Another great blog Stewy. My two favorite barns were both "old school" arenas: the now demolished
Spectrum in Philadelphia (in which I spent more than 2,000 nights between 1967 and 2009), and venerable
Hersheypark Arena in Hershey, PA, the home of the
AHL Hershey Bears from 1936 to 2002, where I spent over 400 nights.
