or so that's how I've heard it. it was years ago.

I usually if I am sitting on the aisle just put my drink on the side of my seat.They are super annoying.I hate to use them.

whenever they do that "Sport & Spine" announcement, all i hear is "sporty spice."

remeber (sic) the cheap $7 seats in the corners? They were better than some loge seats at $8.25 !

AND, if you sat anywhere inside the blue line you paid attention because there were no nets to stop pucks.

not enough phil collins

I don't remember a time like that, but I honestly feel it is a disservice to the fans. They basically drown out the fans from doing anything organic. Fans have to try extra hard to be heard over the piped in noise and score-board stuff. Last game they had Cartman attempt to do his Go Kings Go thing, but the puck dropped so it was just the video and no audio. The Go Kings Go chant lasted much, much longer than normal. With the orchestrated chanting people give up right when the video/audio stops because puck is in play.

Whenever it is an actual organic chant they go for much longer and much louder. I'd really wish they'd dial back the theatrics during a game. If it is a TV time out, fine entertain us. But much past that let us the fans control the sound of the game more and let the theatrics be the back seat.

Disc Sport and Spine for sure.....

They still are in the 200s. Are you saying in the 300s it was like that? I don't think they ever could have been because of how close the seats are to each other both in front and behind and left and right. They'd have to remove a whole seat from each row, maybe two to make cup holders usable in the 300s.
