When the Flames bought the Stamps, we here all thought a new stadium would be on the horizon. Maybe the fans who are 25 might see it in their lifetime but anyone older than that won't which is a sad, sad, sad, state of affairs.
We thought Flames money would go into promotion & advertising making the team relevant again but nope. I think the problem is you have hockey people trying to run the Stamps marketing. With the Flames, people just show up at the Saddledome & they don't have to do much. With football, they don't know what to do so nothing gets done. Tickets overpriced & concessions expensive.
Like MLSE, CSEC is set in their ways. Meanwhile in Edmonton we have owners trying not only to make their teams of value with fans in those cities butDomain & Cui also are trying to show fans that THEY CARE ABOUT THEM & ARE IMPORTANT. Not so with the organizations in TO & here.
Suitor just wants to talk about Bo. At least, Rod Smith isn't laughing at everything Suitor says. He keeps him honest.
Uh oh, Stanbeck.
