We got really good seats (below face value) from Stubhub for the 1/9 Capitals vs. Flyers game. No doubt they were being dumped at the last minute because the Flyers are awful this year. Anyway, you can see from these pictures from Julie's cell phone how close we were--that's Kolzig on the left, and the face-off dot directly in front of us. We were about ten rows back for a nice 6-2 Caps win.I like to splurge on lower-bowl seats once a year, if I can. There's nothing wrong with watching hockey from the "cheap" seats, but there's something to be said for being able to see faces shmushed into the glass, as well. And the speed is even more incredible up close. Now, if the prices more adequately reflected demand and quality of product, so that more people could get a look at the game, maybe the game could re-establish footholds and be in position to take Mark Cuban's advice.
