Pre-Game Talk: Official Home Opener attendance Thread

[NJDevs26]

I was sort of tempted to go to the red carpet thing since it's a weekend but I don't feel like getting there 11, standing around for an hour and killing two hours before the game in Newark after, so I'll just be at the game.

I'm really torn on whether or not to pick up a Nico Adidas jersey. I'm absolutely getting an I Love to Hockey shirt if they have them.

I'm absolutely planning on getting a Nico Adidas jersey, hopefully it's not a pain as home openers tend to be the most hectic. I'm thinking if I get there early enough, I'll be fine.

I just hate that ugly jersey so much

Get the player t shirt, that's what I'm getting today if they have them.

Tickets are scarce on TM and trending higher priced on stub hub.

The best deals will be found in person at Champ Plaza via the scalpers, cash of course.

I understand why some don't like it. I really don't mind it as much as others do, especially the white ones, so I'm going for one of those.

They had plenty in the preseason, but I know people raid the store on the home opener.

In the main Devils Den store I assume? I looked between the clubs that always had the jerseys on the laundromat mover and they never had any, I just never made it to the big store yet, I plan on doing that today.

Yep, the only player shirts they had were of the newbies that I can recall. (Nico, Mojo, Boyle)

Part of me realizes that I can't deny that this will be part of their history, and that makes me kinda want one even if I don't like it.

Lets see how NJTransit f***s shit up today

 

[TheUnseenHand]

I feel like I recently read that one of the parking lots closed, or became a park or something. Which one is it? We always take McCarter to Lafayette and park in that lot. That's still there, right?

You'll see me in a Rangers jersey before you see me in one of these Adidas abominations.

That I'd just prefer looking for in a sporting goods store for $20-22 rather than paying $27-30 at the arena afair.

 

[Zajacs Bowl Cut]

the player shirts are at least $25 on most of the athletic store sites, too sadly

The one you used might have been torn up for the park, but there are two new ones in the area you're thinking about: one at the corner of McCarter and Lafayette and the other at the corner of Mulberry and Edison. Both are Edison Parkfast lots with the black and yellow signage.

There's also the huge lot across from the practice rink on Lafayette that may be a closer walk if you're fine using the entrance by the Marty statue.

Shorts or jeans today?

It's going to be in the 80s out, but we're going to be at a hockey game. Tough decision.

Upper bowl or lower bowl? You might need pants in the lower bowl, but should probably be fine with shorts otherwise.

I’m in shorts and sitting downstairs. It’s very hot here in Newark. Left the red carpet after a few minutes because the sun just beats off the side of the Edison ale house wall and cooks the plaza.

Going in sweats cause I am sitting in the lower bowl pretty close to the glass, upper if gonshorts though

 

[Emperoreddy]

And the hand-wringing was all for nothing. The place was loud, packed, and clearly the fanbase is really excited for Nico and the young guns.

 

[ChicoEatsNachos]

The atmosphere was amazing! So, so, happy I went

[Zajacs Bowl Cut]

so the StudentRush ticket upgrade thing wasn't worth it at all if you already had tickets. The upgrades were at minimum $55/each (to sit downstairs)

It was certainly worth it if you didnt have tix though. They had $50 lowers.

 

[TheUnseenHand]

The scoreboard is incredible.
