What were/are the best seats you've sat in to watch a Flames game?

[Torrie the Whaler]

First tier, about 10 rows up in the corners

Mine were on the floor behind the visitors bench right beside where the players go on and off the ice, the tickets belong to the president of FAN 960, but a friend was able to get me them as a birthday present.

1st Row right behind the visitors penalty box against the Bruins. Both Chara and Lucic took penalties that night. Both of those guys are absolute monsters(and I'm 6'3", 230lbs).

Not recently. Used to do this all the time during the 7 years of darkness when the dome was only half full most nights. I was a student and bleeder seats were only $18. By the first intermission you had a pretty good idea of which seats were going to stay empty and just took your pick. The dome staff didn't even check our tickets when we moved down - a friend who worked there at the time said they "unofficially" didn't care because then the lower bowl didn't look empty on TV. Sitting right behind the glass is fun. You can't see the game very well when it's at the other end of the ice but we saw a few good Denis Gauthier hit up close and got to heckle Grant Fuhr (when he was a Flame )

Best seats in the building are the first 5 rows of the 200s, the closer to centre ice the better.

I was at a game back around 2000, and an usher actually approached me and asked me if I wanted to move down. I believe that was my first game that I ever saw in the Saddledome. I think they were trying to fill the bottom rows because it was a televised game.

Section N Row 6 seat 71 and 72 in the Corral.

Game 6 vs. Vancouver in 2004 - Section 228 Row 10 - Not great seats but the atmosphere was amazing.

Game against the Phoenix Coyotes a few years ago - Section 225 Row 1 - Flames had a big comeback win in this one.

Game 3 vs. San Jose - April 13, 2008 - CuJo comes in and saves the day and Sarich hits Marleau into the next decade. Flames come back from 0-3 3 minutes into the game to win 4-3. I was in 223 Row 10 and had a perfect view of "The Hit", you could feel the energy in the building change in an instant. Absolutely the coolest feeling I've had in the Saddledome.
