I got invited to my first hockey game and though I am not a fan of hockey or any sport, I would like to go just to have the experience.
The game is in Tampa at the Amalie Arena, home of the Tampa Bay Lightning hockey team.
Now because I have never been to a hockey game before, I don’t know what to expect. To be honest, the only thing I know about the game is that the players sometimes fight, and it can get bloody. Besides that, I know that they are on ice and the guys play with a stick and a puck. I don’t care to learn about the game because this might be my only hockey game in my life, unless by some miracle I fall in love with it overnight. Anyway, prior to going to this stadium, I want to know what to wear. Specifically, I would like to know how cold it is inside. The game is at the end of September, so the weather will still be warm in Tampa, but if the air conditioner inside the stadium is blasting cold air, I will need to wear extra clothes or bring a jacket with me. So of course, I went online and did some research. And after a quick search, I found out that the temperature inside the stadium will be around 60 degrees. That is so cold, especially compared to the temperature outside. The weather in Tampa will still be warm, probably hovering between 85 and 90 in September. And walking into an air conditioned stadium that is 60 degrees is a big difference. I will make sure that I have a jacket with me because I don’t want to be cold during the game.
