KennyRock Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 ...The Palace at Auburn Hills will be showing the game from San Antonio on its video boards. 22,076 fans are expected to attend this viewing, with all the proceeds going to charity.This raises a question: Does anyone think there's a possiblity of this becoming a trend? I know most arenas simply scheduled other events when the team is on the road, but I wonder if, maybe for five or six road games during the year, the team's arena has a special promotions night where the fans watch the game on the giant boards, with like waiters coming to the seats and stuff(kind of like an overgrown sports bar feel). It shouldn't be done 41 times, but sparingly enough, I wonder if it could work? What do ya think?

LMU Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 This happens every finals. The Lakers did it every year of the 3-peat. Also happens for the Stanley Cup Finals, assuming we'll still be having those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottyvoodoo Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 lmupepbander Posted on Thursday, June 23rd, 2005 - 15:30:22 This happens every finals. The Lakers did it every year of the 3-peat. Also happens for the Stanley Cup Finals, assuming we'll still be having those. The Flames did this last year during their playoff run. The first game they let people in by food donation, by game time they were turning people away due to being over stadium capacity. For the rest of the playoffs they had to sell tickets to insure that they wouldn't have to turn people away at the door. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJR Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 The Red Wings have done it at least back to 1998, selling the Joe out when the teams aren't even there. FantasyHockeySim.com || DetroitHockey.Net || DetroitHockey.Net FHL || cjr.dev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing it's the capacity crowd at Auburn Hills? when you're replacing an old Carr, you need more than Les Miles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had fans in the satnds of Clagary while Game 7 was played in Tampa last year. www.sportsecyclopedia.com For the best in sports history go to the Sports E-Cyclopedia at http://www.sportsecyclopedia.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HatCityEnforcer Posted June 24, 2005 Share Posted June 24, 2005 The Pistons also did it for Game 7 of the ECF vs. Miami as well...During the playoffs (especially during the NBA Finals & Stanley Cup) I don't have a problem with it...during the regular season, it'd be overkill.I think the trend will be that the arenas will be used for viewing road games in the playoffs only...makes it that much more special, IMOWith that said, here's hoping the 22,076 go home VERY happy tonight GO PISTONS!

Grandmaster C Posted June 24, 2005 Share Posted June 24, 2005 I remember both the Canucks and the Rangers doing that during the 1994 Stanley Cup finals.That said, it is a great idea for the playoffs of any sport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaolinaJoe Posted June 24, 2005 Share Posted June 24, 2005 Detroit played well for about 42 minutes. Then they just stopped moving without the ball and started taking horrible shots. "It is the soldier, not the reporter, who has given us freedom of thepress. It is the soldier, not the poet, who has given us freedom ofspeech. It is the soldier, not the campus organizer, who has given usthe freedom to demonstrate. And it is the soldier who salutes theflag, serves beneath the flag, whose coffin is draped by the flag, andwho allows the protester to burn the flag."Marine Chaplain Dennis Edward O' Brien Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
