newbieflyersfan
Yeah I would love to go to a few away games. I'll have to see if I can come up with some extra dough during the school year.

I've already started looking for plane fares....my co-worker's family lives in Columbus and said we were more than welcome to stay a night there. smile.gif

I'll be going to most, if not all the Pittsburgh games since I love close enough. I'm also going to Philly for the 1st time in November for a home game around my birthday (5th) just don't know which one yet.

I want to go out to Columbus this year, but it all depends on what goes down with school and other random things. I only made Pens and Caps road games last year.
hurrakaingvc
i'm going to the games on jan 15th and jan 30th against the lightning

Why is the Columbus game so popular? Generally I try to avoid flying just for a game unless I am going there for something else, because I can go to so many in just a drive. I can make all NY area games, Boston, Buffalo, Pittsburgh, and Washington by driving. I'll definitely go to the Garden once or twice, a few at the Rock, and then I would like to go to Pittsburgh or Washington. I'll also probably make it up to Buffalo as my sister lives just outside of Buffalo. Possibly Boston as well...

Well my dad and I are about as passionate as they come and we'll do anything to go see the flyers. But for the LA and Anaheim game one of our old neighbors moved out there last year so were going to visit him to and he's going to go to the games with us (being a flyers fan himself)

I believe it's a weekend game and well isn't Columbus a college town, so a party after the game.

Don't get me wrong, I am passionate, but I don't have the money right now just to be flying across the country to see them. Granted, I'm not living on the streets, but I prefer to keep it within driving distance. I was more curious why Columbus of all places, but hey, it could be a cool city.

If I were to fly to a game, and I've thought about it, I'd definitely go to either Toronto or Montreal. Columbus might be a cool city as I said but it probably isn't a great hockey city and I've always wanted to see a game in Canada. One of those two could be a possibility for me...

Natrually, Toronto and\or Montreal is the place to go. I've been there, but Columbus will be a heck of a lot cheaper to get to and see a game for face value.

Yeah I'd imagine Columbus would be much, much cheaper. I've been to Toronto, just not to a game there.

I have some friends near that area, but actually for the reason you said. I've been to the drivable places. I had actually planned to go to Columbus a couple years back but I had to cancel it last minute.

I forgot about the games down in Tampa....my Dad has a friend down there so I might make them. But we'll see!

well were actually going to Columbus because we were originally just supposed to go to vancouver anaheim and la and then we saw they play chicago and columbus right before so we figured we'd add them in as part of our trip too.

you all are lying so bad. you know you're going to the columbus game because you miss RJ.
Tommy916
I am definitely going to see the Flyers against both NY teams(we have not decided on the dates yet),the Devils on Oct 24 and the Capitals on Feb 24. Hopefully I will go to Buffalo and Toronto and Montreal as well but nothing is planned for those cities yet.

Alright, you got me. I got to meet his family out in Pittsburgh and they were really cool. Maybe if I go out there we can all hang out together and play a little Find the Saltine.


Mr. Umberger is crazy good!
Dave
Hopefully Buffalo and Toronto as I'll be living near there next year.

Maybe the Rags or the Caps, too.
The Rifle27
MTL, NJ, NYR, CBJ. Im going to try to make.

well, once you've been to all the cities that are driveable, you need to start looking further away (if your goal is to see the flyers in every building smile.gif)

I'll definitely be at the game here in Denver. I've got 2 co-workers from the Philly area (ok, one from Philly, one from the Poconos). It'll be at least the three of us and and a Panthers fan (maybe more).

I might go to an Islanders game. I'm sure tickets are easy to come by and it's pretty much a guaranteed win. Win/Win situation if you ask me.

Was there a lot of empty seats for the game? I don't think anyone really cares about the Islanders.

i'm gonna try to get to a division away game this year. if it happens, it'll be against the raggers or the devils. if not, maybe the caps cuz my buddy lives at johns hopkins.

There's always a lot of empty seats there but they generally have bigger crowds (by their standards) for Flyers games because obviously it's a division game and there are always a good amount of Flyers fans filling the seats.

I'm moving to boston in a couple weeks. With that being said Ill be at all the flyers games in boston.

On a side note, does anyone know what the deal is with the NHL center ice from comcast?

There was some empty seats, but there was way more flyers fans there. I heard lets go flyers most of the game and after in the concourse it was all "LETS GO FLYERS"

We play the Rangers on my birthday (April 9th) and the Isles (April 11th). Wouldn't mind visiting NYC for my birthday and going to both of these games, I've heard it's hard to get to Uniondale. How do you get there from NYC and how long does it take?

LIRR


http://www.mta.info/lirr/

There is no train stop for the Nassau Coliseum; you will need to take a bus or a taxi to the venue from any station.

Nassau Coliseum in located near 3 LIRR train stations; Westbury, Hempstead & Hicksville.

You can access the LIRR at Penn Station in NYC
