We went to watch a hockey game. Caulder Cup playoffs with the Bears. It was a great time. The Giant Center is always clean, even the restrooms. The food is pricey, but good.
I love sitting in the Club Seats and this time did not disappoint! View from seats was great, game was awesome and the staff was excellent.
Getting through security was quick- no waiting in a long line. Seats were down front by the bench at center ice for a great price. Game was tight and the place was rocking when the Bears scored. The giveaway of the cowbell noisemakers was great! Added to the atmosphere of sound! And the Bears hung on for a 2-1 win!
No cash here. Ridiculous! I had to pay by credit card for popcorn. Also $35 to park! They are out of their minds! I guess as long as people continue to pay it they will keep raising their prices.
Great process in place to buy tickets for the final Bears game of the season. I'd give five stars except I had no idea that even a tiny woman's purse would not be allowed through the security checkpoint. Meanwhile, we saw dozens of people allowed in with larger bags. This is beyond stupid, and I will be hesitant to go back to the Giant Center if that's the kind of hassle I can expect.
The woman at the drink stand refused to give me “no ice” in my drink, stating that she had to, with some aggressiveness in her tone. I apologize that I don’t like to pay 10 dollars for 2 ounces of a drink that has small ice up to the brim, leaving no room for any liquid. Then I get out and see the Bears lose and make some stupid plays.
Thus game was a great game. Very physical and chippy hockey, with good solid play by both teams. Thought we may see OT, but The Bears came back to win 4 to 1. As a bonus, there was a gritty old fashioned tilt, awesome atmosphere.
As usual the event at the Giant Center was amazing. Haydon White is a valuable member of the Hershey Organization
After a little difficulty getting through security, my daughter, son in law, another daughter and I had a blast watching the Bears win 4-1.
