Eh, by the 28th they may have some more items in there. I think the STH tours are this weekend and would be shocked if they didn’t get to see the locker rooms. Do you know if there will be a cap on the number of tickets sold? I’d imagine there would have to be.

Locker rooms are hallowed ground, Tony - can’t let everyone who pays $5 bucks go stomping around in it.

especially on the Pens logo on the floor that the players don’t allow anyone to step on

Guys, I’m telling ya, it’s absolutely empty….
It was easy enough to say “don’t step on the logo” when they took a picture of my son and I in there….

I’m thinking there was an exception for you Tony when you were invited or your request was accepted, as you were a party of two, missed the previous invitation for a tour, and then given a private tour.

Nah, as far as I know, every tour up until now included the locker room and the other areas (hydrotherapy, workout, lounge, etc.)....
I’m sure they’re just worried about the crowds…

The pittsburg penguins have the ugliest jerseys.
I didnt mind when your colors where black and yellow. But what genius was brainstorming colors to use and he landed on black and vomit from pea soup.
Haha, you guys lost Sergei Gonchar. and overpaid martin and that other guy.
Your team has taken a step back. And how did you guys not make it to the finals last year. The east is so easy. If the Wings, Sharks or Vancouver were in the east they would win the presidents cup every year.

Three posts in a row, same dumbass comments. Either write something constructive or don’t write anything at all.
And it’s “Pittsburgh”, college boy.

from a Poster on lgp.com said this Tony !
I ran in to my ticket rep and asked why anyone was not allowed in the locker room or suite 66. He told me some of the people were allowed in there and they started walking on the ice so they shut it down. It amazes me how people ruin good things. Besides that the finished product is amazing. This place was built for hockey thats for sure.

That’s too bad, the memorabilia in Suite 66 is incredible to see…... They could have easily just put up a couple of ribbon gates and kept the knuckleheads off the ice….

For the record, I disagree with not showing the locker room areas on these tours, especially considering you have to pay $5 to go, albeit for charity….
I was just in there Monday, there’s nothing in the locker room yet, it’s empty….
Just my .02….
