bills_fan_in_raleigh Posted March 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 I just found out from my neighbor that we will be sitting in the Champions club seats. I've never had the opportunity to pillage the rich and famous at the RBC center. Maybe I can find Pegs to join in? can we tag along I am in the bowl section 111 or so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr.Knuckles Posted March 2, 2011 Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 before the game we are heading to buffalo brothers off of lake boone trail about 5 minutes from RBC. No parking lot tailgating? Or is Buffalo Bros the pre-game game? There's a huge group of us that plan on plundering RBC around 3:30 or 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Knuckles Posted March 2, 2011 Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 For my sign, how about "Terry Pegula is what Willis was Talkin' bout" or Pegulamonium has hit Raleigh? Definitely has to be something relating to the bottomless pit of awesome that is Terry Pegula Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apushms Posted March 3, 2011 Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 Sabres fan here who moved back to buffalo a few years ago and it is so good to see all of you represent when the team visits ... just wish we could get all of you back here permanently ... Go SABRES Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InRodWeTrust Posted March 3, 2011 Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 Go Canes! We'll be parked across the street from the RBC at the horse complex (free parking). Think we are getting a keg so stop by and have a brew with us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LET"S GO BUFFALO Posted March 3, 2011 Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 Last night's attendance was 16,252. Hardly half empty. For a Tuesday night game against FLA, it was a big crowd. First thing what are you a Canes fan... second I remember Buffalo Fans driving down to Carolina during the Playoffs because there were still tickets at the door...Carolina is a sorry excuse for a hockey town, they have two states they are suppose to span and still can't sell out...you are pathetic if your a Sabres fan for defending their attendance... EPIC FAIL...the fact that the Canes and the Lighting "Rod Lovers" have Cups and they still have trouble selling it is what is wrong with the NHL today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eball Posted March 3, 2011 Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 I have a feeling there is going to be a LOT of blue and gold at RBC tonight. Just seeing how many tickets were still available earlier in the week...the place will be rocking. What's amazing is that many fans who would normally go to a Canes game actually stay away when the Sabres come to town, out of fear they'll be raped and pillaged, no doubt. It's hilarious.

Claude_Verret Posted March 3, 2011 Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 Hell yeah I'll be there!! Cant wait to wreak havoc at RBC. I'm right behind the Sabres bench so I'm trying to think of a good sign to make. Maybe a Taro Says or The boys are back in town. Any ideas?! Did Pegula get a code of conduct card too?

weehawk Posted March 3, 2011 Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 By your logic, ALL attendance figures are BS. That would have to include any figures that BUF publishes as well. Yeah alot of those folks were dressed up like empty seats. I was watching the game and lower bowl had many empty seats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eball Posted March 3, 2011 Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 By your logic, ALL attendance figures are BS. That would have to include any figures that BUF publishes as well. I can't speak for what other organizations do, or if there is a league-wide "rule" on reporting attendance, but having attended a number of Canes games over the years I can safely say their "reported" attendance figures are grossly exaggerated, leading me to believe they are based on tickets sold and not fannies in seats. Update -- as of right now on Ticketmaster, still close to 3000 seats available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taro T Posted March 3, 2011 Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 By your logic, ALL attendance figures are BS. That would have to include any figures that BUF publishes as well. AFAIK, all NHL teams report distributed tickets as the attendance. So, it would be interesting to see what the true turnstile attendance is. My guess is that Carolina has a much higher no-show rate than some other places. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depending on how packed the arena is we seem to make up anywhere between 20-40% of the crowd. Good times. Let's just hope we can pull out a regulation win so we can move into 8th place by the time the night is over. Go Sabres! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if they still do it, but last year the deck (club level concessions) was open for about a half hour after the game with severely discounted pitchers of beer.

I'm in 103, I'll have my white Rob Ray sweater on. With my long red hair I'm pretty easy to spot. My sister is wearing my Perreault sweatshirt, I think we're row H.

Someone linked to a hurricanes board in the game day thread where they are disussing sabres fans and specifically mentioned someone with a "Drunkard" jersey! :beer: :beer: :beer: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
