The only suit responsible for that (and many other Canadian teams) is Gary Bettman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanadianRugby Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 Also, it's not a hockey vs soccer thing. It's a Vancouver thing. Look at Winnipeg fans, they're sick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So does every other team in the league, it doesn't seem to bother the suits in places like Montreal, Winnipeg, Chicago, Nashville, Philly, N.Y. and on and on.

Funny, before luxury suites, ads on boards, it was the fans paying at the gate, buying merchandize, watching on TV and Radio. Pretty sure without the regular fans all the corporate support would leave the team without 8000 seats, and we'd look like Arizona or Florida. Don't think a team would survive for long without fan support PERIOD. Where do you think the money from TV and Radio revenue comes from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's gotten a little out of hand with the behaviour policing. This 100%, I don't drink at games(I've never had a beer in my life). Last time I sat in the lower bowl I sat down and yelled "Alright, Go Canucks!" and 5 suits in their 50's turn around and gave me a dirty look. Like it's a effing sporting event ffs, not a corporate shindig were you can woo your effin clients. Rogers Arena is the worst place in the NHL to go, watch and root for your team, the atmosphere is non-existent. After that I vowed never to buy a ticket unless things drastically changed.

BlackRedYellow Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 No thanks to soccer fans in hockey. That's not the solution. (Even though I know there's not the best of times at Rogers right now. But hey, these things tend to go up and down. With better players, more wins, it'll come back!) The best atmosphere is the one that gets alive on it's own when something happens on the ice, when the crowds gets going. That's real temper and support. Not a group of fans just singing songs all the game regardless of what's happening on the ice. Unfortunately we have that in Sweden now. What it really does is that all others stops cheering. Like fully stops, and "rely" on the fans in one corner. It's not "real" and it doesn't follow the flow of the game. If I want to hear a choir sing, I'd rather go to a musical, opera or a soccer stadium where that is needed in a slow tempo sport. When a brawl, goal or just exciting play happens on the ice and the whole barn just stands on the feet and cheer or shout, THAT is the best feeling ever. It's real and I'm ok with that it won't happen in all games. Some games just aren't worth getting excited about. But when it happens, it can be insane. I was at the Rogers the first 4 games last season, and no one can tell me that those games were boring. The atmosphere in all 4 games at the end were unbelievable!!!

TimberWolf Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 Weird, every game I've ever been to I've never had a problem. I yell and cheered and whatnot, though respected the youth around me and didn't scream obscenities. No security ever asked me to tone it down, no dirty looks from other fans (they were cheering too) Didn't see anyone else having a problem with security either. And let's not bring up how awesome Winnipeg fans are since only one of us has lost a team due to a lack of support and it wasn't Vancouver. Most Vancouver fans are great. Culturally we may not be as noisy as other cities anymore but we're still some of the best fans in the game. I can't think of any other team that loses as much as us and still has this level of devotion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thepress83 Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 I've been enjoying games more since I moved from the lower bowl to the upper bowl. Having more money to spend on beer definitely helps but I'm hoping section 330 is even rowdier this year than 307 was last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aardvark Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 I just got back from a few weeks in Korea. Went to see a Doosan Bears baseball game in Seoul and was amazed at how active the crowd was. They just wouldn't shut up! Constant cheering and chanting. It was a lot of fun.

IBatch Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 20 hours ago, luckylager said: 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 What's stopping you from doing that now? In my experience ONE fan can turn the entire building into screaming fest. At least that's what it was like in the early nineties, every game we'd get loaded and come home the next day with a sore throat and a happy hang over, especially when we won. Really not much has changed other than I remember the games now mostly because I need to drive home. I haven't been there in a decade, spend my hockey tickets at the Sens game. The atmosphere there is always positive and upbeat, and a hearty banter between the blue and green in the crowd and the sea of red. The last game I went to in Vancouver was with a friend in North Van. It was awesome. It saddens me to here that the TO epidemic of suits has entered your building. Paint yourself up, get loaded and get those suits off their phones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hairy Kneel Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 Hey remember that Journey song our arena sang last year? I think we have the makings of fun stuff but the piped in radio music drowns all the good stuff out. (And the overzealous bouncers) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus, all the angry glares from uptight suits who look down on fun, makes me angry. No fun atmosphere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
