The pre-game portion of the party will feature music, interactive games and roaming entertainers stretching from Battelle Plaza through the District.
On the plaza, Sports Radio 97.1 The Fan's Common Man & T-Bone will broadcast live from 3-6 p.m. each game of the round. There will also be beer trucks, food items and bottled water available for purchase. Parties begin three hours before puck drop and game tickets are not required to attend.
