Panthers' BankAtlantic Center at Stadium Journey
by Donny Rivette on Mar 30, 2010 10:16 PM EDT
Our own JohnnyB took a few moments to put construct a solid review of the Panthers' BankAtlantic Center in Sunrise, Florida.
"The subject of fans can be a touchy one. There are a lot of transplants in South Florida, particularly from New York and Massachusetts, and a lot of Canadians spend winters here. Consequently, Rangers, Canadiens and Leafs games feel like home games for the visiting teams. However, the team has been here a number of years and as youth hockey becomes more popular and more transplants raise children here, it seems that every year more of the Rangers fans have kids sporting Panthers gear."
Keep in mind, the new "Den of Honor" was not yet completed at the time of publication. My own fault it wasn't posted sooner. Caught up in the playoff race and all.
Great stuff from Johnny and a rather enterprising concept at Stadium Journey.
