    No wonder the NHL is irrelevant. No clue how to build a fan base. Took my two little kids, hardly anything to do. Long lines. What kid likes to wait in a line at a fan fest. That we paid to go to! Something fundamentally wrong with a six year old waiting in line behind 10 old men to play a game. Who are your fans? The 30 and 40 year old man in jerseys? Or the hundreds of kids that were there to play games? Also, did not see 1 pro. Lame. Been to the MLB all star game, NBA all star game. Both fantastic and kid friendly. Not to mention FREE! Get a clue. You guys are so out of touch. Make it Kid friendly! 10 and under friendly. Not 40 year old man in a jersey friendly.

    Ok but not worth the money or travel

    by ReneenJustin on 1/27/15Columbus Convention Center - Columbus

    Tickets cost $75 total. Most things cost extra to do. Not very family friendly due to little for kids to do and long lines. Not very organized. Workers asked us what to do or how to line up other participants. Just disappointed in the whole experience.

    Long lines detracted from overall satisfaction

    by NHLinCbus on 1/27/15Columbus Convention Center - Columbus

    A gaint party celebrating hockey and the NHL complete with strobes - dancers - music and the stanley cup. The problem. Everything had 2 and three hour lines. 3 hours to see the cup at which point the line was closed, 2.5 hours to use the snow slide outside, incomprehensible lines for any of the try it/skill type attractions. Fun, but never got to try the "real fun" stuff

    NHL Fan Fair was absolute heaven for hockey fans

    by GoJax on 1/27/15Columbus Convention Center - Columbus

    Lots to do for all ages. Autographs, hockey cards and memorabilia, team mascots interracting with everyone, you could test your skills, and the best part was seeing the Stanley Cup and all of the other league trophies.

    Fun time!

    by Leese3 on 1/27/15Columbus Convention Center - Columbus

    This was the first time we attended the NHL Fan Fair. While I enjoyed the overall experience, I was highly disappointed at the lack of vendors that were there selling memorabilia. I feel there could have been more vendors for each team there selling their own "wearables" and souveniers. I would hope that in the future, the teams embrace this opportunity to get more fan-wear out to the fans.

    Not all that great

    by SenecaStrong on 1/27/15Columbus Convention Center - Columbus

    Wasn't anything close to what was advertised. Hour wait just to do an activity. 2 hour wait to have your picture with the Stanley Cup. 30 min wait for concessions. One player doing autographs and he was a no name. The list of players to come for the rest of the day were nobody's. And I am a hockey fan and know who players are. Gift shop marked up 20% of the already high prices. If you're into the mascots then you had a good time.

    The event was a lot of fun, plenty of booths and things to keep you occupied. Lines were long but that is expected with the Allstar game and line control was handled very well so that was great too!

    Great if you love lines

    by MadFan55 on 1/27/15Columbus Convention Center - Columbus

    Simply awful! Waited 1 hr just to get in the door when we already had tickets. One inside, there were a ton of cool things to do. However, everyone of them had an incredibly long line! I understand lines and can deal with them in some respect, but when you only have 5-10 things to do, you cant wait hours to do them. The line to see the Stanly cup took over 2 hours to get through! The skills booths were all over 1 hour as well. No re-entry was allowed so if you missed something before the game, you couldn't go back and see it later. Overall one of the worst fan experiences I have ever been to. I have been to the Big 10 fan fest and the Super Bowl festivities too......both 10x better than the NHL event!!

    Yawn

    by Anonymous on 1/27/15Columbus Convention Center - Columbus

    A lot of expensive publicity and hype. Great to take my son; very cool to see the Stanley Cup and have pictures taken. Upper Deck display not exceptional; having a card made for a child, not free...

    Columbus Puts on a Show

    by plunger1 on 1/27/15Columbus Convention Center - Columbus

    The NHL Fan Fair at the Columbus Convention Center was one of the main attractions to this weekend's NHL All-Star game. For those of us who weren't able to get tickets to either the game or the skills competition, this event which is pretty much once in a lifetime experience since All-Star games tend not to repeat locations. This was my first time ever being in the Convention Center & was impressed not only with the size of things (this is the largest event ever put on by the NHL) but also by how smoothly they kept the crowds moving in & also how spacious things were. This is a very family friendly event with things to do for kids & adults of all ages & there is enough to do to keep people occupied for hours. With souvenirs things were relatively well priced thus making this an event the entire family can enjoy

    Overcrowded

    by Erdely on 1/27/15Columbus Convention Center - Columbus

    Should have limited the number of tickets for sale. Way too many people in line for every single activity. Spent five hours there and didn't get to participate in much of anything. Food and merchandise prices were absolutely horrid.

    It was great to be with my hockey family!

    by bmm218 on 1/27/15Columbus Convention Center - Columbus

    It was a great event. Meeting the players was awesome. However most of the people that worked there didn't know where the information area was inside the event. The only one that was available was outside the event room but you couldn't come back in once you went out. Unless you fond the event manager, which was hard to do. Other than that it was great

    More Fun than the Game

    by mjsgaelach on 1/27/15Columbus Convention Center - Columbus

    Although I didn't attend the game (watched it on tv-embarrassed for hockey by the end) I greatly enjoyed the FanFair. The atmosphere was all hockey. This is almost impossible to artificially manufacture, but was the result of the work put into the event by the organizers. The 2-hour wait dissuaded me from having my picture taken with the Stanley Cup, but I enjoyed the displays of the other trophies. I attended with my wife and an adult son and daughter and we all enjoyed the event.
