Kragar Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 The Flyers announced Tuesday that the Wells Fargo Center now has a "Disassembly Room," the first-ever "rage room" inside a major professional sports arena. Located behind a "hidden" library wall entrance in the team's new "Assembly Room" lounge and bar area, the anger cave allows Flyers fans to take out their aggression on household items like TVs, dishware, bottles and guitars using a variety of tools like baseball bats, orange and black sledgehammers and, of course, hockey sticks. https://www.espn.com/nhl/story/_/id/27802458/flyers-new-rage-room-lets-fans-smash-tvs-other-everyday-items There's been times I've wanted to embed the remote in the tv screen, but I wonder about this. Probably have better things to do with my money. Might be fun though! 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

milk and honey Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 35 bucks for 5min for one person or 60 bucks for 5mins for 2 people. A bit expensive but people will pay when they are buzz and mad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kragar Posted October 9, 2019 Author Share Posted October 9, 2019 This might be a great business opportunity the next time we make the SCF. Imagine a fleet of trucks/trailers/containers throughout downtown, where people could go inside and smash stuff safely and legally for a change! Might save the city a bundle. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could probably even walk away with a hefty surplus, allowing for a reduction of property tax. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toyotasfan Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 This Philly rage room needs a Santa Claus and some snowballs. I wonder if the Redskins old mascot Chief Zee is still around, throw him in there too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rekker Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 (edited) Great idea. They are doing things right over there. Also, Gritty is awesome and a homerun of a mascot. Edited October 9, 2019 by rekker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What if the Flyers let in more than one guy, and the fans started beating on each other? Do the Flyers make sure the fans aren’t drinking before? You are right about coming lawsuits. This is one of the dumbest ideas ever. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is one of the dumbest ideas ever. There's more details in the link. I kept it short to make it easier to post using my phone. These things exist elsewhere, and perhaps unsurprisingly seemed to originate in Japan. There is safety equipment, and I doubt more than a group of two can be in the same room at a time, but I don't know for sure. There is also an observation area, so others can witness the carnage. I'm sure the Flyers have protected themselves from a legal perspective as best they can. Good point on alcohol, though. My guess is they watch out for that, too.
