I don't know. There are some bars close by and restaurants too. I go to the games by myself so I would not know. Are you thinking of making the trip when the AMS are in town?

Did you buy a ticket in the club seat zone(the 4 sections in the middle of the ice?)

Or just a ticket for a regular seat? I am not sure if ticket prices went up because I switched my season ticket seat because paying about $20 short of $600 is crazy for a club seat. I paid $407 for my season tickets. By the price you mention the price may have gone up.

I would imagine we would see Sutter with Dziurzynski and Stransky. They looked AMAZING in the last preseason game agaisnt Regina. I don't see why that line would be broken up for now.

Is that Jerry's burger place very good? I am a burgerfan!

It's alright. Personally, I think there are better option:

1) Fuddruckers - best burgers. Choose between 1/3, 1/2, 2/3 or 1 pound burgers. You choose fixin's. Minigolf, batting cages, gaming area also.

2) Saboroso - Brazilian steak house.......amazing. $37 gets you all you can eat at sides buffet table & meat(Rodizio). Servers bring you meat on large skewers with beef, chicken, pork, lamb & pineapple. Also interesting menu options.

3) The Keg steakhouse - obvious steakhouse choice.

4) Carver - Higher end steak steakhouse with higher prices.

Pub/Sports bars

1) Downtown - Winston's - food is average but tons of beer on tap or bottled

State & Main - good food, lots of tv's & near river

Rook & Raven - higher end pub, different food than your average pub food, can pair beer & wines with food choices.

2) Broadway/8th st. - Yard & Flagon - good pub food, great beer & wine choices, should have roof top patio open come mem cup time(hopefully snow is gone)

- Original Joes - same food as state & main, large patio

There are tons of choices, these are my fav's. Others will give you some different options. Don't go by urban spoon reviews.......some of those people who review are crazies or the compition trying to drive people away from these places.

Fuddruckers! They shut the Victoria location down almost 2 decades ago. I was not aware that they still existed. Staying at the Travellodge near the arena(love the waterslides)!

Thanks man!

Same deal here in Regina. Shut down years ago. Saskatoon is the only location left in Canada. Still a large chain in the US though.

Though a 10min drive would be ideal, I'm glad the only location left is only two hours away :thumb:
