Default Saddledome Entertainers

Ok we all have our favorite pre and post game entertainers that surround the building looking for your hard earned extra coins. I do have one beef/comment though.

We all know the jazzy saxophone player that plants himself post game by the CTrain station. My beef is with the other leach sax player that showed up about two years ago. Knowing that the other saddle player must do ok he jumped on board piggy backing on the jazzy guys cred.

Here is my issue:

Why is it that the guy STILL needs his sheet music?

He only plays five songs! If he is at every game for the last two plus years then how is it that he has yet to memorize his five songs?

Long and short, I don't like him.

I always throw a couple bucks at the original sax man on the way out.
Bagpipe dude is fairly solid also.
Spare change sign guy needs to step his game up.

Disagree. He is there for Flames, Hitmen, Roughnecks, World Juniors. The only Dome event he missed was the Globetrotters.

He always gives an appreciative thank you; so he has earned my repeat business.

I 2nd the bagpipe guy.
I've seen him put up with a lot of drunk a-holes.
(drunk a-holes who in all fairness are usually throwing money at him from the train platform)

Well, she does have the absolute worst possible angle you could get.

Seriously, you could hire a research team to determine the most horrifying spot to be in that scenario, and they would place the spot right where that woman is sitting.

I don't know, the guy two rows above her seems to find it very interesting.

The worst Saddledome entertainer of all time has to be Steve Strachan.

BroncoMan isn't an entertainer but he has to be up there too.

Don't forget the up and coming rap artist that is always hocking his cd. I actually got it as a gift from my cousin one year. Some label should sign this guy already.

Five is generous. Spiderman, HNIC, Addams Family. That dude shows up at some jam sessions around town, and he has zero feel.

I always get to the game from the west side of the area, are there other "fixtures" on the east side or the north ramp?
