So I headed down to Philly this past weekend to hit up the Pens Flyers game on Sunday. It was my first time at the Wachovia center for any type of event. After going to the Mellon arena for the past 10 years, and recently attending the Wachovia center, I realized just how important technology plays in the Fan experience and enjoyment. When I walked down to my seats in Philly, I was shocked by all of the visual stimulation from all the screens and lights that circled around the entire arena. Not to mention the effects they had going on throughout the game. Don't get me wrong, I love Mellon arena. But as far as the Fan enjoyment, the Wachovia center had much more to offer as far as getting the fans into the game. But not only for the fans, the players are equally affected. The More the fans are into the game, the more energy the players get for the game.
The moral of the story is... I cant wait till the 2010 for the opening of the new home of the Pens.

i didnt read your blog, but i did the the bottom line. and the pens suck. they should all be kicked out of the league for their utter ability to rot the ice with their foul rank. ha im just messin. i dont even watch hockey. i am not a fan at all.
Ok, I just read what JPH wrote about the Pens and I'm like "WOAH!! HOLD UP!!"" Good thing he was kidding.... Yes, the Mellon Arena is realy old and needs upgraded. New arena in the works! I hope they finish it all by 2010. That's when I student teach! I GUESS that is pretty far away tho, considering I'm still stuck here for another 2 years. ANYWAY... I would like to see the Wachovia center and check out the differences. That was cool you got to experience that.
