Teri persuaded her friend Jodi to score some Caps tickets from her company who has season tickets. Teri and I met Jodi and Diane at the rink. We had no idea what type of tickets she had but assumed they were good. After a very long lunch at the green Turtle we headed up to our seats.
The tickets said "Player's Club #6". I wasn't even sure what floor that was on. We took the elevator from the Green Turtle entrance and the elevator man wasn't sure either but we got off at the right place. It turned out to be a secret level between the club and upper levels that served as an entrance to all the suits. We didn't have a suite per se but headed to the Player's Club. This turned out to be basically a lounge. We were directed to one of the suites that flanked the lounge area. It turned out we had the suite with about 15 other folks.
We had our on TV, server, and a nice bathroom. The four of us sat on bar seats overlooking the two rows of stadium seats for our suite. The server brought us drinks all through the game. On our speaker system we could either listen to the PA system or the radio broadcast. I happened to be sitting next to the switch. It was nice to get the play-by-play from the radio during the game. We even were served all through the 3rd period after they cut off the rest of the stadium.
The Caps ended up pulling through after a tough scrap and continued their winning streak. I've been saying I wanted to hang in a suite all year after a few club level tickets. I didn't think it would actually happen.
