Popular Post MikeyD Posted November 5, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted November 5, 2023 Is our fans! They've definitely been louder but they should be absolutely raucous the way the team is playing. The guys are playing their tails off and our fan base looks so uneducated when they don't cheer for great PK work, turnovers in the neutral zone, hits along the walls, etc. I'm hoping it's just a TV thing but they seem to only cheer for the big plays. I would love to see some more love from the fans for all of those small plays that win you hockey games consistently. It'd also bring some love towards our depth players who are playing the right way and helping us to points as well. Elias Pettersson finally thinks the fans are fun at the rink, now we need to show him what we can really do. Let's murder some ears, Canucks fans! Let's keep Elias home! This is the best hockey we have seen since 2012 and it's high time we show our appreciation for it. 2 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EB43 Posted November 5, 2023 Share Posted November 5, 2023 Until we get rid of all the lower bowl corporate seasons ticket holders, I don’t think we ever see any sea of any color. It’s truly sad to see most of the lower bowl filled with people that were clearly given the tickets and could care less about the team. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoHeart Posted November 5, 2023 Share Posted November 5, 2023 (edited) This might be an unpopular opinion but I just recently went to the blues game and I thought the atmosphere was above average compared to other rinks. I work all over the USA, so over the last 15 years I’ve been to over half the NHL arenas. I bet it was 10 years since the last time I was at a Canucks game. Ive seen them on the road 90% of the time. I felt like the overall enthusiasm was actually better than 10 years ago. The scoreboard is elite. The DJ was better and the sound system is probably the best I’ve heard. Our goal song is actually unbelievably cool and unique, I didn’t really realize this until I was at Rogers. it adds to the vibe of the building. I was about 3 rows up from the glass and everyone around me was engaged. Let’s see if I can rank the top 10 rinks I’ve been to. 1. Oilers 2. Nashville 3. Philly 4. islanders 5. Rangers 6. Van 7. Pens 8. Wings 9. Carolina 10. flames Edit: I haven’t been to Vegas, Montreal, Boston or Chicago. Those are probably higher than van. But I’d still put the overall experience above average in the NHL.

gwarrior Posted November 5, 2023 Share Posted November 5, 2023 I'd like to see and hear the fans be as loud as the crowd at the Lions game yesterday. That place was insane. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post bishopshodan Posted November 5, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted November 5, 2023 They dont promote noise/fun in our barn. High alc prices, no noise makers, sometimes people are told to sit down, really bad dj, lower bowl and private boxes used by corps as a place to meet and be seen instead of enjoying the game. They should do a cheap section for people that are members of their fan forums, the most hardcore fans, they would make noise....oh, wait, they dont want to hear from them true fans either 2 3 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That place was insane. If you ever get the chance be sure to catch a BlueBombers game in Wpg. I've been to many Lions games and was at our game yesterday as well but when I went to see a buddy in Wpg this summer and we went to the Bombers / Allouettes game, I was very humbled by their fan base and how their building runs the games. Way more interactive themes and fan involvement than I've ever seen at BC Place. I was at the Dallas game as well and although the DJ does nothing for me and tons of songs were clearly chosen for the younger crowd, I thought most of the fans in my section and in the building in general were boisterous, involved and cheered at all the right times. All that is except the 4 late teen / early 20's girls on my right who spent the entire night chatting about their social lives, taking selfies and only really looking for the puck when the rest of the crowd began to buzz loudly in anticipation of an exciting play. Oh well, can't win em all 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not a fan of suffering out in the elements for long either but damn I wish I had the resources to fly out this coming weekend for the West final. I wouldn't bet the farm on BC coming out of that building with a win but I'd sure love to be there to cheer them on and watch them try. Could be a very close game and if BC can have a strong 2nd half (not happening often lately), the crowd may actually be a little bit quiet when all is said and done. Tried and true, I'm a Canucks / hockey fan first but... Go Lions GO!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if its the same guy as last year but it was enjoyable to listen to. Other than that i agree the tone from the top (arena management) does not encourage fans to be loud besides the old “make some noiiiise” banners and spicy p walking around banging his drum starting chants which does work 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danie_Canuck Posted November 7, 2023 Share Posted November 7, 2023 This may or may not be something most would be into, but I have often wondered why we don’t have supporters groups in hockey like you do in Football (AKA Soccer). I belong to a few SG’s for a few different soccer clubs (all different leagues) and it’s soo much fun singing, banging drums, etc etc and the players and clubs love it too. Would be cool to see it come to Hockey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be cool to see it come to Hockey. That would be amazing We need our Season ticket holders to ban together and start a raucous That would be amazing to watch. Jets had that for the first few seasons but I heard covid depleated their season ticket base and they are having trouble with attendance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, this has been going on for years, we cheer when our team scores goals, not cheering them to get goals like other teams. I remember how there was a buzz in the Montreal games before they even started, let alone at puck drop and all through the game. In our building, it's like going to a library until something happens.
