Higher ticket prices
Narrower seats
More seats per row
Less leg room
Colder temps

It's like they are purposely going out of their way to get people to NOT want to go to games. What a weird business plan.

Don't forget the concessions and parking. Charlie sounds like they are some how not in control of any of the issues.

I'm done giving these people my money, I love the Bruins - I'll just do it from my family room.

Let's be honest, they've never had a good business plan. JJ relied on a die hard fan base who loved it's Bruins..

So that new ice plant didn’t work out, eh?

 

[HustleB]

Sounds like good news to me. Let’s see if the ice is better before I celebrate the victory.

 

[DKH]

I went to 2 preseason night games and wore shorts and it was cold inside - and I sat on the glass and ice looked very good

Someone can correct me if I'm wrong but I believe I read here that they didn't have time to install it this summer because of the short offseason combined with the new seats being put in

 

[TD Charlie]

With all the bodies in there i never had an issue with the temperature. It’s noticeably cooler at ice level, but the building always seemed warmer to me. Then again, i woke up this morning sweating with the living room being 59 degrees.

So all of us who complain about going to the game and watching the Bruins play on sloppy ice can now just chill?

[Mad Dr Pepper]

Well, that's a good thing! And for those complaining that it's too cold... I dunno. If I know that I'm going to watch ICE hockey, I wear warm clothes and live with it.

Better ice is better

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

They prefer to make excuses.

Spend the money.

 

[GoBs]

Did they increase capacity with the new seating arrangement?
Thanks

 

[Fenway]

Thanks

We will find out on Saturday

Wait so is this their fix for ice issues instead of installing the new ice plant? Or are they just saying that last year was made worse by the construction and it should be better this year before they put in the ice plant next year.

 

[BNHL]

Cold and cramped this year.

No, it'll be done after the deep playoffs.

 

[Spooner st]

Colder air is better for you. You should know that.

 

[Spooner st]

Well... 58 degrees is right in GeeWally's alley.

Think of the amount of say, going to three games this year.

• Two tickets
• Parking
• Food and Drink

Now think of the home theater system you could have applying that total dollar amount.

I took advantage of a pretty good offer from the Providence Bruins.

They had/have a package that included 2 tickets to the opener tomorrow night and 4 flex tickets, all in the 100's sections. Cost just under $17 a ticket.

Taking my son and a friend.

Tickets:$51

Parking: $7

Food:maybe $60ish

Total:Around $120 for the night..maybe a little more, call it $150

No, it's not NHL hockey, but they have plenty of good young players who will be at some point.

We'll have just as much fun.

Well sure. If you want to watch the P B's.

I get my live hockey fix and don't spend silly money. I've been to 100's of Bruins games, but I'm not doing it anymore.
