On Thursday, October 10th, 2024, the Washington Capitals kicked off their 50th Anniversary with Caps 50 Fest.
Caps 50 Fest featured the 2024-25 Capitals team, along with 70+ alumni, special panels hosted by Joe Beninati, and a concert by Third Eye Blind. We would also be treated to a special appearance by the Stanley Cup as well.
Overall it was good event. Third Eye Blind put on a spectacular show, and the panels were fun and insightful. The only downside was the lack of interaction I got to have with the Alumni, especially since they were the ones I was looking forward to meeting the most. I got to meet Olaf Kolzig very briefly before he did an interview, and I got my picture with Aaron Volpatti (who is a really cool dude). I really wish the alumni were more accessible than they were. (Note: I had a General Admission Floor ticket. I understand that the alumni were more accessible to the VIPs, but for General Admission ticket holders I felt was a bit more restrictive.)
