After seeing games in other NHL rinks, and being able to compare the Saddledome to all the other Canadian rinks, to me, the Saddledome is different and stands out. It's not the cookie cutter that the Bell Centre, Canadian Tire Centre and ACC are. I look at that as a unique thing and a good thing.
Going to the Saddledome was a religious experience for me. I'm glad it's different. I wish I could get there more. This June will mark 10 years since I've been in attendance there...
My peeve are people complaining about trivial things when I'd give my left nut to attend a game there.
On a side note, some people can't digest nuts and seeds ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diverticulitis) which would mean they'd have to have a different bun. Not allowing the patron to have a different bun is like saying "oh you can't eat peanuts, and we could easily accommodate that... meh screw you" |
I would give my left nut to attend a Raiders game at the Oakland Coliseum (two attempts have fallen through but it will happen) but that doesn't change the fact that it's the worst stadium in the NFL by a longshot and I certainly wouldn't say it's trivial to the fans that live there and pay good money for season tickets.
