The game was fantastic! So proud to be season ticket holders for our Panthers. They came out strong and were agressive from the start. Great number of shots on goal while holding the Stars at bay. Nice passing and teamwork which will only improve with time. I can't wait for Oct 1Oth Opening night.
This was a wonderful game, especially because the Panthers beat the Stars 4 to 1. I personally love watching hockey games and it was wonderful to share this experience with my son and nephew. Great game, thanks again...
It was great opening night, lots of free stuff, and great for the family to do together.Everything was well organized and it also helped that the Panthers won.
It was a great match-up, and good seats, bathrooms were in order and clean, the lines were almost nothing, the food could use some help. For those prices the food should be great, and possibly a little healthier, or at least a wider variety.
We enjoyed the game and appreciated the free parking as well as 25 % off of all merchandise. Unfortunately the arena opened just one hour before the game started what we did not expect. We were waiting in front of the arena and missed some entertainment outside.
Great Game! Venue is very good for hockey. The food was actually warm/hot.
Great venue to see a professional hockey game.No fee for parking, great views from anywhere and awesome food along with superb hockey makes this an outstanding bargain for friends a date or the family. No worries about drunks, idiots, and buffoons in this classy arena, take my advice and go go go !!!
team played well ,,lots of action ,,great to see bryan allen back out there adds toughness to the team as he displayed last night good to see a little fight in the team,,we will not be pushed around as we were when had jay boand ollie,,team is heading in the right direction ,, WE WILL MAKE THE PLAYOFFS THIS YEAR..our turn to shine,,go panthers in 2009,,,a loyal fan
Panthers' top line looked pretty good for a preseason game and a couple of the new guys should help right away. Panthers are shhoting more and that's something they've needed to do for a long time. I'm still not a Vokoun fan, though he made some nice saves.
The Bank Atlantic Center is great, and the Panthers made cat food out of the Stars. Go Panthers!!!
Love the arena and game. Easy to park, lots of events inside.
I don't know too much about ice hockey but the game was great.
My son and I went to the game and it was the first game he went to. We had a blast the game was exciting and fast paced. Since this was my son's first game he kept saying Fun Hockey Game can we do this again Dad. I will bring my son again.
One of the best preseason games I have been to (for any sport). That pretty much describes the game. Bothe teams played their hearts out. The action was heated to the point where it felt like a playoff game. Great night!
They would have been asume if Horton played anywhere near his potential. The guy has no hockey sense. Its obvious he doesn'y have any idea what he is doing. Dvorak looks better than he ever has! Booth was Booth! Ballard is the Best Defenseman in the league. Overall Satisfaction!
I just loved the excitement, looked like a good turn out. The play action was good for the newbees, I think this team is going to go very far if not to the top of the division! We so need to win the STANLEY CUP, isn't it all players dream and boy do we deserve it here in South Florida!! Best of luck to all the players and looking forward to a awesome season.........
ANY PANTHER GAME IS A GREAT TIME, FUN FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY!
It was my first game that i've ever benn and i loved it!!!!!!!
What a great way to start the home season! GO CATS!
We had a great time at the hockey game! This was the first hockey game my husband and I have ever attended. I went to please my husband and ended up having a great time. I never thought hockey was exciting until I saw it live. Take your family and friends . It is worth it!
