My kids and g-kids drove down to Hershey to watch the WBS Pens play the Hershey Bears. These are snapshots my son shot (no PP). They demonstrate the atmosphere in this unique venue. Attendance was reported at 17,000. The kids said they had a great time.

These were taken with a Canon PowerShot S3 IS. Comments welcome.

Would've had more game pics if he was closer to the action. But being halfway up the bleachers wasn't a great spot to get them. Too far. These were meant only to display the atmosphere of the annual outdoor classic played every year in both AHL and NHL. According to the news, the players look forward to this event, and even though they are playing to win, they really enjoy the atmosphere. The fans, even though so far from the action, have a lot of fun too. They especially have a great time tailgating before the game.

I'm working some other action pics taken in the areana. Keep watching. Thanks for looking.
