The_Admiral Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 If I'm not mistaken, it's a pretty bare-bones building relative to its contemporaries, isn't it? It'll probably be somewhat easy to gut and repurpose. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Admiral Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 I don't think you should take a six-month-old to a hockey game, but if you have to, you shouldn't have to pay for his or her ticket. "BABY MUST PAY" turns out to be very fun to say. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sport Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 I went to Consol Energy Center for the first time on Sunday. I was very tempted to wipe a booger on this Stanley Cup champions sign, but I decided I've grown too old for such shenanigans any more. Nice Arena, but being as objective as I can and trying to look at both from an unbiased perspective I still like Nationwide Arena better. Nationwide's seating is visually more interesting. The concourses are wider, more ceiling height, and it's more clear how to get around to the different levels. The one thing I like better about Pittsburgh's is what would be the view of the playing surface is visible from anywhere in the upper deck concourse and not walled off, which means there's no upper deck tunnels. You start at the top of the bowl and walk down which means you don't have goober knuckleheads walking out of the tunnel and standing in front of you while they look upwards, mouth agape, searching for their seats.

The_Admiral Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 Carey Price coming back will make the Habs much better, but the improvement in going from AHL goalie to arguable best goalie in the world will still be attributed to Shea Weber's dressing-room presence. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The outdoor games are run by the NHL, not by the teams. The teams probably all have their individual policies still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex Houston Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 I wonder if we're going to have any Kaepernicks in the 300 section when the Hawks do their whole anthem cheering bit.

The_Admiral Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 Not likely, but I'd expect a Committed Indian rant about how terrible Hawks fans are for cheering through the anthem, or standing quietly through the anthem, or existing through the anthem. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sport Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 I've always wondered if people had to buy a ticket for the baby. In all the sports I think I'd only take a baby to a baseball game and that's if it's a sparsely attended day game in the middle of the season. I'm not carrying my infant around game 5 of the NLDS. I'd wait until the kid is 4 or 5 for hockey. I wouldn't take anyone under the age of 16 to an NFL game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, some of us have different priorities. All I was saying was that if you've made the decision to be a parent, the kid's needs should come first.
