Very good, I get one every game. i get tht everytime...

QUOTE (meathead21 @ Sep 10 2009, 08:06 PM) ya, they both look like some decent spots, what time does warm up start? Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe around 6:20 or 6:25. They're usually out there for about 15 minutes or so. Doors open at 6. I always try to get there right at 6 to catch all of warm-ups. Check closer to the game though, sometimes they open the doors 30 minutes early on special nights.

I'm really surprised no one suggested the food at Verizon.

If you want to look at some great artwork, stop in the American Art Museum/ National Portrait Gallery opposite VC- it's free and they have a terrific cafe and courtyard to eat in that is spectacular- otherwise- Clyde's before ( and after) but it will be packed, get there early!

1/2 hour prior to face off the team come out for warm-ups and they allow everyone down in the lower level to watch. Kind of nice to do once in a while since my seats are way up high.
