Default Question about the Saddledome

I am going to my first game on Friday and was wondering if anyone can comment on the new smoking rules for re-entry to the dome.

Is there any options for us smokers to go out? I am in the lower suites and used to go out by Duttons between periods but seems like that is no longer an option.

New policy is no re-entry. Bring nicotine gum or cover yourself with patches.

The upstairs washrooms are always full of people puffing on vapes
Otherwise SOL.

If you can't go 3ish hours without smoking then I think you should tell your doctor and do whatever it takes to quit.

I think you should not tell grown adults how to live; smoking is legal and he was asking a question about the ‘dome, not seeking medical advice. If you can’t go three hours without beer/popcorn/hotdogs I think you should have a smoke.

No smoking, $11.00 beer. Kind of puts a damper on a night out. Saw a guy absolutely loose his #### over prices on opening night.

Went to about 12 games last year. Aiming for 4-6 this year. Tickets still seem to be selling well.

The price of beer is an outrage. I believe they upped it from 10.50 last year. Why in the heck didn't they make it two for 20.00? surely the convenience alone would have made up the stagger with increased sales.

That said, went to a Vegas Knights game in Vegas last year, 13.00USD for draft. Ouch.

But you were able to drink 6 on the way over for under $10

Colorado on Saturday had $11 KING cans. I think they were $10.50 or $11. But huge.

The smoking ban was league mandated (according to Bean I think at the season ticket holder wrap up). Security reasons cited, rather than “the man” telling you what to do.
You shouldn’t smoke, by the way.

Just play a few hands of blackjack. All the beer you want for free.

Somebody should post that dim Jim meme. “There’s two Gord Wappels?”

All the beer you want = several hundred hands of blackjack.

Expensive beer.

I’m pretty sure the Coors Banquet cans were tainted or a bad batch. Only way to explain how I felt the morning after the game...
