ericpnelson Posted April 19, 2019 Posted April 19, 2019 You want to take away reasons for people to get out of their seats? Roaming beer guys/gals. Probably screws up sight lines. Biggest problem for me not being engaged at games is you are kind of treated like a stick in the mud if you dont want to race the end bars at every intermission. And if you end up there, inevitably there's some who never want to leave. Im sure there's nothing that can be done due to the amount of revenue, but i dont see how that isnt part of the problem. 1 2 Quote

My season tickets in the early 2000's were at the end of the row. I'd be up and down to allow passers-by back to there seats upwards of 15-20 times a game, not including the end-of-period breaks.

SiouxFan100 Posted April 19, 2019 Posted April 19, 2019 They could curtain off the upper section and cut capacity in half old ralph with Kermit - ok not so much Kermit When we had to sneak in alcohol and varmits Quote

Seriously, one thing that could change easily is that incessant mood-killing crap coming over the PA during every break. If play stops during an exciting stretch dominated by the Sioux, you can count on the PA to take the crowd out of it with blaring music or a commercial. Those who were in Vegas can see the difference. The DJ thinks it’s all about him. God forbid the crowd make some noise or enjoy the moment, instead blast them back into their seats. Colleges have bands, use them They do the same at Blue Jackets games. Never allow the crowd to get into the game. The sadist DJ thinks the crowd is incapable of being part of the game and blows he place up past jet engine decibel level at every single break. It literally wears you out. People bring ear plugs to the games. 1 1 Quote

SiouxHawkGuy Posted April 21, 2019 Posted April 21, 2019 Soooo we should go bat !@#$ crazy after the National Anthem to THUNDERSTRUCK.... I know waiting for the color guard to walk away is a thing of respect, but watching NHL playoffs today it seems to me they go straight into music. If the band played or if there was a song going into puck drop it would get things going off to the right start eh? 1 Quote

Although see the the exploding triggered heads of the denim overall clad brethren to the south would be enjoyable.... There is possibly nothing in the world of sports as overdone, stale, and cringy as yet another team using thunderstruck pregame. Quote
Popular Post Gma loves hockey Posted April 21, 2019 Popular Post Posted April 21, 2019 I miss the Old Ralph atmosphere, I swear there were times you "felt" the next goal coming!! The new Ralph started out in part as a "social" thing to do, lots of out of town fans don't want to take a chance on coming and not getting in. When the kids next to you look up from their phone and ask "what period is this" you just want to ...........!!! Yes, I am loud and obnoxious at the games, and no apology coming either! I go for the game, not to be seen. Only suggestion, add another camera game ( i.e. kiss cam) marked " Missing in Action" showing people on their cell phones and not watching the game!! 5 Quote
90siouxfan Posted April 21, 2019 Posted April 21, 2019 maybe the ability to hack the phones in the rink would be an interesting twist.... Quote

I attended an Islanders game when UND was in town to play at MSG. They zero in on folks in the crowd who are on their phones and then start a countdown clock to see how long it takes that person to look up/pay attention to what's going on, and they realize they are on the big screen. Needless to say, most folks were a little embarrassed. 3 5 Quote

It literally wears you out. People bring ear plugs to the games. Nailed it. The announcer at the UND games sounds like an auctioneer trying to cram as many announcements/ads in as possible anytime play stops. Not sure how much of that is mandated of him and how much it's him liking the sound of his own voice. Quote

Yes, this. Its the damn blaring kiddipop at such inappropriate times thatbreally ruin the flow. Announcer has to stick to his script, ots not an attitude thing. Quote
