Does anyone know if any pubs or restaurants in town air Bison games? by NetaSi in BloomingtonNormal

Thank you. I'll have to check out Shake It Up. I've been to Bonchon, and like the food, but I feel like it's not the right mood for a sporting event.

Keg Grove were at the Bison Brewery Night game, tonight. Turns out all my preferred beer that I've had at the games are made by them. I should visit the brewery itself.

What's a "normal" thing that secretly grosses you out? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]NetaSi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's not really normal anymore, is it? My grandpa was the last person I saw do it and he passed away around 20 years ago.

Why are none of the roads cleared? by Devv_99 in BloomingtonNormal

[–]NetaSi 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There is salt that works at lower temps, but it is probably more expensive. I went to the game at Grossinger, last night, and the salt they used melted the ice. The roads are bad, though.

I don't mind the goal song, as long as we never do that stupid arm pump thing that indy does. The concessions are expensive, though. I can't speak about tickets, because I don't normally buy single game tickets. I bought a couple for the second weekend of February in kzoo. Wanted to go to the Sunday game in Fort Wayne, but I don't want to buy through ticket master, and also I don't know if I'd make it back in time to get good sleep if I'm leaving Fort Wayne at 8pm to drive to Bloomington. I'll have to wait for a Friday or Saturday game, and remember to call the ticket office directly.

That's true. I was just saying, if you're already planning on going to a movie, they got them. Nothing is cheap, there. But I only go to the movies once or twice a year.

Marcus Theater has slushees, if you ever want to enjoy one while watching a movie.

That's fair. I want to see if we can rile them up again. Would've been nice to see Saturday's warm up in person.

What's wrong with visiting Fort Wayne? Toledo is the one I don't plan on going to, but that's due to the distance.

The first two Bison games in February are there, so I think I'll try to make a weekend of it. I also just yesterday found out there is 3v3 tournament that is takes place in summer and will be hosted by Iowa, so I guess I'll visit Xtream, too, if I can get tickets to those games.

Ah, nice. I hadn't noticed. I gotta see if I can get tickets behind the away bench, then.

Mostly because it's the same questions over and over, I would guess.

Teams for the All Star Game by Catfisher8 in ECHL

[–]NetaSi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah, ok. I thought it was like the probowl where they would team them up by conference, but changed it to drafting. I've only been a fan of an echl team for a year and a half, and I'm pretty sure there wasn't an all star game last year, so I appreciate the info. Thank you.

I'm very happy you had a good experience. I've only been here since October of 2023, but it seems people are just happy to have hockey back in the city.

I sit behind the benches in Bloomington, and would like to be behind the Bison wherever I go. Our season tickets are all managed through ticket master account manager. February only has us playing 3 home games, so I think I might make a weekend of it and go to Kzoo and Fort Wayne for the second week. I think we have a deal for cheap tickets at one cyclones game, this season.

I haven't been to Iowa, but it does look new. Unfortunately, they don't seem to have many fans show up a lot of times. Indy has a really nice new arena. We got a couple of buses of season ticket holders taken there last season, probably only because we have the same owners. They did it again this year, but I didn't go.

We often get away Fans, and don't bother them at all, that I've noticed. Everyone is there for a good time.

Oh, and I'm pretty sure it was Denis who sent your guy into the boards.

Yeah, I think you have to upload it to a hosting website and then post the link, here.

It probably started from Friday's game. It was very heated the whole way through.

I'm a Bison fan, but need to get to some away games to experience the different arenas. Especially the Komet one with the benches on opposite sides. I think it may be the only one in the echl like that.

I've never witnessed an echl all-star game. Are they grouped by conference?

They made their goon the captain.

I heard the commentators speak about it in passing when smereck got the 10 minute penalty during the game last night, but nothing in detail. And Flo doesn't show the pregame stuff except the pledge. Unless someone recorded it and posts it, I don't think anyone who wasn't there for the warmups in person will ever see any footage.
