Minor league teams can be the best value in sports . I can't recommend seeing the Ice Dogs enough. The tickets are a bargain, $2 dollar beers before the game, and the experience is all about the fans.
In between periods Spike gets out and puts on a show with the fans. Ice Sumo wrestling, prizes and even the chicken dance.
This was of all things "Star Wars" night. There was a group walking around in full costume taking pictures with the crowd. In front of me in this picture is a fully robotic remote controlled R2D2. The operator told me it cost over $5,000 to build it.
