10 THINGS: Home Opener
Presenting: 10 things fans can look forward to on Saturday’s home opener, including their first Bud Light, Budweiser, select Bud Light Ritas, Pepsi or bottled water available at many concessions around XFINITY Arena.
ARRIVE EARLY!
Fans are strongly encouraged to arrive early tomorrow as doors to XFINITY Arena (southeast doors along Wall Street) will open at 5:30pm, for the 7:05pm game against the Spokane Chiefs. A limited number of great seats are still available for what is expected to be a large turnout at XFINITY Arena.
BANNER NIGHT
Celebrating the first U.S. Division title since 2006-07, and the fourth in club history spanning over a decade, the Silvertips will raise another banner to the rafters of XFINITY Arena – occurring in a special pregame ceremony before opening face-off.
BACK FOR MORE
While the Silvertips retain a noticeable core from last season’s squad, including Carter Hart, Noah Juulsen, Dawson Leedahl and Carson Stadnyk, several talented 1999-born players are in line to make a significant impact: including Riley Sutter, Connor Dewar, Jake Christiansen and Jantzen Leslie – all poised to make their regular season home debut.
GREAT GIVEAWAYS
The first 3,500 fans in attendance will receive a collectible magnetic schedule for the 2015-16 season, featuring defenseman Noah Juulsen, and presented by Lamoureux Real Estate and Sound Transit.
MUSIC TO OUR EARS
The Silvertips Concert Series for this season gets underway Saturday night, presenting live music from recording artists and Seattle’s own, “High Voltage.” The group, experienced in a variety of covers from The Beatles, Jimi Hendrix, AC/DC, Pearl Jam and more, are scheduled to perform inside XFINITY Arena before the game and during the first and second intermissions.
ENTERTAINMENT CENTER
The Everett Silvertips will be unveiling 2015-16 introduction video and centerpiece to its entertainment experience for fans inside XFINITY Arena: a brand new, state-of-the-art LED scoreboard which features a pair of LED rings at the top and bottom of the new four-sided panel board, allowing high-end technology to take over replays, statistics, graphics, in-game promotions, video and more.
A NIGHT THAT HITS CLOSE TO HOME
Silvertip Country is helping make a difference throughout Snohomish County, just by showing up tomorrow night. For each ticket package purchased up until 1:00 pm tomorrow through the Silvertips “Fill the House Night” offer, up to $7 per ticket will be donated to Housing Hope for low-income and disadvantaged families in need.
EAT, DRINK AND BE MERRY
Several concessions, popular to Silvertip Country, make their return for the 2015-16 season as suitable stops, no matter what age you are. The Ice Box Lounge, located on the east end of main concourse level, is our in-house bar open to all guests and provides a unique view to Silvertips game action. Several food concessions around XFINITY Arena are a perfect match for anyone’s taste, ranging from pizza, barbeque, pasta, Hawaiian, and more.
