The Harlem Globetrotters EagleBank Arena Sport reviews
Winning with the Hogs
I was more than a little apprehensive about this game, having seen the Harlem Globetrotters look pretty bad two days previous. Despite the lures’ of cheap hot dogs, beer, sodas, and companion tickets, the arena was a far cry from its usual Friday and Saturday night crowd. If you sit on the far right end of 123, you get a pretty fair view of most of the ice excluding the corners where the glass curves around. The advantage of the smaller crowd was that the lines of sight for disabled persons are better, except when a fight breaks out, of course.
In an even more exciting turn of events, the Harlem Globetrotters looked like a much better team, getting sticks and bodies into the defensive zone and being much more aggressive in terms of hitting. The offense looked a little crisper too. This is particularly true when the team gives fans with tickets to one weekday game the chance to get free tickets to the next weekday game if they win. It wasn’t a perfect game, but a win is a win. When the Harlem Globetrotters win, so do we.
