I often go out with my smoking buddies between periods and see most of the smokers doing this. Which is why I applaud this update to the by-law; many smokers do not care where their butts land, so we need to give them an incentive to care.

Ive been to over 150 Flames games since the end of the lock out and I usually have a smoke during one or both intermissions and I've never seen this supposed ashtray. The smoking section was only introduced last year. Before that you could smoke anywhere and there were never any ashtrays anywhere around the building.
Dome is private property and they seem to encourage people to litter on the ground (not unlike littering in the building by just throwing junk under your seat). THere is lots of security/cops and they've never ever told any of the 200-500 smokers that are outside each intermission to use this supposed ashtray you speak of.
