Love coming to Griffins hockey games! Seats are affordable and all the seats have a great view! Come on Friday nights for $2 beers and hot dogs.

Watch out for drunk college girls in large groups. Easy to spot. Not dressed for a hockey game whatsoever, high pitched voices, and wasted after 2 beers.

Michael DiazJanuary 4, 2014$2 hotdogs should last more than 18 minutes. Nice promotion, but good luck getting one.
Jamin LittellMarch 28, 2011The security made us stand out in the freezing cold with tons of room in the warm lobby. And the security guards were heartless and inmane
