I’m not a huge follower of hockey anymore, but it’s one of the most exciting sports you can watch live. I got a chance last week through work to sit in the “Ice Box” at Amalie Arena for the Lightning vs. Sabres game. People always say sitting on the glass is a whole different experience, which it certainly is, but sitting between the benches adds another layer of intensity perhaps only equaled by courtside NBA seats.
