About Me

Friday, 11/19

Made it to Norfolk. Even drove by the arena where the Admirals play so I know how to get there. Triple checked to make sure there was a game.

Good game at the Scope this evening with the Norfolk Admirals taking on the San Antonio Rampage (great name).

Notes:

The arena is called Scope. From the outside, it reminded me of a spaceship. It is circular.

On the inside, the lights around the rim and the ceiling also remind me of a spaceship.

All seats were cushioned, though quite tight in arm and leg room.

This photo was taken during warm ups. There was a pretty full crowd for the game.






Some Grrrowl fans may remember this player. Ajay Baines, now captain of the Admirals.

Once thing I noticed about his play was he stood in front of the net, especially noticeable during the power play.

The AHL does not have a half face shield requirement.

The Admirals ended up winning in a shoot out.



They had Pee Wee hockey as entertainment between periods. This little fellow was adorable. Didn't give up a goal! But, then again, didn't have any to face. 'Twas quite enjoyable.



Admirals win in a shoot out, 4 - 3.


Game Twenty - Scope
Admirals vs. Rampage
Score: Admirals 4 - Rampage 3
