i've been to quite a few games... its great fun...

well. the ticket say turn up an hour before gametime.. and you'll need it... depends where your tickets are.. there might be a LOT of escalators to go up.. and up.. and up..

and you've never watched ice hockey on tv??? well.. it is 3 x 20 minutes, but with stops and then the breaks between periods, count on being there for at least 2 and a half hours..

the shortest that a game lasted for me, was 2hrs 20 mins... the longest was 3 hours 40.... (WOW!)

but. you can eat, drink and have great fun while you're there....

this may sound silly but could you arrange for the helicopter trip in the morning ? like most places the storms build up through the day as it gets hotter

its actually booked for Tuesday at 9am so thats a bit of luck. Like you say, hopefully it will be Ok at that time of day.

Anyway, off now for the dreaded 3 hour treck to Gatwick!

BA taxes fees and charges from Gatwick to JFK are £239.60 return, is there much chance of a return fare in the winter sale for £249.60 inc taxes fees and charges? Last promo they did was £299 incl.
