saddledome seating question

[calgaryrocks]

I got tickets from work to the roughnecks game on friday, but they are in the fairmont club.
just wondering if anyone has sat there for a roughnecks/hitmen/flames game, do you have to be over 18 to sit there? i am but might bring some friends that arent. also what is the best way to get to it?
thanks

Edit- nevermind. I was thinking of Avison Young.

i sat in the fairmont club box for a concert. good seats, your own bathrooms, and a bar, with food. its right beside the olympic lounge. there IS an elevator that can take you up, if you go up the main steps of the dome and instead of going in those doors, take a left at the top and go in the little glass door, that elevator will take you up right there.

edit- the bar has a sign saying you need ID for alcohol. so, no, i don't think theres an age restriction.

Edit: Also thinking of Avison Young Club. Shows how much I sit there!

Lol. The Fairmount Club is up top across from the Saddleroom Restaurant. There are no stairs going down to it, though you could try. You're thinking of the Avison Young Club. You do not want to go there.

As evilcougar said, they are the seats at centre ice @ the top of the second deck, sharing a wall with the Olympic Lounge. This puts it on the same side as the front entrance. If you want to avoid the stair, take the elevator that is outside on the north hand side of the main entrance before you walk in the main doors...otherwise just look for the yellow section signs, and trek on up to the top of the deck...besides the stuff in the Olympic Lounge there is a bar there just for the people in that area...still have to go downstairs for food for the most part though.

As for how good the view is, it's OK but nothing spectacular...as I said, top of the 2nd deck. There will be lots of room to stretch out though, because it's rare that the Fairmont Club is more than 1/2 full for a Necks game.

i was just there for nickelback. i know i wasnt THAT drunk. although, some of you might think that just for going to see nickelback. but it was free to sit in the box.
the fairmont club is indeed uptop of the 2nd deck on the olympic lounge side.
my season tickets are on the saddleroom side which is how i know i am certain it is not on that side.
