Thread: Any tips on going on the kings east coast road trip?

Hi guys, if the season goes on without a work stoppage the wife and I are planning on going on the kings east coast road trip and were looking for any tips you guys have since we have never been there.

We are planning on going to the games in wash, buffalo, ny, nj & pittsburgh.

Any tips or advise would be appreciated thanks.

I know you are looking for real tips, but Tip #1...have an f'ing FANTASTIC time.......

Oh we plan on it! We are trying to squeeze the hall of fame in also since it's close to buffalo.

Contact the Boosters Club at each venue before you go. By direct contact with the front office, they should have the B.C. numbers. They will be able to get you the best tickets ahead of time. Make sure you hit the H.O.F. and Niagra falls

Sounds like a great trip! Depending on what else you're planning to do on the trip, rely on the subway/train systems in DC and NY/NJ.

So I contact the kings front office for those numbers or do I go directly to each team?

I was just going to say to stop in the HHOF.

If you do go to Niagara Falls like someone suggested. Stay away from the touristy resturants and I recommend Garrison's Grill just up the road from all the attractions. Great food and great prices.

HHOF may...may be a huge let down. Look around online for discounts if there are any. The most exciting thing will be seeing Kings name on the Cup and Quickie's on the Conn Smyth.

Have fun, make sure you say Hi to Kent, when you run into him in Buffalo......Trust me, you'll run into him...I'm 100% positive!

the game at verizon center is a 12:30 start on a sunday so there will plenty of parking at various business around the arena. The problem with taking the metro is after the game when 18,000 people try and board at the same time.

In Newark, the Penn Station (newark not NYC) is only a short walk to the arena. I plan on taking the train up in the morning watch the game and take the train back home to DC after.

The HOF isn't so much a letdown but the price to get in is a bit steep. I enjoyed every minute in there even though the kings were not represented. They are now and it would be worth every penny. I can't wait to go back. I'm
Planning on the western Canada trip this season.
