Vancouvertillidie Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 maybe this is just me but I always wonder if people wanted us to have an atmosphere more than just the fans cheering when makes some noise comes up on the jumbotron or when fin does Go Canucks Go. Maybe this is me just being more of a soccer fan than one of hockey but I personally think the games would be a lot more enjoyable if we even just had one section in the upper deck where you stood, sang songs and waved flags and just generally were allowed to be rambunctious sorta like how the southsiders are at whitecaps game.

luckylager Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 Back in the day you used to be able to get loaded, scream your face off and have as much fun as you wanted so long as you didnt swear or throw stuff. But then all these corporate suited up losers and their clients decided a hockey game is the place to go to show face, talk business and be uptight wankers. Fricken suits ruining everything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

inkorea Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 I watched a lot of hockey in Germany. Solution take the seats out of the two end zones in the lower bowl. Sell cheap season tickets in one end zone to Canuck fans that go to every game and are noisy, don't mind standing in close quarters. Give them a drummer and flags. The other end zone have the visiting teams fans. Take season tickets in the end zone away from quiet fans and encourage noise and chants. Have a pregame show that involves singing the same songs each game about vancouver stuff. Whenever a players name is announced only his first name is announced and the fans scream the last name in unison. Teach fans chants smarter and more complicated than go team go. Even consider the lower bowl opposite the club seats to also be parlty standing only with crazy fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Methane count gets prominent a little while after the hotdogs are eaten, and of course the inevitable bad calls by the officials. On a serious note, sure, having people sing would be great for some energy and making it fun. Might even help drown out those Habs and Leafs fans when they're in town.

Having fan zones in the ends was great. People were louder, rowdier, and got the crowd fired up. Plus beers were like 2 bucks... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McBackup Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 I'm all for a rowdy atmosphere but the idea of waving flags and singing songs and trying to copy soccer just sounds really cringy. It works for soccer because they have a culture and history built around it. I don't think it would work for hockey. plus nothing would piss me off more than paying hundreds of dollars for a seat and not be able to see what's going on because some idiot in front of me is waving a flag.

No, the ones that pay millions of dollars for luxury suites, and tickets in the lower bowl so we can pay our players the 70 million bucks a year along with other costs like the building etc.. without corporate support, we no longer have a team get it?
