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.

I would even love to do a training like a flame camp with Rich, with a few flames as guest speakers/demonstrators of what they actually do during the season.
Don't get me wrong, I'll support the team throughout the rebuild and hopefully see the team become a true contender again in a few years but the team doesn't have that same community feel as it did back in the Dark Ages with the young guns.
Another one would be having discounts at the fanattic with your ticket, I know this may make some STH frustrated but you maybe able to get a few more jerseys/tshirts sold to the non STH crowd.
