If memory serves, the nose bleeds were not even open during that time.

I recall the first time I went to Calgary to see the Flames live. I think it was 1997. I purchased tickets in the nosebleeds and about 10 minutes into the 1st period, an usher came and asked us if we wanted to move down to better seats. I assume it was to fill out the lower bowl so it looked better on TV.
