I must admit, I'm pleasantly surprised. Adam Sandler just announced that he will be going on a stand-up comedy tour across the U.S., with 4 of the shows to happen here in Florida. With his recent interest in dramatic roles, it comes as a bit of a shock that the Hollywood star has decided to do a stage show again. Do you have any idea what this could mean? The Hanukkah Song and other classics may soon be shaking the rafters at an arena near you!. Adam Sandler turned 56-years-old last week and he's showing no signs of slowing down. His firt show in Tampa will happen at Amalie Arena on November 6th, followed by Estero on the 7th, November 9th at the Hard Rock and November 10th at the St. Augustine Amphitheatre. Tickets for all of the shows will go on sale this Friday at 10 a.m. through Ticketmaster. Sandler was a member of the Saturday Night Live cast from 1990 to 1995 and has been in over 40 movies and TV shows since then. Sandler stars in a film currently, called Hustle. The movie is about an aging sports scout who recruits an overseas player. You can see the movie on Netflix right now.
The Adam Sandler Live tour kicks off in Allentown, Pennsylvania on October 21st and ends a month later in Georgia. Sandler says the tour will include a special guest, but he is keeping that person's identity a secret for now. Source: News-Press.com

Amalie Arena Will Host Sandler This Fall

Ice Going In Today at Amalie Arena for 2022-2023 Season

A sure sign that another hockey season is about to begin is ice installation day at Amalie Arena. I got to take a first-hand look at the process. I learned some pretty interesting stuff - like did you know the ice the Tampa Bay Lightning play on is only an inch and a quarter deep!?

Felt good to be back in the arena!

So weird to walk in and see it this empty!

This machine is about half the size of the Zamboni. It first lays down water. Then white paint. Then more water.

It sprays the water and paint in a fine mist to keep the ice dense.

We can verify their claims... if the Lightning use it, it must be the good stuff.

This is what it looks like when the white paint layer goes on before it's covered with more ice.

The logos are ready to come out and be put on the ice.

I think we need a few more of these. Especially the dark blue ones.

I'd imagine that Dunkin box is the most vital equipment.

Fortunately they didn't leave the water on.

It was FREEZING in the arena... but I guess that's the point.

In fact, they had to wait a couple days to get the arena cold enough after Rod Stewart's concert.

The Zamboni will be able to make its first run tomorrow once everything has set.
