Default How much would you pay for a Flames game day experience?

Pretty cool auction prize donated by Francis for next season. How much would you pay?

I think he made a mistake editing because the link was there before.

What is included in a Flames game "experience?" How "experienced" is this Flames game?

Hopefully less bow-wow, and more wow-wow

An evening being stuck with Eric Francis?

I wouldn't go if I won the prize for free.

Seems pretty cool. Francis can be a jerk but it's for a good cause and would be cool to see some of the ins and outs behind the scenes. I'm sure I could get 3 other guys to chip in 300 each that'd get you 12 hundy.

I'm sure someone will fork out at least a few grand.

It's a bit disingenuous to say that the package was "donated" by Eric Francis. No way could it be done without the cooperation of the Flames, especially the dressing room tour, meeting the team, autographs, press box aspect of it.

I despise Francis, but could put that aside for that experience.

Great on the Flames to provide a charity package but I wouldn't bid on it especially if it goes for $800 plus. No way.

I've been lucky enough to see the Flames room, and I can tell you its really not that interesting. Big Flames logo in the carpet, square room, maple stalls. If you've seen it on TV that's it. Not much else there.

I would say the most interesting room is actually the jumbo tron HQ. That place is pretty interesting to see in action during a game. Lots going on.

Press box. ahhh, its high in the sky and I'm afraid of heights. No way I'd cross the catwalk.

It's for you and three other people. It comes with tickets and dinner. Unless you're getting PL tickets and he's using coupons for McDonald's, I think $200 a person is the bare minimum for something like this.

I don't know, it would be incredible to be able to tell him how stupid he is face to face
