Hmm, I thought it had to do with global warming.
Economy kept Wings’ seats empty..........
It’s not because they suck?
“but I agree with his complaint that there’s too much English music being played during hockey games at the Bell Centre. If you go to most arenas across North America, you hear the same music. It’s occasionally racist, sexist or in bad taste,”
I’m sure this sensitive liberal whould love it if they played some Anne Murray and Celine Dion at the hockey games.
Absolutely. The Pistons charge far less for playoff tickets. It’s often commented upon in Michigan that for two people to go to a game, it’s at least around $200 for the tickets, and then there’s parking and food, etc.
Hockey Ticket prices in general are just too pricey... When your “cheap seats” are $50 and up, during the regular season you aren’t pricing yourself for the masses, pure and simple.
OMG that is one funny/sick clip.
oh god I’m crying. Canadian humor at its best.
Ever since the Red Wings started winning regularly, their prices shot up and tickets became nearly impossible for an average schmuck like me to get. (you have to KNOW somebody...)
The Tigers, on the other hand, have been lousy for so long, their prices have stayed low and have even dropped some. And you don’t have to be a corporate exec. to get them. On a nice day I can take the kids down and enjoy watching somebody whoop the Tigers while we eat our hot dogs and peanuts...
Every Play-off Game is “sold-out”. People didn’t go because they suck.
I don’t like games where the neutral zone trap kills the offense. However, I love games where there is lots of shooting, but low scoring (in other words, spectacular goaltending with a couple of clankers off of the posts thrown in). Some hard hitting is good, too.
I did not know that people go to Hockey games for the music!!!
You mean the fans right?
they sure do
Don`t know if it`s the ticket price or not but
I do know this is the fastest team I`ve seen since
the Oilers of the 80`s with the likes of Gretzky, Kurri,
Coffey who made other teams look like they were skating
in slush.
The Red Wings are exciting and amazing to watch. The
team is playing at a whole...nutha...level.
I’ve loved hockey ever since I was a little kid. I now live within 50 miles of Detroit. But I wouldn’t ever consdier going to a Red Wings game because they play at Joe Louis Arena, and I’d never know if my car was going to be intact when I got back to it. Sorry, but THAT’s the truth.
Let’s export Michigan’s economy to the rest of the nation and elect a Dem President to go along with the D legislature.
Nah, if you park in the garage you’re ok. Just budget an additional 90 minutes to get out of it after the game. Big cooler of beer worked for me.
finally gave up on insulting the team.. now your coming after the fans? :P
