[quote name="CLWolf81"]I have the picture somewhere, but I found that to be the oddest thing about the arena. I've never seen an arena smacked next to another building that hasn't been used in years, but I decided on taking the picture as a result of the oddity...[/quote]Be fair... that opera house gives the bums a place to hang out and sleep and panhandle.

They do. Inside Scottrade. Only they're fans.

It will be after the first of the year. Skate keeps my Novembers pretty full.

Ton and I were disscusing this year's road trip. I'd love to see the Maple leafs, but thats hell of a trip to make. I can do the Wings which should be an easy trip 5 hours or the Preds which would be plan B. I love the Wings trip. :think:

TO is only an 8 hour drive, same time as driving to Nashville. Porter Air also flys there on the cheap. If you drive stay in Mississauga to save on a hotel. Of course the tickets will be the most expensive part but if you can find a way to get to TO I say do it.



I know others disagess but hockey at the Joe is amazing. The place drips of nostalgia, but plan on missing the better part of a period should you have to use the john.



Nashvilee is just plain fun. Even if you don't like Country music the scene on Broadway is cool.

Great picture! I'm pretty sure I don't even remember taking it...I probably posed for a lot more I don't remember.... :lol:



Love the two photo-bombers in the back...(except they're not really bombers because they're Hawk fans, too, so it's all good...)



I would love to go back down to St. Louis again, and I will try (on my own if I have to, Jeremy....though the schedule really sucks this year for St. Louis....but I will definitely try. If I'm coming, you know I'll call you.)



At this moment I am seriously leaning towards Nashville (DYING to see that city, plus one of my friends at work goes down there every single year for the Hawks, and I'm jealous after hearing his stories...)



I also have family not far from Columbus, so the Columbus game is looking like an absolute must for me (again, with just me and my son if need be...guess I'll see you there, Mill!)



I also have road-tripped to Minneapolis-St. Paul about, oh--a million times (ex-boyfriend...don't ask.) I know that trip like the back of my hand... I would totally go there again. (And as the ex was clueless about hockey, or any sport for that matter....I know----what was I thinking? Hooking up with a guy like THAT?---it's not like I'd run into him there or anything...) :D



The only other destinations I'd consider (right now) would be D.C. (I freakin' love D.C.) and Atlanta. I have 50,000 AA miles burning a hole in my pocket....(used my last 50,000 on a trip to Vegas to see another Hawk fan friend of mine get hitched...too bad the Hawks don't play there)...that'd be one hell of an IHN trip... :)



So if the consensus IHN vote comes to Nashville, Columbus, St. Louis or St. Paul, count me in; I'll drive to any of those places. (And quite possibly be willing to fly to Atlanta or D.C.)

We might have to vote on this, that way we can see where people are wanting to go. Forgot all about that DC date in March... Hmmmmm.... I'd say add that one to the list too.

[quote name="JOVE23"]Also check on the rates for AirTran, I think they do like $70 one way fares if you book it early enough.[/quote]

Think twice about flying AirTran. They were formerly known as ValuJet and had a list of FAA problems years ago with delayed maintenance and flying older jets. Plus the '96 flight that crashed in the Florida Everglades when oxygen canisters ignited. I refuse to fly them and try to warn others as well.

Well I hope everyone comes back to the Loo again this year. But I would be willing to travel around as well. Nashville wouldnt be a bad drive either. I was thinking of you Erica when the Flyers were doing well because i know they are your second favorite team. I got a few more pictures from that trip as well. i will have to drop them in a picture thread soon.

Like E said, the Joe is hockey. I don't care what others say about it. When we went

there for the first game of the WDF the previous season, the first thing I thought once

I got into the arena was "this feels like hockey". The only other place in my life that I

have felt that was the Chicago Stadium.



With that being said, I think I am skipping St. Louie this year and heading to Miami with

a hockey buddy. I am looking forward to seeing Dale's boys play against us there. Being in Miami in early March for golf and the ocean is the added bonus.

Bring it on. Haven't made hotel arrangements yet. We like Easton a lot out there (very cool shopping/eating/drinking area) but it's about 10-15 minutes from downtown on the northeast side. We'll probably just end up downtown.

Except for the October 15 BJs' game, I'm going to be working in Toledo, Ohio through next spring or maybe the summer and would be up for meeting at an IHN road trip in Detroit or Columbus.

Just got word we will be playing in a youth tournament next January in the Joe.

Our kids have already played in the Rockford Metro Center (thanks in large part to IHF) and Allstate Arena so time will tell if it is a bigger thrill in the Joe.
