    Anyone ever go to the games? I love it .. Very cheap compared to Rox or NHL games. 2 row about 35 a seat and you can get on lower bowl for about $15. Extremely active fans as opposed to the Rox games. No suits here. Go see them sometime.

    Remember going to see them as a kid. Awesome time, great atmosphere back then...good to hear it's still the same.

    To get the best hockey experience, Houston needs to get an NHL team. Not sure how many people would go to watch though.

    do you work for them?


    seems like a shill post.





    I've been to two hockey games in my life. I went two times last season. I think they average like 6,000.

    The closest i sat was behind the glass. Like two rows. It was pretty awesome. Too bad we lost that game. It was game 6 of the Cup Finals. Thank you the people who hooked it up and brought me down to the glass.

    I've been maybe twice in my life, once being back in December and January, but it was fun. I definitely could see myself getting into hockey over soccer. I think the smaller playing surface and faster pace (despite the same amount of scoring) make it more exciting for me. I really got into it the last Winter Olympics. But, with the Rockets and Astros and Texans and now Skeeters, there's other games I'd go to first.

    Ha...they may suck but nothing to me, nothing beats a ballpark hot dog at a baseball game.

    [Wrong Forum] Other Sports

    I'd like to take the family to one soon. I know a bit about the rules, but that doesn't mean I can't watch them. I know a lot of yous here on the BBS don't understand a lot of Football (soccer) rules, but still watch it. :eek:
    You have 82 chances to get that in the MLB. You only have 8 chances to get that in the NFL.

    We go to a game every now and then. It's fun, fast paste, and reasonably priced. I think the big problem is its some thing here in the Houston area we did not grow up with or played as a kid.

    side note I think they have a awesome logo

    I got a groupon for four games this season, went to quite a few last season as well. I don't follow hockey much, but the games are a lot of fun.

    Eh, football games are expensive and the presentation kind of sucks. I'd much rather watch from home or at a bar, where I get better view than the nosebleeds.

    As for soccer, I'm not a big fan, but I will say I definitely want to check out a game at BBVA Compass Stadium this season...if I can get tickets.
