Wings game yesterday

8 of us from LetsGoWings.com here in Socal made a group get-together of the Ducks/Wings game on Mar 1 at the Arrowhead Pond. I carpooled it up with a guy and his wife (guy orig. from the Detroit area, wife a Boston-area refugee and Red Wings convert) to the game. We first rendezvous'ed at a bar across the street from the Pond. When we got there around 5pm (face off at 7:30) the place was pretty packed and there must have been 50-60 RW jerseys in the place and maybe a couple of Ducks jerseys. That ratio didn't change at all while we were in the bar. We had dinner & a few beers at the bar and then headed over for the pre-game skate and then broke up to go to our seats. I was in section 406, which put me in the Wings attack zone for the 1st & 3rd period, in the left corner. The seat was really good. The Wings won the game 2-0!

The Arrowhead Pond is a great venue. Parking is a bit disorganized and when I went for a beer run after the 1st period, the concession stands were mobbed and they weren't going very fast at all, but they were OK otherwise. Prices weren't TOO high (beer was $6.25, pretzels $3, churro was $3).

I had a blast and I'm glad I got to meet some of the other Wing Nuts here in Socal.
