And as someone said, fans in other buildings are not louder than Flame fans at the Saddledome. A Monday night game sounds the same in every Canadian city.
But 'away' fans are always going to be morons, thinking it is cool to do so.

I agree with what you are saying except it makes them look like losers.
I was in San Jose earlier this season and was cheering loudly for the Flames. I wasn’t be obnoxious or anything but i could tell my cheering was annoying to a few around me (especially when Benny has his penalty shot that would have tied the game)
The biggest losers I have seen in the Dome this year was guys wearing an Oilers jersey dancing like he was at the Jersey Shore and the Flames were playing the Flyers. Luckily our comeback was so epic and he ended up looking like an even bigger fool at the end of the game but the fact his team wasn’t playing irritated me.
I was annoyed at the amount of Leaf fans in the building and a little embarrassed we were getting out cheered by the road fans but at the end of the day the fans sitting near me were completely fine
