Had great time at the Three Rivers Classic. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The facility is very comfortable for the viewing fans. Hope to return again. First class operation!
I loved watching the hockey games as always. Competition could have been better this year but there is no way to predict that the teams invited will be top notch or bottom dwellers. Boston College is a very well coached team. It was almost as cold inside the facility as it was outside. It is a 3 year old building and therefore should not have to be kept at an uncomfortably cold temperature, I should also not be shivering while watching an indoor sporting event. This is not unique to these games but to all hockey events at Consol as I am a Penguins season ticket holder.
I went to the inaugural Three Rivers Classic last year, and I've made it my new holiday tradition by returning this year. Both were fantastic experiences. I love hockey. It's great to be able to attend hockey games at Consol without having to sell a kidney for a ticket, even club seats in row B. I went both days and even by the end of the second day I wish there was more to see or maybe vendors selling collegiate jerseys, merchandise, etc. The teams this years were great inclusions. Robert Morris and Penn State should remain permanent participants because they're the local clubs. But, including nationally ranked teams like last year's Miama, and Boston College help on multiple levels. Firstly, showcasing Pittsburgh and the building, the atmosphere, the people, and the Pens organization allows the pens to better pursue potential draft picks. But having RMU and PSU play against powerhouse schools like BC will help them grow and become better teams themselves. Which will in turn make for better hockey all around. If you enjoy watching hockey; come next year. If you're an alumn; come next year. If you're a casual fan that's wants to see a game; come next year. The Three Rivers Classic is fun, exciting, and much appreciated.
Had issues with printing the tickets online. The event itself was great and well-priced. Totally would go again!
Hockey was extremely interesting and enjoyable, the ticket prices were very fair............the concession stands were one big ripoff.........very poor, low quality, lousy tasting cold food for outrageous prices
I wanted to see Penn State play while I was home for the holidays but there were no home games in State College during the dates I was home. I saw an advertisement for the Three Rivers Classic during a Penguin game I was watching on ROOT and decided I would go and take my family of five. We went on the second day to watch Penn State play the "championship" game (there were only four teams playing in the tournament). The Consol energy center is a fantastic place to watch a game however for the price I paid to watch a College game it was not worth it. The seats were very good but I would say only about 1/3 of the stadium was filled and there was just no energy in the game nor in the players it seemed. I would not recommend this to anyone. Save your money and go to a home game in State College and have a much better time.
Good entertainment at a great price family enjoyed the event.
It was fun to go to the arena for hockey again. We had Pens tickets years ago, before prices went out of sight, and this was very economical. Consider bringing in WVU, which would add "local" flavor, instead of always having RMU and Penn State.
This is a fun event to attend. I have gone two years now. It is an affordable way to see hockey at Consol, We also enjoy rooting for PSU and RMU.
Excellent event! They do a great job of bringing in some of the top names in college hockey to showcase this mini - tournament style weekend. Only in it's second year and is a top notch must-see if you're a college hockey fan...or if you like hockey at any level. Great event for all ages to enjoy!
So, okay, my team did not win, but I still had a very good experience. Our seats were incredible - had a great view of the ice. Every one of the staff was friendly and helpful. The concessions were well staffed and the food was great. This was a two day event, so we spent the night in Pittsburgh. Every thing about the weekend was wonderful: the hotel, the sights, the food. Hope this becomes an annual event. We will definitely come back again!
Great team spirit from the crowd and great games to watch. Loved the RMU pep band, really added to the fun. Can't beat the price to watch 2 awesome games at the Consol. Big thanks to the staff as I was there on crutches and they could not have been more helpful. Handicap seats we had didn't have a ramp so we were upgraded to an area that was almost center ice. Very nice.Would have been nice if the Smoke House had been open for the break between the games. Guess you need more than 11,000 for it to be open. Maybe next year.I do plan on attending next year
Good tournament. I felt as tho the location of the seats in upper bowl were not thought out. Take the escalators all the way up and walk the whole way around. Also the merch for the tournament I felt was lacking.
Great value for two nights of hockey - teams were great and atmosphere was enjoyable!
It was great to see hockey in Pittsburgh when the NHL is still locked out, but I look forward to the NCAA tournament next year, too.
The venue is terrific; every arena employee I came into contact with was both professional and friendly. The event showcased some excellent collegiate hockey, and I expect to be there again next year.
This was such a great idea for kids home for college over break, and worked out so well to have a "hockey fix" while the lock-out continues. Hope it expands to a bigger tournament with more colleges represented.
the games and the entire event was fantastic. the crowds were excited and the whole college atmosphere was just great, especially having alot of youngsters at the games
College hockey was great....will go next year again!
WAS SOME OF THE BEST HOCKEY I HAVE EVER SEEN!!!! HOPE IT IS AN EVENT EACH YEAR AND CAN GET THE SAME TICKETS!!!!
