I would have to agree with this too. I can't help but think that some of the cocky chants were a little more of a collective 'it's about us' rather than the team. I don't think it does much to motivate the team if you're cheers/chants are taking the mickey i.e. just one big laugh.

Not to say I'm against having a good time or anything of the sort.

now i don't know about you guys
but i detest glass bangers more than anything else in the hockey world.
i'd rather have someone getting up every 15 seconds, than to ever hear a glass banger again in my life.
it's even worse on tv watching it.
if i can have it my way, next year i will be in the lower bowl for a jets game, and last thing i want to hear and see, is glass bangers.

Washrooms and getting a beer have definately not been a problem on the 300 level, if you go to the converted women's can and get the beer from the beer only stand. Usually get back to my seat with approx 7 - 8 mins left. On a Saturday night this is maybe down to 4 - 5 mins. Never missed a second of play all year getting back at intermission. My big beef is the STH in front of us who seems to seek out fans from other fan bases to sell/give away his tickets to. That and the people who spend the game texting and look up oblivious when the crowd goes wild for a goal/hit etc.

- no fake jerseys
- no seat leaners
- no holding up signs the whole game
also if someone scores and everybody is standing, don't tug on someones jersey to get them to sit.

Obviously I won't be attending games at MTS centre on a regular bases, but I was lucky enough to attend one last season and have one gripe. When someone needs to walk by you, pick your beer(s) up so it's not in the path for someone to kick. Not sure how it happened (because your only allowed to have two beers in your possession at a time) but an entire beer got kicked behind me and had a puddle of beer at my feet for most of the game. Basically beer control should be of highest priority.

I loathe glass bangers as well. I don't understand the attraction. It would be less tiring just to hold up a sign announcing that you are an annoying idiot.

Safer too.

Don't sit there in your cheaper upper bowl seat and pretend that the entire lower bowl is full of fans who don't cheer...
