HSBC Blue Zone…Making Arena Seats Unnecessary Since 2010

January 27th, 2010

Tired of sitting in the cold hockey arena on plastic seats? Warm up with a beer from one of four Dual EXACTAPs and hang out at the Blue Zone instead!

After a most generous invite for four to the Sabres game last week, I was able to sneak a few pictures of fans enjoying the now-finished Blue Zone (HSBC Arena; Buffalo, New York USA). The tickets were passed out to the DigitalDispense office headquarters employees on a battle to the death basis, and by that of course I mean that only four of us could actually go. Here’s what we saw:

DNC Does Duals

Buffalo likes beer, HSBC Arena likes EXACTAP

Last week, amidst lasertron ‘cyber sport’ matches (yes, ndt went), 6 Dual EXACTAPS were installed into the HSBC Arena.  Delaware North, US caterer giant, maintains the concessions and purchased the units as part of a direct draw system.

While the Dual EXACTAP is a staple in many European venues….

the configuration was tweaked a bit to work with their cooler by adding an inline fob sensor and a newly engineered recirc kit.  Both Keith & JB lended their expertise to make sure the installation ran smoothly before dominating on the cyber sport court.

…And just in case you were wondering, honorable mentions go to Carlo Petermann and Sean Crowe for impressive game-time stats.
