I'm sure this has been mentioned many times in the past, and I'm surely not looking to make excuses for them, I really could care less about the Sens either way. But it blows my mind how in the middle of nowhere their arena is. This is over a decade ago so I'm sure the surrounding area has grown since, but we drove past there on our way to Montreal, and it was pretty much literally in the middle of farmer's fields. It's basically the arena version of Edmonton' s airport, it's insane.
I didn't even think it was their rink at first it was so in the middle of nowhere away from the city itself, I thought that can't possibly be it. Can't imagine trying to go to like a Monday night game that goes to a shootout or something, and that commute back home on a weeknight, no thanks. Suburban pro sports venues suck, and Ottawa's rink is exhibit A on that argument.
