You get a way better look at the action on TV with close-ups, multiple camera angles, and instant replay.

Seriously, if you need a videoscreen to prompt you to get engaged and make noise at a sporting event, you're better off just staying home.



That's damning with faint praise. The Saddledome is one of the quietest arenas in North American professional sports. It's like someone grabbed a bunch of random people walking through Chinook Mall, bussed them to the arena, stuffed nachos and popcorn down their throats, and told them to sit down and keep their mouths shut for 2.5 hours.
Sounds like you haven't been to a game since New Years. The Anaheim game on March 11th was playoff atmosphere. Amazing game to be at.
