This past Thursday I went to the Penguins vs Avalanche game in Pittsburgh with a couple of guys from work. What made this game extra special was that I had seats right on the glass. I made sure to arrive early enough to get the full experience and grab some pictures.
The coolest aspect of the game was during the warmups when a puck fell right at my feet. Makes for a pretty cool souvenir. Maybe if I play my cards right I can get it autographed at some point. The interesting thing is the pucks says "official warmup puck." I'll try and post a pick tomorrow as the picture I had saved on my phone was too blurry.
As for the game the Pens won 4-3. The Avalanche made a couple of huge errors in their own zone that cost them a couple goals which ultimately lead to the loss.
Check out the pics...
Awesome seats! Hockey is so much better in person.
ReplyDeleteI agree. The speed of the game is incredible live.
DeleteThose are some sweet seats.
ReplyDeleteThanks! Ticket prices are finally becoming affordable for the Pens.
DeleteWow! Fantastic seats Nice pics.
ReplyDeleteIt was a great experience. My first time sitting on the glass.
DeleteDid you get anyone slammed into the glass right in front of you? And, if so, did you react accordingly and pound the glass right back at them?
ReplyDeleteThe guy sitting next to me did enough pounding for everyone in the row.
DeleteI only ever sat against the glass at a minor league game, also tons of fun. Great seats, looks like a fun time!
ReplyDeleteIt was pricey, but not near as bad as it use to be. I would do it again if the opportunity presents itself.
DeleteI sat six rows behind the goal at a DU Pioneers game once, but never anything like this!
ReplyDeleteIt is worth it if you get the chance. I just waited around until the day before the game and found the tickets on the Penguins ticket exchange site.
