I was around the Saddledome during his short tenure.
When Francis writes 'rock star', he's understating it. I've seen all sorts of people in and around the bowels of the building like PM's, Gretzky and other retired HOF players, actors, etc... and it's always a big deal.
Jagr is on another level. The air in the room freaking changes wherever he goes and I've never seen/experienced anything quite like it. It's what I imagine what happens when someone like Prince went somewhere.
