The seats smelled of urine. Spent the first two periods in lines at concessions stands. They kept running out of hot dogs, pretzels and pizza. Then ran out of a beer, too. Have pics of 8 people standing with their backs to the service counter while one register was in use with 50-60 people lined up at this particular stand. I would prefer to pay for the concessions i bring in myself (yes, buy them and then pay again for the privilege to bring them in to the game). When I finally did find a stand with hot dogs they did not have trays to bring the food and drinks back to the game. Ridiculous experience that I don't ever want to re-live.

the first period the Whale played well at first but let the
falcons back in with goals late... The second period was the best I have seen them skate this year... Early in the third period it looked like the Falcons were coming back... But the Whale got back to good ways of the second period and even held off a late 6 on 5 for a much needed 2 points...

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.

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!

Favorite moment: The winning Whale goal in OT. @

Posted 02/18/2013

by ProudestFather

Location:Northeast Connecticut

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.
