2014 Ducks vs. Kings Stadium Series Game

[LBHalos17]

Thank gawd I was saved from over-spending for this game, by having to go play the Dirtbags Alumni Game...  It would be nice to go to, but I went to the first-ever outdoor game with some pals way back so I'm at peace with it and will be happy to watch it at the bar.

 

Hope everybody who's going doesn't freeze to death out there in the elements.

[TooCool]

I'm not going. I don't care if it's outdoors and "once in a lifetime". For a regular season game, I can justify paying 5-7 times more than I normally pay for one game at Staples with my season seats. I was hoping the prices would drop below 90 on Stubhub, so the scaplers would learn their lesson.. but it never went lower than 110. *Shrug*

 

With that said, I'm already jealous and annoyed with all the Stadium Series pictures plastered all over my facebook. But hey, what can ya do?

[Punk]

I just bought tickets...

 

for a Ducks vs Kings game at Staples Center.

Have fun today guys.

I am watching practice at Yankee Stadium, and it is a great atmosphere.

Can't wait. We have two outdoor hockey games and a Super Bowl in one week.

No ARod on the helmet? I'm disappoint.

Those of you who aren't here ****ing missed out. This is AMAZING!!!

[Tank]

KISS for the opening act is an embarrassment.  They are NY people and sell outs.  Way to whore yourselves out, NBC.

[Spirit]

I agree with Nate, KISS is amazing!  Great job by them tonight and major kudos to NBC and the NHL for getting them on board!

Just occurred to me, the last time I was at Dodger Stadium was to see KISS.  Halloween night, 1998.  Smashing Pumpkins opened.  Great night!

[Spirit]

BTW ... the Ducks are dominating this game!

I was there too... as a 16 year old.

[nate]

Seriously though, I was there.  It was their first appearance in a long time.  Right around Halloween.

[Spirit]

I believe you!  It kicked off their Psycho Circus tour.  First album with the original members in about 20 years.  Also, the last album with the original 4.

Hiller and the Ducks absolutely dominate Slow and the Queens.  Ducks win the biggest game of the year so far.  Love it!

[deepdrive]

All that remains now is for you guys to get out of the parking lot safely.

[Brandon]

Weird game. Ducks looked the dominate team, but you wouldn't know looking at the stats.

 

Watched at the pub and sitting next to a dude it turns out we played in the same high school hockey league over 15 years ago. Game brings peeps together.

Can we get a report from someone who attended the Dodger Stadium game?  How were the sight lines?  I imagine the atmosphere was great but am wondering if you ended up watching most of the game on the big screen because you couldn't see the action from your seats........?

 

What was the smaller rink around the infield? Looks like a pool --- was it a practice skate rink or something?

 

Kings scoring woes continue -- get shut out at Dodger Stadium........Hiller strikes 'em out, walks none........

[HaloCory22]

The sight lines were just fine for me. I was on the loge section just left of center ice. It wasn't as far out as I thought it would be. I walked around the stadium level to see the views from different perspectives. Being behind the goals probably was the best overall view. The game was actually on a slight delay on the big screens so that really wasn't an option for viewing. A few times I was saying "who the hell is on the ice?" but then quickly was able to pick up their numbers. The entire opening ceremony was awesome though. Bob and Vin narrating it and the teams walking in side by side from the outfield. Unbelievable.  The little rink on top of home plate was a roller rink kids were playing during the intermission. I honestly think if you were sitting anywhere besides the field level it was a good sight. Even the OF seats were still high enough to get a decent view. I really hope they bring it back next year or soon. Take it to Angel Stadium or the Rose Bowl/Coliseum. The place was PACKED. People were worried about it not selling out but it did. It was loud, fun, and just a totally unique experience.

The one around home plate was supposed to be an inline staking rink.  But when I saw it used on the tube, it looked like they were going the lazy uncoordinated route, and it was kids with hockey sticks running around.

Take it to Angel Stadium or the Rose Bowl/Coliseum. 

 

My gut tells me.  Next California site will be whatever stadium it is called in SF.  Hockey in the bay would be up there with Hockey on the Beach in Santa Monica.

[Brandon]

I didn't like any of the pics my friends took, as far as viewing.

 

They need to do Anaheim next year just so peopl can enter and exit with more than one option. Dodger Stadium parking on that arroyo is beyond terrible.
