I have only been to one hockey game and that was last season for a game against the Nashville Predators. My friend and I sat in section 111, row Q and we were really close to the action. The seats are really tight, especially if you have a big person on each side of you (one with a big fur coat) that keeps touching you. Luckily that person decided to move back a row and I had more room to work with.

I can't speak of the outlandish alcohol prices. Do what a lot of Caps fans do. Go to happy hour at Bar Louie's first and drink your heart out with their $3 drafts! And yes, the bathrooms are clean and I did not have any line before the game started.

We had an easy in and easy out experience. I wish I could say the same for the Metro ride home; it gets crowded but beats driving and looking for parking.
