BTJ reader attends Wings game

Last month, David M. won two tickets to see the Wings-Kings game last Thursday courtesy of BTJ (and my parents who donated their season ticket seats for the contest). Unfortunately for David, the Wings lost 3-5 but it sounds like he still had a good time at the Joe. I asked David to send along a few photos and notes about the game so here you go:

The promo’s run by the Wings were entertaining. It was 80’s night and I think everyone enjoyed the 80’s music trivia. (although I mistakenly thought it was Tiffany not Madonna on the last question).

The view of the game was great. I am impressed for an older building that the sight lines are good from wherever you are sitting. Despite the history of the Joe, I am surprised that there hasn’t been a push to upgrade/build a new arena. There appear to be few luxury boxes and the restaurant choices are limited.

Overall I am still impressed with Hockeytown’s fans. I didn’t think the game would have a full crowd based on it being a Thursday night and with the Kings being the 15th place team in the Western Conference. However the crowd had lots of energy and it was an enjoyable game overall.
