Looking for inexpensive entertainment on a budget, love hockey? Why not check out if there's an ECHL team in your area. It's minor league hockey but it is entertaining for any family.
Here in Phoenix we have the RoadRunners. They play at the US Airways Arena in downtown Phoenix, 3rd Street and Jefferson. Our tickets are $8.00 a game, which is less then a ticket to a movie. They have all kinds of snack foods that are in some cases less expensive then a movie theater too.
Right now the Roadrunners are aware of the economy and they are willing to work with families, groups and etc. on reducing their prices. I'm sure if the RoadRunners are offering deals that other sport venues are doing the same in a town near you.
My husband and I love going out and seeing our favorite hockey team and friends that show up to every game. Sometimes you need to clear your head and getting out doing something fun once in a while. You'll be glad you did, even my son-in-law goes with us once in a while.
I've added a video of my husband down the ice. It was a fun night. Unfortunately, the Runners lost tonight but we still had a good time.
