Naming rights for everything..... new arena

[rocketdoctor]

FFIJL - this is an awesome post!

 

 

I think we should have some fun with this idea!!!

 

Let's see how much we can raise!

 

16,000 seats at $5000 each there a quick 80 million - memorial/naming seats

How many suites/boxes in the new arena plan?

 

Urinals - with the players faces -  Tikkanen, McSorely, Marchand, Doughty, that tool up north that Matty upsets.

 

Toilets - reserved for refs and linesman.   "Kelly Fraser crapper."  "Doughnut Hole"

 

Stairs - each stair with a name on it

 

"All done in the best possible taste!!"

 

 

Get creative guys and girls let's here your ideas

I loved that too. Hockey's supposed to be fun. It's such a better environment having fun and not 10,000 hockey experts pretending to diagnose everything.

In Detroit, there's a guy that comes in his zebra stripes, complete with helmet. It's hilarious. Everyone loves it.

Compare that to my little town of Sarnia. I took 6 peewee jr Sting players to a Legionnaires (0ne below OHL, jr b) game 2 yrs ago. I had them, then gave them space in the 2nd period and stood at the railing above to make sure the little Satoshi Nakamotos weren't out of line. They weren't, they were cheering hard and laughing their butts off. The 2 older dudes a couple rows down started trying to parent them. I let it go until the 2 older dudes got stupid. I came down and said, "wtf is the problem"?

At least 6 adults sitting above the boys I was watching said, "Them. Are the kids with you? They're hilarious". While pointing at the older 2 dudes.

While the 2 were telling me to move them. Not a chance.

It's supposed to be fun. It's your night out. Being overly-critical is a giant drag.

Having said that, how much to just decorate the visitors dressing room in 3D plumes of smoke from a tire fire?

Thanks for that. I just figured with sponsors on the helmets the tip of the iceberg why not get a jump on the rest before the big corporations get in there?

 

That being said, is there any local rumors on potential arena names?  Anything other than Rogers or Bell would be nice.

Flames should launch a Flames Crypto Token.

 

- 600-million total supply all released at once at $1 per coin to fund the construction of the new arena.

- Tokens have no real cash value (Chuck-e-cheese coins) but can be spent at the new arena.

- Token holders have voting rights.  The more tokens you hold, the more votes you get.  Obviously no managerial/player personnel decisions but maybe for things like fan appreciation events, themes, etc.  Maybe only token holders get rights to attend fan appreciation events.  Maybe vote on if the Flames should retire certain player's numbers, etc.  Maybe vote on a new mascot.  Maybe token holders get free NFTs, autographed stuff from players, etc.

 

Am I talking to the wrong crowd here?  This is not as fun?

In this day and age of social media (with the help of impatience probably) theres always whispers and rumors flying around pre maturely

I'm probably not the target demographic for these type of ideas as I cant grasp the whole crypto and NFT thing but it could be a great to gain interest from the types that normally wouldnt take an interest in sports.

Welcome to the Onlyfans.com arena.  For an extra $7.99 a month you'll get access to the exclusive "benefits" membership provides.

 

 

Hang on........on a serious note could you sell monthly/annual club memberships geared for non-season ticket holders?  Deals on merch, monthly draws for box seats, meet and greets, etc.  Or is that already a thing?

what if instead of opening the in stadium restaurant to season ticket holders, they sell tickets to the restaurant and fans can watch within it. Not directly in the stands but everyone is there for a good meal, pub drinks and a game atmosphere. It’s an overrated pub but if fans want to be close to the action, they can go there for extra tickets. Maybe the rich business people would like to entertain their clients.

At the new Little Caesar's Arena in Detroit, the ground concourse is massive with a wide open area up front of restaurants, pubs. Not 1. Several. And then of course pizza.lol

No reason why all of that space can't become a restaurant hub. Has to be more than just an event centre. That area needs that. There's presently the casino and arena restaurant. That HAS to change.

So in design, keep the ground level really accessible for patios etc. Make it a food hub. Restaurateurs would cover their year in Stampede alone.

Edmonton's isn't bad, but the ground level, that's an arena, not a hub for anything in the nice weather.

That's my take. We aren't allowed to tailgate, like everywhere else in the free world is allowed to, so open it all right up with all day restaurants.

Show up at 3 for a 7pm start, no big.

It can't be just an arena. Especially in that area that desperately still looks like 1972.

I remember seeing a game stream from Detroit not long after the arena opened and it looked like the players concourse went right by the glass walls of the pub/restaurants so the patrons get up close to the players as they go to the ice. I thought that was an amazing idea and a similar idea should be utilized on any new design.

There's a ton of great features. From going there lots to Edmonton's a few times, the Pizza Palace wins in a landslide. The biggest thing for me is Edmonton built up and Detroit dug down. I've been in the nose-bleeds at both. Edmonton almost gives you vertigo being so high up, Detroit isn't noticeable at all.

The Ilitch's spared no expense and claimed to have scoured the league's arenas for the best features. Mission accomplished. Edmonton is generally a giant hockey stadium that doesn't really offer much in non-event/off-peak hours. The Pizza Palace blends in with a bunch of pub/restaurant frontage. Comerica Park, Ford Field, Fox Theatre and the Fillmore are all right there, so way too easy keeping busy. With Calgary's location, they need to make it a hub, a reason to go, outside of hockey. It's an LRT stop, close enough to downtown business. The stampede grounds have lots of events outside of stampede, but it's a pita to get food & drink. You have to wander down 17th Ave. It shouldn't be that way. It's kinda dumb for thousands of people to have to go for a walk for an actual restaurant or pub.

It IS creative, for Canada, to be able to get your jag on at the arena before a game. If you try to tailgate with alcohol, the police come and you get fined. Canada is the only 1st world country with no open alcohol in public laws. Like, not even a picnic in the park with a bottle of wine. It's pretty sad.

we changed that here in Vancouver. With Covid (early in the pandemic) and restaurants closed, the city designated 5 parks to be allowed to drink in. I don’t know if they opened anymore up. But it’s nice to be able to bring a few to a park on a bike in summer and just relax.

 

Canada needs to get with the times. That includes selling liquor in corner stores…

Without question. I spent a couple of years in England and lots of time in the US. We can smoke the jazz cabbage out in the open, but can't have a beer under any circumstances.

How about 7-11 selling drinks in store.

No, I don't mean beer to go.
