LGR4GM Posted March 2, 2011 Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 I'm sure that this would be a successful business model. :doh: Lol yea probably not, how about the free meal stays but they pay like 50% for the rooms? That way Pegula can break even and NHL players are like this is really nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
korab rules Posted March 2, 2011 Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 Seriously - cut the price of beer in half. They will sell twice as much, and simultaneously enhance the atmosphere. As people get lubed up they will make more noise and have more fun. $8.00 beers are stupid. Keep food prices the same - who eats anything other than popcorn and peanuts at the arena anyway? Cheap beer and hockey - sounds like Hockey Heaven to me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you really think that opposing players pay for their rooms when they're on a road trip? :unsure: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LGR4GM Posted March 2, 2011 Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 If you gave the team, who i understand pays there players room fees a discount it would give them an incentive to stay at your hotel which would be swanky and show them how awesome it would be to play for that team. You could also help the hotel business by making it more likely you might run into a NHL star if you stayed there. Out of town fans would love it. Obviously security to the player floors would be high but it would still be cool if you saw ovechkin or who ever walking through the lobby of your hotel.

LabattBlue Posted March 2, 2011 Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 Kill rock my like a hurricane song I hear this at RBC Center or on Pandora and puke. Get a fight song like shout or talking proud that can be done when we score. Maybe a new rock addition of Sabres Dance or Sword music something to fire up and wake up the crowd in HSBC. Get rid of chicken dance and other similar lame things like Kiss camera get things that get people up and screaming. They don't do the chicken dance(at least I don't remember seeing it this year). I don't mind the KissCam or the blooper video. They make up 2 minutes of a 3 hour event. On the other hand, the non-stop BLARING of music during every break in play prevents any cheering from going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've noticed they've cut back on the rock music quite a bit, or at least it seems that way. There has been much more of the organ and much less of the piped in stuff recently. Maybe I've tuned it out, but I haven't heard Cotton-eyed Joe in a while either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I've tuned it out, but I haven't heard Cotton-eyed Joe in a while either. They HAVE increased the amount of organ (I honestly never thought I'd hear an organ version of Loverboy's "Working for the Weekend;" I think I can honestly say I never want to hear it again) but they still don't allow (m)any instances of non-game play without something blaring on the PA system. It also SEEMS like the PA system volume has been increased this year. Maybe it's just that going to the rink nearly everyday for a couple of weeks during the WJC's has me noticing it more. (I started wearing earplugs for the last couple of trips in for that. 8 hours of high decibel noise wears thin after a bit.) I would like to see them reach a compromise where during the non-TV timeout play stoppages during the game they only play organ music & only if there aren't chants already started w/in the crowd. Dropping the volume a few (deci)bels would be good too. D*mn, this post sounds like PA. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I agree w/ Reg "Don't EVER Play Lady of Spain AGAIN!" Dunlap. Correct me if I'm wrong, I really think it happened but it was so long ago, but didn't the organ player play the Transylvanian (Dracula type) music when someone got a penalty. I miss that too.

SwampD Posted March 2, 2011 Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 What about an adults only section(s), maybe in the corner, where some of the more [ahem] rambunctious fans could sit, kinda like the RIT Corner Crew?
