I wouldnt mind seeing more player signings/meet-greets during the season with all members of the organization. ie Autograph sessions to really bring the flames out into the community and build that excitement around the team during the "dark ages"

Its funny how different the CFL for example is from the NHL. Fan interaction is carefully monitored and controlled with the players. Meanwhile in the last two or so years of our pod cast we've had 20 Stampeders show up in a fans basement to record a show and speak honestly without a lost of cliches.
We've had the Stamps president take members of our website out for beers and pizza before the first game of the year and he's bought along coaches and members of the staff. We were even given media access by the Stamps.
Its little things like that that push me more into the Stamps fanbase then the Flames right now, there just seems to be this wall between the franchise and the fanbase.
The Flames really need to have events like fan axess. A cool thing would be a fantasy camp where Flames fans could pay some money towards charity and then go to an event with Flames players and coaches where they get tips on their game for their beer league stuff, and get to feel what a actual Flames practice could be like. I'd pay extra to have Bob Hartley screaming at me for sucking.
