There has been a buzz in the Arena District since the Blue Jackets clinched their first ever playoff berth last Wednesday. Numerous restaurants in the Arena District and around Columbus have stepped up to open their doors to Blue Jackets fans from all over to watch the games, whether they can’t make the drive to Detroit, or simply couldn’t score tickets to the home games in Nationwide Arena.
One of the more interesting options available to see the games is the Arena Grand Theater. Located just across the street from Nationwide, the Arena Grand will be projecting the playoff games onto their movie screens for the Blue Jackets faithful.
Admission is free, and parking in the adjacent garage is just one dollar for four hours or less. In addition to showing the game, there will be ticket giveaways, as well as contests for other Blue Jackets and Arena Grand merchandise. Hot dogs, popcorn, nachos, beer and more will also be available. For more information, check out their official website.
