Anyone thinking of going to Hershey to see WBS?

Post by Pops16 »

i was just thinking about taking a little trip. I think it is about 4 hours. Seats are about 20 bucks. Anyone ever go before and I'd like to know if it is worth it?

I was at the old place but not the new place. Be sure to let us know how it is, sounds like a fun trip.

The Giant Center is very nice. It's like a smaller version of DC's Verizon Center.

If the schedule wasn't Sunday, Tuesday, Sunday we'd probably make the trip up and crash at LunchMan's place. :wink:

I ordered two tix for the Tuesday game this morning. I live a little over an hour from the Giant Ctr so it's all good. Two lower bowl seats in the end the Pens shoot at twice for $50.

I'll be there too. I guess Pgh jerseys will have to be just as good as WBS jerseys for support in Hershey. Just so they're black and gold I guess, eh? Anything to see playoff hockey.

i'm going to Saturday's game - 25 bucks for center ice tickets on the glass...

I went to a playoff game last year (the one game that we won against Philly) - I highly recommend it. The atmosphere is awesome, and you'll be seeing some great hockey. Colby scored two goals at the game I was at last year.
