So today I headed over to the Open House they had for Devils ticket holders & friends at the Prudential Center in Newark with
djdysfunction, Sara & Dave. Talk about state-of-the-art! The concourses wide enough to accomodate 18,000 people and the seats have cusions & cupholders!!! One thing that perplexed me is that the faucets in the bathrooms do not have the motion sensors. I guess they dumped their money into decorating the Fire & Ice Lounges (which I believe only Club Seat ticket holders can go in...but we're not sure). Speaking of the lounges, Sara & I were fascinated by the bar stools in Ice Lounge - they spun AND were adjustable so we kept spinning & lowering our stools simultaneously. Very entertaining.
My camera battery crapped out before we got around to meeting the players... thank god Ben had his camera!
The Players:
I succombed to typical fan behavior and got my jersey signed by: Brylin, Gionta, Langenbrunner, Brodeur, Pandolfo and I think someone else... HAHA I am so blonde. Took pictures with Brylin, Gionta, Madden (of course) and LOU!!! Yep, we saw Lou walking around.
Oh yeah, and I wrote down my phone number for Madden, chickened out on passing it to him, and then Sara went over to him and said "This is from my friend, the blonde." The good news is, he didn't seem annoyed, but he perked up and took it. I know... that's just ridiculous. I couldn't make this shit up people. God I just lust this man:
And one last note - Parise & Clarkson are unbelievably adorable creatures!
Here is a link to my pics and some I swiped from Ben (mostly the player pics)
