There's a bear in the air!

The Gamblers Teddy Bear Toss game Saturday night was a huge success along with a huge crowd. In fact, both were records! A franchise record crowd of 6,785 people tossed a record 6,021 teddy bears. There are some great photos in a gallery on the Press-Gazette's Web site. One bear was about 6 feet tall....looked like a giant panda! Kudos to everyone who participated. If you haven't been a part of the event yet, do yourself a favor and come to the Teddy Bear Toss game next season....you won't be disappointed. I've never seen so many smiles on kids' faces after tossing their bears onto the ice.

We got through Motley Crue ....wow, what a concert. Talk about a real rocker with lots of pyro!

Toby Keith is tonight...the crowd will be a bit larger for this one. Tomorrow night is the Gamblers Teddy Bear Toss night and it's trending pretty strong for ticket sales. A sell out is not out of the question. If you're on the fence about going, I wouldn't wait too much longer. Should be a great game with a great atmosphere! We're hoping to collect 6,000 teddy bears!

Crue, Toby and Bears!

It's 5:30 on Thursday night and the doors are just opening for the Motley Crue concert at the Resch Center. Several people arrived early to get a prime spot in the pit. The stage is pretty impressive and the place will be rocking tonight!

We get to do it again Friday for the Toby Keith concert in what will be back to back concerts. Saturday night and Sunday are Gamblers games. The Saturday night game is Teddy Bear toss and tickets are going pretty fast. It could very well be a record Gambers crowd....we're hoping for 6,000 bears on the ice once the Gamblers score their first goal.
