Review of TD PLace new Landsdowne Parc

Was there for the NHL 100 Classic outdoor game bet...

Was there for the NHL 100 Classic outdoor game between Ottawa and Montreal. Living in the west end, TD Place is not convenient. No parking available - we lucked out and got amazingly close in the surrounding neighbourhood - 2 min walk. Many restaurant choices, but obviously not enough for the masses of people given the outrageous lineups at every location and it was a cold night to be standing outside before sitting outside for a long time! Despite relatively good seats, at outrageous price, it was a terrible location for a hockey game - too far away from the rink to see well enough. Others were too low down to see. And it was simply too cold. Terrible washrooms. Uncomfortable seats. I'll take the CTC and its problems any day.
