C&K:The Quest for 32

Even though we're there to see and experience as much as we can, and we plan on reporting on it all, we thought it would be prudent to have a list of observations that we want to be sure to make. We want to cover the usuals like the food and seats, but we want to cover some additional details that we think are special about a hockey game. The list The Food Everyone that knows us knows that Kate loves a good hotdog and Chris is a connoisseur of soft pretzels, what's a sporting event without good eats The Seats Comfort as well as placement in the arena. How is the view of the game The Cleanliness Mainly in the bathrooms, but also in general The Souvenir shops Is there a good selection of items The Jumbotron These can be good or bad. Honestly, in all things MSG, this is where the Garden lacks the most. We are looking forward to seeing what some of the new jumbotrons can do The Staff A day at the game can be made or broken by the staff of the arenas. From the ticket takers to the c...

Living in New Jersey, we've attended many events at MSG, there is something about this building that is so special. You feel an electricity whenever you are there. It is the arena to which we will compare all others. Our first MSG visit: September 2, 1996  USA vs Russia, World Cup of Hockey I'm not even sure how we got tickets to this, but boy oh boy, this was a game we will never forget. This is the only game we have ever been to where the USA chant happened. It is not easy to put into words when you hear that or even get to be a part of the chant, but if you could bottle and sell patriotic pride, you would have made a fortune from that night. This was Chris's first live hockey game, when asked his thoughts on that night today, "Everyone went crazy, it was so exciting when Brett Hull scored that first goal". It never calmed down after that. Over the years we have seen several NY Ranger's Games, we have sat all around the Garden. Cantor afforded us great corpo...

 Hello and Welcome!  Frozen Superfans We're Chris and Kate Dudonis and we hail from South Jersey. Chris is a lifelong NY Rangers fan, Kate a converted Philadelphia Flyers fan. How did that happen??? Well, knowing Kate the way he did, it was through personal stories about the players that Chris knew how to get Kate to turn away from Philly to New York. By the '98 season, she knew the players names and most of the wives names, so lets just say she was all in. We've rooted for the team through the highest highs and playoff droughts. We've been convinced Sather was an idiot and wondered how in the world we'd replace Zuc and Hags. We prayed for Henrik to hoist the cup just once in his brilliant career and we froze in 0 degree temperatures at Yankee Stadium to see them crush the NJ   Devils .  As the little Dudoni grew up and went off to college, though, we looked at each other and wondered how we would spend our empty nest years. We discussed travel, but had no plan, u...
