For the people who go for more then just the game

[Two or less]

I remember somebody said the food was still terrible after the first pre-season game. Well, that dude was right. My opinion still stays the same, but i believe Eleven said it was same old stuff just new paint jobs, was spot on, because they introduced new food items today.

 

[Two or less]

ps. I apologize for arguing with the poster, because i said he still complains about the food. He knows his food well, and knew it was same old stuff. haha

[Weave]

The placard on the easel in pic #2 appears to me to say that the displayed food is for the 200 level concessions. I hope that doesn't mean that the non Chet and Muffy types are stuck with the same mediocre food.

[korab rules]

Looks like the dogs, pizza, chicken parm and steak sandwich will be available on the 300 level, the rest seems reserved for the harbor club.

Ooooh blue moon in a can, and Flying Bison bottles. I wonder if FB will be on tap?

 

Also, really want those chili dogs. Like, now.

[spndnchz]

They had big cans of Rolling Rock last game. Anyone try this beer? Is it any good?

Very lightly flavored lager. Meh.

 

But I'm prolly not the one you want to ask. I'd like to see them offer Lagunitas Hairy Eyeball on draft.

Rolling rock is swill - from the Latrobe brewery near Pittsburgh. Its now being marketed as a regional craft beer. :w00t:

Rolling Rock sucks. All the hipsters in Austin drank that swill. Gave me headaches.

Apparently rolling rock used to be the party beer of choice at Fredonia in the 70s, according to stories my father tells. They used to come in little half pint bottles didn't they? I think my mom liked those.

Thanks for the feedback. Keep it coming everyone.

 

The Pittsburgh - Black connection prolly has something to do with it aye?

I remember drinking some Rolling Rocks in Fredonia back in the late 80's. Yes, it is indeed swill.

 

That's a mighty thick crust on that 'za. Ravioli looks pretty good though.

It is now in the Budweiser family of products.

 

It isn't made it hasn't been made in PA in some time IIRC.

yes, it came in splits - tasted bad in those, too.

When I was in Reading, UK, the two American beers they had in bottles at a lot of places were Budweiser and Rolling Rock. I couldn't figure it out until someone told me companies generally export the beer they can't sell in their own country. After thinking about it, I *very* rarely saw Bass in England. Guinness, however, was everywhere but not the same as Guinness in the US.

The beer that made Latrobe famous. Basically took all the lighter stuff from the Pennzoil refinery and put a head on it. :sick:

Can't say for certain where its made, but says latrobe brewery on the bottle last I looked. Maybe they named there brewery in missouri latrobe.

Never been a fan of Guinness stateside. Over in Ireland, it was great on tap.

[spndnchz]

OK. No Rolling Rock then.

 

FWIW. It was at the stand with all the Budweiser's.

The 22 year old kids on my hockey team drink rolling rock all the time. After our last game of the season, I bought a 30 pack for them. They thanked me by not drinking me and leaving me with a fridge full of it. That was a miserable month. They looked like sprite cans, so I just pretended that's what it was.

Let me take the contarian view. I go for the game.

 

If others go for other reasons, ok.

 

I like high quality concessions, and I do not mind paying a premium for them in the arena. Still, I do not like to feel gouged. Way below average pizza for $5 a slice. American light lager for $6 a (12 0z) bottle. Double price, ok, but this is 3 or 4 or 5 times the retail price. Parking is out of sight.

 

Some stuff really p#ssises me off:

 

During stoppages the playing of music so loud that you cannot even converse with your neighbors. At my local arena (RBC Center in Raleigh) the music is so loud you cannot make a cell phone call during intermission...and I'm talking about the concourse, not inside the bowl.

 

Ric Flair? Woooooo? WTF? A 62 year old non athlete never was? WTF squared!

 

I do not mind some of the silly stuff but I do not need to be entertained every second. Play hockey, and hopefully play it well. If the hockey is good I will leave entertained. Happier if my team wins, ok if not.

 

Bottom line: I now like hockey better on HDTV than in person. I can get Hurricanes/Sabres tickets if I want them but have not been to a game in 5 or 6 years... and I was a Sabres season ticket holder from the early 80s until '94 when I relocated to NC.

That was 1 nice thing about the Mmarena the last 2 years. The pizza was $3/ large slice and was nearly average quality. Considering it was rink food and 4 chicken fingers and fries were ~$7.50, it was a bargain.

Rolling Rock is garbage.

 

Blue Moon is overrated beer for hipsters.
