Hi Everybody.

We will be visiting from Denmark on Nov 8th against the Islanders.
Will there be any tailgating?

This is our first NHL game in Arizona.

Thanks

Regards,
Jesper

I haven't heard that they will discontinue the Saturday tailgates. I have heard references to it and it was pretty successful so I would plan on it.

Thanks for your reply.

We are from Denmark, as I wrote in my first post. We don't have tent, grill etc. Will we be able to join others, or can we buy food and beverages at the tailgate?

Sorry if my questions are stupid

No stupid questions ... it's only stupid if you don't know and you don't ask a question. Tailgating is a uniquely American thing anyway

There were food trucks at the tailgate this year that sold sandwiches / burgers / tacos for $4-$8 per person, and I thought they were pretty good. I don't think they sell beer out there, but there are many different bars at Westgate where you can get beers. My favorite is Yardhouse but the Jimmy Buffet Margaritaville bar is uniquely fun.

If you want the full experience (or you want to save some money), you can go to almost any gas station and buy a cheap cooler for $10 and fill it with ice for $1. A pack of 12 cans of beer (33cl each) will cost $12-$18 in Arizona, so everyone in your group can have all the beer they want for less than $40.

You will see people who bring food, cook their own food and bring skates / balls / hockey sticks, so do whatever you'd like.

We arrive in the states in October, and the first thing we do, is buying a cooler, we have done that every year. It's always nice to have cool drinks in the car.

We will buy some food there.

We can't wait to come over, and we can't wait to see danish players Mikkel Boedker and Frans Nielsen (Islanders) play.

Go Coyotes

One other thing - we speak Spanish in Arizona. We only post in English for our good friends in the Business of Hockey section. (Just kidding) If you pass my blue Volvo, please stop by and say hello. I've always wanted to visit Denmark. Your countrymen saved some of my family leading up to WW2.

We will look after the blue Volvo


Great jerseys the Swedes made.

Some tailgates were cool. They hired a band and sold beer but it was at stadium prices. I.e. expensive.

How much is a beer?

I think that it's cheaper than it is in Denmark. At the rink there my team plays, a beer, 0,4 L costs $10.

That's it jesperdenmark, you have to make one of these but with Boedker.

One for every member in your group that is...

I changed planes in Copenhagen once, that's as close as I've come to visiting Denmark. It's on my list though.

The standard stadium price here in Phoenix is that 0.7L (24 US ounces, to be specific... hey, we're America, we use American units) of beer costs US$10-11.50 depending on brand. Bud Light is $10, Heineken is $11.50, to give you an idea of our selection and price range.

Well then its nearly double the beer for the same cost here. I guess that's expensive beer you have

Everything here in Denmark is expensive.

Example:

Ford Mustang - $120.000 :-( :-(

If you can bring a bottle of Akvavit or a Rodovre Mighty Bulls hockey puck, I will give you a ride in my Mustang ... and if you guys drink enough at the tailgate, you will need a ride after the game
