Date Night During A Cleveland Winter #2: HOCKEY!!
When is the last time you went to the Quicken Loans Arena for something OTHER THAN a Cavs game? I know, I know…Although I’ve been my fair share of concerts there in the past few years, I’m guilty of being Cavs-centric too. BUT there’s a huge variety of shows and other fun events going on there all the time, including our very own Lake Erie Monsters!

Yes, we have a hockey team. Is is kind of sad that I can remember going to the Lumberjacks games back in the days of the Gund when I was a little blondie? Sheesh…I’m getting old.
Anyways, going to a Monsters game is another fabulous, snowy, winter date-night activity in this lovely city of ours! Lucky for me, I won a pretty posh ticket package through Positively Cleveland. Just another reason for me to love them dearly. Although, after the fun we had, I’d definitely purchase more tickets myself for another fun night out!
The night started off with lots of lots of snow…I’m sure you know what I’m talking about. We went this past Friday, with all the “snowpocalypse” warnings out. I invited Jason and Kelton to come with me, and since I won 2 tickets, we just bought another one.
TOTALLY WORTH IT.

Everyone had a blast! Not only was the game action packed, but the fans were totally into it. The game was also filled with lots of fun intermissions, kind of like the Cavs games. They had all the local mascots there, Lake Erie Monster dancers, contests, give-aways and a great in-arena host! They even put on the Cavs overtime after the Monsters game for everyone to watch. (The Monsters lost, but the Cavs won in OT!!)

Kelton, Jason and I got special access to the Platinum Lounge with all the free food and drinks we could handle, thanks to Positively Cleveland. I also got free parking in the East Garage, which was way convenient for me since I hate being cold. 
The Lake Erie Monsters hockey games are just one more reason to be #HappyinCLE, so why not try checking one out a on the next snowy Cleveland night you have free. It’s a great date night idea and/or fun for a family visit too. While you’re free, also stop by Positively Cleveland’s website and tell them what makes you happy in CLE+ for a chance to win 1 of their prize packages!
