Disclaimer: This is not meant to be offensive, but more or less to recap and nitpick at things we've noticed at MTS Centre this season. Although late in the year, it can be a quirky guide to fans who haven't attended a home game yet but will in the future. And no, just for the record, I'm not the tool in your section who texts fan services when people are gettin' rowdy.
I'll start things off:
- You, nor your girlfriend, don't need to get that excited when Evander Kane is rushing up the ice with the puck. He's not that amazing to run through the entire opposition... yet.
- Your fake jersey isn't fooling anybody. The puffy, small Jets logo and the white laces give it away.
- It's probably not a good idea to leave to go to the concessions/wash room after the period ends. You'll likely miss some of the next period.

I remember reading on this forum, and another local Winnipeg forum, that some fans can't handle all the noise from surrounding fans that they'll actually text fans services to complain. Usually what will happen is a couple ushers come to that section, hand out a soft warning if they're lucky (just to make the complainer happy), and walk away.
As a season ticket holder I can't stress this enough. I hate when people sit on the edge of their seat, then lean over... I can't see anything and it's just plain annoying.
On top of this, I've literally had a girl fold her chair up and sit on that... lmao it is pretty ridiculous sometimes.
If the jets score... go nuts, but I'd like to at least be able to watch the game in the meantime.
Also, I'm not sure why the fake jersey thing bothers me so much, but it does. I'd rather see people pay for the real thing and keep that money in our economy and helping our team.

They're just so hideously bad. I mean, the jet is just one shade of grey, the other colours are just off.. It's like a being ten years old playing with real transformers and someone comes with some cheap transformbot from dollarama. I understand it, you're poor, your parents can't afford a real transformer toy, but its just not working.

Each game I go to I've noticed the fakes are starting to get more accurate. They've gone from being completely wrong colours to pretty close... but the logo/player numbers are still a dead give away.
The fakes have gotten a lot better. In fact, the shoulder patches are embroidered on some like they are on the authentic ones. The light blue still gives them trouble though, it's always a bit off. The lettering is usually wrong too.
I disagree with the OP that you can't go to the concessions during the intermission. The line for the bathroom may be 15 minutes long but the concessions are VERY fast. I've gone halfway through the intermission and gotten beer with tons of time to spare. For the bathrooms, ideally you're not in the middle of a long row and you can just sprint out at a commercial break. Hopefully they increase washroom capacity in some way this off-season because as the season went on I was more reluctant to buy $8 beers; not because I didn't want to spend $8 on a beer but because I didn't want to squirm in my seat through the second half of the game or miss the first five minutes of a period standing in line for the bathroom during the intermission.
Otherwise I agree with the part about people needing to be more considerate about how they sit. In the lower bowl it's not a problem but in the upper bowl you'll block everyones view if you lean forward.

My friend will boo people who wear fake jerseys, haha.
Run across the street to the tavern at intermission. Not only will u be able to slam a double at a lower cost, you will be able to use the washroom as well and still make it back in time for the period to start.

Exactly this.
I saw one yesterday, the logo was off a bit and the numbers were all white with no light blue border
Fake jerseys stand out like a pink golf ball in a pack of white ones.

oh oh its the jersey police.......
JK but you are right they do stick out and look out of place! unfortunatly by the third period at the games I have attended everything melts together into a sea of blue after double ******* a few doubles
The Jumbo Jet Hot Dog - the extra toppings are $1 each, not $1 for all of them. (I learned this the hard way when I asked for perogy pieces, bacon, chili, and cheese onto mine.)

It bothers me because the whole point of supporting the team is buying the jersey from them. If you wear a fake you are basically ripping off the team you supposedly support. So it either makes you look greasy or ignorant, or both, when you wear one.
Besides, nothing says "I support my team" like mailing money off to someone ripping off the Jets logo on the internet.

People will always complain that they can't afford a real jersey. Save up for one or buy a couple shirts or a hoodie. I'd much rather do that than have my money supporting crime overseas.

I agree. Lets be honest, the point of buying any sports jersey is to support the team, and not be 'fashionable'. If you're buying a fake, then well you're not actually supporting the team...you're likely supporting criminal activity (trafficking of illegal goods), and unregulated/illegal/unethical labour somewhere.
And they just look bad. The latest batch I've noticed still don't have the sizing of the arm stripes right, and the spacing of the letters is wrong. They also seem to have numbers that are overly italicised, and slanted more than real numbers. (as opposed to the first batch of fakes, which didn't have italicised numbers at all)
You look bad, you look cheap. And even if you didn't look bad and cheap, it's still wrong, IMHO.
