I went for the first time last night and while I thought it was an ok experience, there’s zero chance I’d experience another.
Sitting Row 9 on the bench side, you couldn’t see the ice at all. I spent the entire time watching the big screen. They probably shouldn’t sell seats below row 30 if you want to see the on ice play. I’d have rather sat at the very top.
The concourse / concession and washroom situation was a joke behind OO. Literally impossible to move. Zero chance of getting food, beer, anything unless you wanted to miss an entire period.
My friend was saying that supposedly this was an NHL event, not an Oilers or Commonwealth production. The NHL was supposedly disorganized and didn’t take feedback from the Oilers and Elks teams in regards to helping plan with the lack of infrastructure in the aging stadium.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Commonwealth stadium was built in the late 70's. It's not how modern stadiums are with concourses on multiple levels. There is 1 concourse. Anytime there is a big crowd for an event (concert, football, that game), it's a complete nightmare in the concourse. I went to Garth Brooks last year, same thing. So it's not the NHL or the Oilers, it's the stadium.
I have to say, when I saw the jerseys first unveiled with those pants and gloves, I didn't like them. I wouldn't want to see that combo on a regular basis but when they were on the ice, in that stadium in that setting, they looked good.
