For fans who were not able to purchase a ticket to the Home Opener, as part of the Opening Night Fan Fest, Galaxy Communications and the Utica Comets will provide a free Watch Party right behind The AUD, on Whitesboro St. Fans will be able to watch the game for free on a giant TV screen outdoors.

"We are happy to be able to accommodate the thousands that are at the Fan Fest that do not have a ticket to the game." Said Galaxy Communications President and CEO Ed Levine, "Now they will be able to watch the game with fellow Comets fans in a setting that is, to say the least, unique. It will be a first for the City of Utica."
