My intermission strategy:

- Leave section 220 and, hike up to the nosebleeds to use the no line washrooms.
- Hit beer vendor for a tall can of Budweiser
- back in my seats with about 7 minutes left in the intermission

- Never hit a washroom with a double entrance. The NE and the SW lines move twice as fast as it's one line for even more urinals

3 years to figure that out!


With a new arena, we will certainly loose some atmosphere. The seats will be further from the ice, and more expensive tickets meaning more of a corporate ticket base.

But I do beleive the theory that a new arena/facilities will be necessary to stay competitive economically and be an attractive destination.

Best case scenario with this pro longed delay is that maybe the flames are competitive in the final couple years of the saddledome's life, and we can raise a Stanley Cup in it.
