He also attempted to explain that they have “a lot of corporate sponsorship” backing them, and essentially they only need to augment their seats with fans. Not sure if to take his comments with a grain of salt or not, but noteworthy nonetheless.

Downtown offices have trouble giving away midweek Flames games to employees.
This has “Emperors new clothes” written all over it.

Wow. I called it, but nowhere near harsh enough. This is absolutely disgusting. I'm beside myself with rage. Just for once could Calgary manage something for the average, working-class sports fan!? I've been looking forward to this for so long and now it feels just as corporate slimy as everything else in this town. Its like looking forward to Christmas to pop the question to your girlfriend and finding out she's a longtime prostitute for grandpa oil execs.
