Opened as the Washington State Pavilion for the 1962 World’s Fair, the facility held “a ‘floating city’ showing how man will live, work and play in the coming century.” Naturally, it featured exhibits by Pan Am and General Motors. The arena saga is filled with more recent heartbreak. Seattle has been caught between minor league hockey and the Vancouver Canucks since. Their Seattle Ice Arena was demolished in 1963 and is now the site of the Olympic Hotel on University Street. While the Canadiens spent the rest of the 20th Century dominating the sport, the Metropolitans folded in 1924.
On Tuesday, the Kraken raised a banner for the 1917 Seattle Metropolitans, the first US team to win hockey’s championship Stanley Cup by defeating the Montréal Canadiens. It took some effort to get to this point. So here’s our take on what worked, and what didn’t. The folks that fill these seats are the ones who, over the course of twenty odd years, will decide how beloved (or loathed) the Climate Pledge Area becomes. We already like our neighboring ticket holders, and were happy to find they were on the same ticket plan. You get to see all the action, yell your head off, and have a few bucks left over for beers. Here’s a close look at what works, and what doesn’t, from the most important vantage point: my seats at the second home game of the season.Īs you can see from the feature photo, these are not the most expensive seats in the place, but I’m personally a fan of the front rows of the upper deck. Seattle has a brand new arena for a brand new hockey team, the Kraken. Now that the dust has subsided on construction and the glitter has settled on the opening night festivities, let’s get down to the brass tacks. Kraken would defeat the Montreal Canadiens 5-1 in their first home victory. Pre-game entrances for the Seattle Kraken at Climate Pledge Arena on October 26, 2021.
