have you been to the Igoo, PPG/Paints/Consol/Energy center, both or never been to a home game?
Been to both. When I was a kid we would go to a game as a family at the Igloo and i'd be in awe of Lemieux. SCF experiences are beyond anything i've ever witnessed before. They have a level of energy that is not explainable. And I was there on Sid's hat trick on hat night.
Also played in both the Igloo/Consol. Mellon's ice was way better but it was a terribly disgusting place.
Scratched it off my bucket list when I went to the Montreal game in Pittsburgh. I been in front of the Igloo but never been inside.Still something that is on my to do list before I die!!!
See them every game in Montreal, and I've seen them in Ottawa and Toronto
If Quebec gets a team will definitely go there as well
I would not only go to Pittsburgh, but a road trip to Tampa/Florida is also something I would love to do
Wife mentioned going back to Vegas, so I will plan that one
Real question is if you played at the War Memorial because that is the grossest rink.
I remember going to a tournament there after 9/11 and at the rink they had Bin Laden posters up with gun sights on him saying WANTED.
Also, bought my first Synergy stick there with like a year worth of savings from my paper route. Didn’t help my shot.. maybe it was the Lidstrom blade..
~120 games at the Igloo; 6 or 7 at the paint can.
No playoff games at either, though. That's what I get for the extreme majority of the games I've been to coming in that 2001-06 window.
First game: November 28, 1995 Penguins 7 Senators 2...Naslund hat trick; Jags & Mario each had 3 point nights.
My first experience at the Igloo was Aladdin on Ice
That does mean I got to see the roof 'open', at least.
Wow.. I can honestly say i've never seen the roof open outside of pictures. That is a cool experience. They always claimed it was too expensive.
I saw my first game at the Civic Arena in the late 1970's, and have been to the paint bucket about five times. I saw the pens play Vancouver in November. I've seen the pens play in Los Angeles before, and was at the Pens vs Ducks game in Anaheim this past season.
