For those of you who can’t secure tickets to tomorrow night’s season / home opener at the Times Palace might want to know that the the game is to be broadcast on the side of the Channelside parking garage in a setup much like the 2003-04 playoffs.

Also, the B-52’s are scheduled to perform a free concert from 5PM to 6:45 in the Chrysler Jeep plaza…

…Which means if you have tickets and don’t want to take part in either the concert or the outside viewing, remember there is more than one enterance to the arena…. Fans can access the building from the East side of the Arena (gates C and D) to get around the crowd in the plaza.

Sports Fan Magazine asked me a couple of questions for their NHL season preview and I was glad to oblige.
