos when I get down there. I'll provide updates on how crowded it's getting and when they reach capacity. Looks like I'll be going solo tonight so if anyone wants to meet up down there and chat before the game, send me a DM or reply in this thread. Maybe we can get a little HFboards group together.
I'm planning on arriving between 5:00 and 5:30. Hard to know how popular it will be, but I'm afraid that if I arrive any later, they will be at capacity. For those of you who don't know, they serve beer and pizza inside. They also have porta potties. The TV and sound is pretty good quality. You must enter through a security checkpoint where they check your bags and use metal detecting wands or pat downs.
Weather looks like it will actually be pretty good tonight. Supposed to stop raining and should be around 10 degrees for most of the game. That being said, I would still dress warm because it can get cold standing outside for that long.
I was there for I think 3 or 4 games during the first Boston series (including game 7) and once during the Washington series. It's really a lot of fun. If you're on the fence, I would highly recommend coming for Game 1. As the weather gets better and we go deeper into the playoffs, it's going to be super popular down there and you'll have to show up ridiculously early in order to get a spot in the main area.
