I had just checked into the Cambria Hotel next door...so I got into the elevator to ride down to the hotel room. Unbeknownst to me was a button to push for the Consol Energy Center, right out of that elevator. Walked out at that floor, and wen t through a set of double doors. I asked if I can enter the game here, the guy handed me a free shirt, and showed me the direction to my seat (without me asking). En route, got hungry. Bought - just $5 - a couple of truly fine, a little bit nicely spicy, bratwursts. They were fine. Arena half full, so I could spread out. My seat was right in front of the cheerleaders as well. Great game, you could see everything, and what you could not see, they were showing you doubled-up on the hanging big screen t.v. overhead. Excellent cheerleader 1/2 time show!
I have been to this venue before to see the wrestling (see my earlier review). Liked it too. There seems to be a big emphasis on ticketholder satisfaction, and the customer is always right.
Because of that, I will keep going back to this place each time I am in Pittsburgh, and see more events there, and spend $ there. Just as well spend it at a place where I am treated like royalty.
Maybe next time, I'll see the hockey.
