I took my boy to the game last night. The west side is always fuller than the east but if I had to guess attendance was in the low 20,000s. Jake didn't look good at all, a lot like last year's QB but the defense was excellent until the final drive in the 4th qtr. Not sure if it was heard on TV or not but lots of boos when the Stamps didn't even try to get in field goal range in the last 30 seconds of regulation.
The sound system at McMahon is brutal. All the speakers are over by the jumbotron now and it makes for a quiet stadium. The in-game hosts microphones also cut in and out. We all know the Flames need a new rink but the Stamps or Dinos shouldn't be playing in McMahon anymore, either that or invest in some serious renos and do it over a period of time.
