They're already having issues with the smell around Rogers Place and the amount of urine in the streets, this is just going to exacerbate the situation.

It's really weird when the Leafs/MLSE can get something right relatively easily (Maple Leaf Square is filled with Raptors/Leafs fans every playoffs and the overflow crowd sometimes roll down Bremner for a couple hundred meters) but another place can't even figure out how to accommodate the urine of the fans inside their own damn arena.

Just to clear up any confusion, these $80 concourse tickets are not the same as standing room tickets that other NHL arenas put on sale for the playoffs where you get to watch the game, but you don't have a seat. These tickets get you in the building, but you don't get to see the ice (you can definitely hear the roar of the crowd though as you watch the game on a tv screen with a bunch of other yokels).

Just to clear up any other confusion...there are no hidden fees, that I could see, so this is a GO as far as I'm concerned!!

/No really this is ripoff. Just go to a sports bar and cheer with yokels there. WTF?!?

 

[Bloody Brian Burke]

I saw a good point elsewhere: imagine the already busy concession lines at intermissions and then throw in more people. Nice way to treat those "tier 1 fans" who pay hundreds for their ticket.

Certainly brings new meaning to the term "Orange Crush".

/By the way, the Denver Broncos called and they're not amused that the Oilers have stolen this phrase.

And in a sports bar you (hopefully) aren't paying 8 bucks for a hot dog and 12 for a beer.

Oilers gonna Oil...

I bought one of the new All-Access Alley Passes for tomorrow night's playoff opener in DC. It was $45 and while I'm not inside the barn itself, they do open the door periodically to throw out the trash briefly giving you access to the sounds and smells of the arena. You are also welcome to all the 1/4 hot dogs and popcorn bits at the bottom of the bucket you can handle. They even offer an exclusive VIP perk... used paper cups from the training and equipment team so you can taste the action!

Be one hell of a roller coaster!

 

[elocomotive]

Yeah, doesn't Edmonton know girth is more important anyway. Shouldn't really be a surprise though...

An Edmonton woman is urging buyer beware after she spent thousands of dollars with a matchmaking company but only went on a single date with a gap-toothed homeless man.

Val Taylor, 54, paid $7,344 for a membership with Edmonton Matchmakers at their office in Old Strathcona. A company salesperson promised to find her a match, but Taylor says her single suitor was hardly the man of her dreams.

'Very surreal experience'
The date was shorter than her five-foot-10 frame, unemployed and homeless, she said in an interview with CBC Radio's Edmonton AM.

"He was partially toothless," she said. "And during our coffee, he continuously chewed and destroyed plastic utensils. It was a very surreal experience."

Edmonton Matchmakers has issued a statement saying they apologize and wanted to make it known that they thought Daryl Katz would be a good match for Val
