Predict that crowd! 9/29/08 v.s Caps

Now that any idea of going to the Mets 1 game playoff is dead.:( I'll be amongst the crowd of 7,083.:nod:

is it going to be televised or broadcast anywhere?

7,084:naughty:

Probably not.

is it going to be televised or broadcast anywhere?Maybe on the internets.

7,084:naughty:I hope your prediction pulls a Mets and you miss by 1 digit.:rant:

Maybe on the internets.

i hope



1 dollar bob

my guess is 6 with myself and my friend included.

i'm going for the free club food.

Devils Ticket Programs (www.njdevilsticketprograms.com) YHN092908 for $10 tickets (not necessarily in the $10 ticket section either).

Oh yeah, heres my prediction: 6008

6,098

Maybe even lower

Maybe on the internets.
I doubt it. If there is no TV broadcast at all there is nothing for the internet sites to stream.

Couldn't they send out the in-house? Might be a pain to synch it with the audio, though, I guess it depends who, if anyone, is working a/v for the game.

I think with this one, they should just push the $10 tickets, ultimately, an open house would have been the best idea (just show up, and we'll let you in, and you can buy some season tickets), but if you can't do that, there's nothing wrong with charity, if they would let anyone know about it.

this would be a perfect way to kick off devilstv but that would make too much sense.

Predict that crowd! 9/29/08 v.s Caps

More then there will be at Shea!!. hahaha, I am sorry. I had to throw in one cheap shot amigo. I know you are hurtin today.

I cannot imagine how anybody could predict more then 5000 for this preseason game.

7,036

Predictions for preseason games are blah.

You did make a good point, the Mets demise will only help the Devils at the gate, if only by a little even.
A Mets playoff game on the same night as a Devils home game would result in a sparse crowd.

I would by into this if it were not a preseason game.

The fact the Mets are not playing has no relevance to the fact we play the Caps, lol, in a preseason game at the rock. Lets be serious. There will be maybe 5000 in the building.

I highly doubt the Mets season being over contributes to a spike in preseason attendance.

STH and STH only I think will be there.

6,005 my pick.

This is gonna be a tight contest with everyone guessing in the 6K range. I ordered 5 tickets through that $10 ticket deal. I'm curious to see where we end up. I say 6712.

After the Very Low attendance vs the Rangers, im going with 6,050 MAX. You really wish the Devils could bring more fans but hey, theres nothing you can do.

Who wants to go to preseason games? I'm a big fan, and 2 games of preseason is MORE than enough for me. And of those I prefer the earlier ones to see the prospects more than the later ones to see the NHL team trying to get their legs in games that ultimately dont matter. At the end of the day, preseason in ANY sport = mostly blah.

Agreed.
perfect statement about preseason (exhibition) games

5,500 Sadly I'm just to broke to spend money on preseason games. Gotta save up for some regular season action.

I will be going to the preseason game against the Isles on Friday, gotta have a tune up before the 10th.

I was not talking about this or any preseason game. But regular season games if the Mets were to advance to further rounds.

too many people still drunk from celebrating Favre's 6 TD's to drive to the game...

Well, you made a vague point in a preseason attendance thread. I thought you were talking about the upcoming home preseason games.

But we all know that Devils' season attendance gets a free pass until football season ends. :sarcasm:

and i hope 1 cowbell cause they rock!:yo:

Sorry to upset you, but I'll be skipping the rest of the preseason till the final home game against Philly.

Are you a STH? Where do you usually sit?

Good call, that was some kind of game to watch...

I am really considering making the 700 mile trip for the game on the 10th... REALLY considering it as in a jersey is in the car and a bag is packed ALREADY in case I can get the day off.

Ottawa had 17000+ fans in their opener.the leafs had 15000+ in their opener.

Comparing teams in Canada and NJ wouldn't be fair

Bad comparison. Hockey is tops in Canada.

the leafs had 15000+ in their opener.


Even though the leafs will sell out every game, we'll sell more total seats for the season. You know why?

Playoffs... yes we can haz them.

Why do people continue to compare a place where hockey is a way of life to a place where the NHL is behind NASCAR and Arena Football in terms of coverage?

4,875

8,536?! I guess a ton of people gave away their tickets to this game since it was the "free" game, but I can't believe the posted number was higher than it was for the Rangers. I guess no Mets to compete with helped :cry: Or maybe a lot of people saw the $10 deal and took advantage of it.

And DevilBesideYou wins AGAIN, with the highest posted number though it was 1,000 or so short :p:

I've never met a single person that lives in NJ that cares about NASCAR and there is virtually no coverage of it in the market (the only coverage is national coverage).

There may have been more people there. Keep in mind that it was the youth hockey night and they definate sold some tickets for that and other tickets might have been donated... also possible the comps didn't get counted the other night, and that's why that game was lower than this one, since there were no comp slips.

I was there, and got my tickets through the youth hockey deal. They put me in the $115 seats, section 1 row 8. The lower level ends were 90% full, the club seats mainly empty and scattered people in the upper level, maybe 50 people in the mezzanine ends.

8,536?! I can't believe the posted number was higher than it was for the Rangers.

There werent "free" tickets to this game, and there were more people there for sure than the game against the Rangers, which shocked me. Especially since there werent those free vouchers. I expected there to be more ushers than people there tonight and was pretty surprised.

Unlike last weeks game vs the Rangers, the Youth Night's success would be in the fact that a vast majority of those kids have NO SCHOOL tomorrow. Sure, $10 seats help, but when parents dont have to worry about their kid sleeping through school, they're more likely to do it.

At least we don't have the worst NHL rink attendance for the preseason anymore. Congrats to the Coyotes for pulling in 7300 or so tonight.

Kids get Jewish holidays off now in NJ? They didnt when I grew up (and it werent none too long ago!!)

i guess it depends where you are in the state. when in school we always got the major jewish holidays off. i havent been out of school that long either.

as a teacher my district gives us 2 days for the jewish new year.

Almost 9,000 fans for a Monday night PRESEASON game is actually pretty good, considering that the Rangers have been bringing in the same amount for PS games.
