NoShowWilly Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 it's about organization. The caps fans have the southsiders and a couple other smaller groups that get chants going. as a group they know what they are singing. they are easy to pick up on as well. Fans tend to participate if they know what is being said. However, being repetitive kills an atmosphere. Go Canucks Go 15 times a game is boring. LOUUUUUUU is stupid. It classes his top saves with dump-ins. he deserves/deserved to have actual ovations that were very rarely given because of it. The caps songs can transfer over. many are very simple. they are basic tunes anyone knows or can be understood in a few seconds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fubtastik Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Ditch "Go Canucks Go". Ditch it. Every Canadian Team does it except Edmonton. Come up with 2 or 3 original new ones and have the Scoreboard lead them. Chanting C-A-N-U-C-K-S would be cool. Also How about Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh for a save by our new number one? Come on, lets get something original done so that everyone who comes to the game can join in. We need something to go viral on youtube or something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharnhayre Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Cheaper seats does equal louder fans as its more of an affordable option for people. Everyone who can afford Canucks games are either entertaining clients or have their heads in their Blackberry phones writing emails. There are many actual fans at the games but not enough to make Caps noise. I love watching soccer games because of the fans... its such a great atmosphere.

John.Tallhouse Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 /user/90967-tortorellas-rant/">Tortorella's Rant is right. I have seasons tickets, and I'm definitely not screaming through every puck stoppage. Often the more into the game I am the quieter I get...because I'm doing everything I can to absorb what's going on. Something can be said for NOT being drunk, loud, and obnoxious.

dorrcoq Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 That right there is what we mean by suit. Look at the upper bowl, people cheering and screaming and outta their seats for everything. You just PROVED it wasn't exagerated, thank you . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dorrcoq Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 It's a shame how quite Rodgers Arena is. The Pacific Colosseum was a madhouse back in the day... You are correct, half the team is European. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canucksnhl Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 i agree, the nucks games are just full of rich old guys not even interested about the game because they just want to spend their money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tmajor Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 100% agree.. & its nice to converse with fans, of either team... without just be loud and obnoxious. last year I went to see the Canucks play the leafs @ the ACC (alone because my brother bailed on me) and I ended up sitting with a bunch of leafs fans, we shot the crap and razzed each other all night, it was all nice and friendly and no drunken stupidity.. had a great time!

Eh! Team Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 The atmosphere in Rogers Arena sucks. It's has nothing to do with beer or ticket prices, it's THE FANS. It doesn't cost a penny to cheer, believe it or not. If Canucks fans cheered as much as they complained, Rogers Arena would easily be one of the loudest. To bad we enjoy complaining so much.

ckamo Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 To those saying that soccer =/= hockey and that it can't be done: I'm not saying it's a good idea to start setting things on fire inside the arena(because it's a terrible idea...), but these guys are able to bring in the chants and stuff to hockey. Like someone said, it's all about organization...having chants/songs that everyone knows (other than Go Canucks Go). Even if you're not for bringing this atmosphere into the NHL, you have to admit, some of that stuff is pretty cool (again..not all..) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krazysl Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 So? What's wrong with going to the game and actually watching it and enjoying it as opposed to being some drunk hooligan in the upper bowl? I'm not a suit and I definitely don't cheer that much either. It is exaggerated because if you actually sit in the season ticket section, there really aren't that many suits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
