Who Wants To Attend Tech CU Arena Grand Opening?
Anybody free tomorrow?
The San Jose Barracuda are celebrating the grand opening of Tech CU Arena.
San Jose Hockey Now is going and inviting a subscriber to accompany me throughout the event.
The grand opening will include a first look at brand-new Tech CU Arena, a ribbon cutting, a tour, an open ice skate, and refreshments at the new Calder’s Sports Bar.
Doors open at 3 PM and will feature a special ceremony with San Jose Sharks president Jonathan Becher, San Jose mayor Sam Liccardo, and Tech CU president/CEO Todd Harris.
If you’re interested, drop a comment below. I’ll pick someone at random at 10 PM PT tonight.
(UPDATE: Congratulations, erikthered92! You’re coming to the grand opening with me. Thanks to everybody who expressed interest.)
