I was checking out the Flames board at HF and I saw this pretty intresting thread about the lady who always sits behind the bench at Flames games.
Does anyone know the story about her? I dont think she has missed a game in like four seasons.
tl;dr I have always pondered about the lady who sits behind the bench at flames games.
You see a lot of these people when watching the broadcasts. Been the same people in the same seats for years. Aside from the one behind the Flames bench, there's the 40-50 year old man in the corner with his son that they show on crowd shots after a goal. Seen that kid grow a lot in the last few years.
Then there's the gal by the oppositions' tunnel. She gave us this gem of a photo a couple seasons ago:

That woman reminds me of the guy who used to sit in the lower bowl behind the goalie... relatively older dude always had a great Flames sweater (and I mean sweater sweater, not a jersey) on. You would almost always seem him after every goal celebration. Wonder what happened to that guy...
But speaking of this lady, I always thought the seats behind the bench were rather crappy for watching hockey. Apart from the tv coverage which would probably make you self-conscious, the non-stop obstructed viewing angle can't be that great. It would be like watching tv at home, and having someone walk in front of your tv every few seconds.

That, and I swear when you're that close, especially at the ends of the glass, you can even smell the sweat from the bench. Kinda stinks. My buddy and I sat down there once years ago and we could totally smell them.
My favourite is the guy behind the Leafs' bench at every ACC game - you know, the guy who looks like Kenny Rogers with a deep orange tan?

Is it possible that she's just a STH who goes to every game?
I heard from a security guard at the Dome that D. Sutter accidentally hit her with his car years ago. So he compensated her with front row season tickets... and was her butler for several months. A story like thats gotta be true!!
