Saw the CT Whale on Sunday the 17th of February. It was a great game. we had seats 1 row from the glass behind the goal. Love wwatching the AHL players. They play the game for the love of the game. If the NHL could take a few pointers from them then I might want to go to an NHL game. Great fun for the whole family. GO CT Whale
The commentators were great, the crowd was so much fun, overall it was awesome! I would definitely recommend it to anyone and would love to go again.
I bought my tickets Sunday morning for the 3pm game. The parking was easy. The tickets were waiting for us at will call. No hassle to get tickets and enter the xl center to enjoy the game
This was the best time there yet. Parking was right across the street. Walked in an got tickets at will call. Special entry for will call tickets, got right in without waiting.
XL Center was clean, convenient and Game was truly great family entertainment. Very few places where a family can get reasonably priced Hockey tickets with professional level performance. So I would recommend , especially for a family looking for an afternoon or evening out.
For the price of one trip to a concession stand at an NHL game, our family had amazing seats and snacks. The Whale team has lots of famy friendly events throughout the game and the game itself is fast and exciting. We paid only $6 to park and we had only a short walk to the arena. All in all with today's prices this is a great way to live professional sports for a reasonable price.
My husband and I brought my 8 year old grandson to his first game. He loved it and we had excellent seats. His only disappointment was not getting his face on the big screen. We told him next time as he wants to go again as do we. We were at the very first game of the Whale and keep coming back. It is so nice to have a hockey team in CT to go watch that is closer than Bridgeport. It was a very good game and we are so happy the Whale won. Keep up the good work boys!
Seats were awesome!! I can't wait to go to the next game!! The staff was fun!!
I enjoyed a very close game with my 10-year-old daughter, whereas the Whale won 2-1 in OT against the Admirals. The Whale works hard to provide a family-friendly atmosphere, and there's a lot of kids shown dancing on the jumbo tron, so it's very interactive. Some shwarmy game show-type roams the crowd with a mic, and of course there's Pucky the green whale. That being said, if you're not surrounded by lots of happy kids, you may get the heavy-drinking-loud-swearing adults that we ran into on Saturday night. My girl can handle it (she has that uncle everyone seems to have), but it could be awkward with some of the little ones I saw there. This was in section 203, and it probably can't be avoided at any sporting event these days. Also, the XL Center seems to be one of the most kid-friendly venues I've ever seen (and big-time cost friendly) compared to the NHL. All-in-all a great time.
Going to these games are fun rather it is for a date night or family night. They keep you entertained. You can even do the Larry ( a dance that a very dedicated fan does by moving your arms up and down). Great prices for a good game and excitement.
My girlfriend and I went and it was great. the atmosphere was fun and exciting it was a shame the Whale lost in OT but it didnt ruin the whole night at all. I wish more fans would go to games its not a bad price for a fun filled night. this was our 3rd game we went to 2 other games last season and that was a good time as well. I recommend it to anyone looking to get out for a fair price.
god game and seats behind goal row j staff at xl center friendly and helpful. good parking. food and drink prices high, Could be more consumer friendly Tough when you bring a family.
Great price great game great bars around there. Great alternative when there is a lock out.
Thought the game was good...we had fund as family. The food at the XL Center is bad and I would suggest you eat before you go!!
I moved to California 37 years ago. Last game I saw here was the old Whalers. Well the CT. Whale do not equal that caliber of play. Whales got beat 3 to 0 with Tigers making their first goal within the first minuet of the game. Tigers being the better team. Whales looked good moving up and down the ice with good passing. They sure had it hard getting a goal against the Tiger goalie, and the Whales goalie looked not up to par. All this with the Whale having more shots on goal through out the game. It was an exciting game that I enjoyed thoroughly through out the whole game. Will i go again? You betcha!!! We had great seats. All of the seats in the lower level have great views of the floor.
While NHL was on a lock out, we drove up to Hartford to see Conn Whale play and AHL game. Hockey is hockey and this was fun to watch. The arena was not very crowded, so you wonder how they cover their expenses, but the players were really professional in running their plays, defense, offense and a few fights. Much less trippng and holding than in the NHL. Keep up the good work and make it to the NHL
We are new to the Hartford area and had our daughter's friends visiting from out of town. We wanted to take them someplace fun, but had never been to the XL Center. The whole experience exceeded our expectations. The girls had a great time, the food was good, and parking was convenient and affordable. The only improvements could have been if the Whales won and we hadn't bought seats behind the goal. Next time we'll look for seats closer to center ice.
Would have been better if they won. But it was a fun event to watch.
Although the outcome of the game wasn't what was hoped for, the overall experience was terrific. The Whale put on a fun event at the XCel Center. It is very family friendly with an intimate crowd packed with kids. The price of the tickets is a terrific value.
Had a great time at the hockey game. It's affordable family fun.
