I've been a Flames' fan since 1981, but I'll admit that the older I get, the less passionate I am about professional sports in general, including the Flames. I'm still a hell of a lot louder than the corporate crowd though.

So because you are old the young people can't have fun like you admitted you did 10 years ago?

Who you calling old? LOL.Thats a bit of a stretch. Fans young and old can do what they want. I was saying that perhaps it isn't worth the aggravation to bring props to an away game, and that doesn't exclude drinking or having fun. For myself, I don't need confrontations with drunken Coiler fans, or drunken Flame fans for that matter. I can do without the aggravation. Its entertainment. I'm not depriving anyone of their particular fan experience, just stating my opinion.
