cross16 Posted July 30, 2021 Report Share Posted July 30, 2021 For what it's worth, Ryan Pike of Flames nation says he has seen the inside renderings and he was impressed. I agree, the outside doesn't' really matter much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

travel_dude Posted August 4, 2021 Report Share Posted August 4, 2021 I don't love the look. Reminds me of a library. Is that a Covid shield on the outside on one side? Seems odd. Saying that, I don't think arenas should look like a drop of mercury. Functional is fine, if it has a little bit of curb appeal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robrob74 Posted August 5, 2021 Report Share Posted August 5, 2021 I dunno if I will ever watch a game there. I went to Calgary just to watch a game once and I tried to cheer and get the crowd going. And some guy yelled and told me to shut up and keep quiet. Trying to watch a game! I probably should have broke up with the Flames then and there!

I would imagine it used to be a place to conduct oil business or entertain clients. I think those days have mostly passed. Could be wrong. I did enjoy any games I watched there. Especially a BOA game. The press level seats seemed to be a bit noisier, but we aren't Smashville level. Not even close. Then again, we have played a lot of bland hockey. If it seems dull on TV, then in person effect isn't much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I probably should have broke up with the Flames then and there! i know what you are referring to but I did notice a distinct shift in crowd when the team fell on hard times in the early 00's. Many corporations gave up their season tickets and when the big ticket push was on "real " fans bought them.. so its been 100% better since then. Like JJ said we may not be rioters but games got more fun for sure after that . also when it really matters , it's insane.. went to one of the 2004 Finals games and my ears were ringing for a week . It was non stop deafening from puck drop to final buzzer 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was non stop deafening from puck drop to final buzzer I don't know what it was, but growing up going to games got a little maddening. I would watch games on tv of crowds going nuts after goals and then going to games and trying to do the same and getting dirty looks from people behind me if I stood up for a goal. I think the shift was definitely the '04 run and few seasons after. I equate it more to age and drunkedness of the crowd. The '90's and early 2000's drove the young adults and teens away, even in their good years they found ways to lose to teams they should destroy in the first round followed by the young guns era. '04 Made it cool again for the young people to pay $100 a seat and $5 a beer. But I think we are in another shift as the '04 jumpers have fallen off due to the lack of success or have other priorities in life, and the younger fans don't have any connection to '89 or '04 so aren't looking to pay $100 a seat or $11 a beer when they have other things to do. I think crowds are more energized now than when I was a kid, but still its not as good as it used to be. Even playoffs the energy has toned down quite a bit, I remember game 6 Vancouver in '04 and the crowd was still rocking after the Canucks went up 4-0 early in the 2nd, then 2 years ago in game 2 with a 1-0 series lead Colorado scores to make it a 1-0 game and it was quite dead. The young people need something to get excited about with this team, I don't even know if we have any regular posters here in the 18-25 range. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing I didn't like about PL was the vertigo-inducing walk. 3 of the last 4 games I saw there, I was given lower bowl upgraded seats by staff to fill it up a bit more.

In Tampa, they did a decent enough job of it. Operaman in VAN was better than Georgie. Almost makes you want to riot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
