Fans Banging on the Glass- Discuss

[Lshap]

The arena should hang baby mobiles on the glass so people will have something to play with instead of banging.

Wow getting rid of banging on the glass. What's next ? trying to control fighting on the ice to eventually eliminate them.

I don't know but I think the goalies should be allowed to cut through the ice and go fishing when the puck is down the other end. Spice the game up a bit.

I think running into obnoxious people is a risk you take when you attend public events. Does it cause any actual problems other than being annoying?

 

[SpezDispenser]

It's always irked me tbh.

 

[Iggys Dome]

Why does it bother people? Not once has my enjoyment of a game been affected by people banging on the glass, on TV or in person.

 

[Acallabeth]

I think OP is right. Can't people just look at their smartphones all game?

Glass bangers are the same guys who yell "Get in the hole" at golf tournaments.

I have only banged the glass once. It was when a coaching friend of mine snapped a kid's stick at practice while showing him a shooting skill.

If the banger is 12 or younger, have at it. Older than that & you look like a fool.

/perhaps when arenas are retrofitted, the first row of seats should have electrical contacts in them (like a dog's shock collar). Bang on the class & a corrective zap gets applied.

What irks me more are people who walk to their seats and obstruct the view when the game is on. Do that when there's a stoppage, please.

 

[CTHabsfan]

Not a fan of them but I dislike more is the person that stands up randomly during play turns around and waives at the camera so they can go home later and be like look it’s me. Happens a lot at Oilers games.

You beat me to it, I was going to say the same thing.

Can we ban "Sweet Caroline", "Livin' on a Prayer", and "Everybody clap your hands"?

 

[Rebels57]

I find it very stupid.

If we are going thus route, can we also ban all Offspring songs?

The worst song offense was the Blues using Country Road during their Cup run. Hearing fans in St. Louis, Missouri belt out "WEEESSTT VIRGINIA, MOUNTAIN MAMA, TAKE ME HOME, COUNTRY ROADS" was the cringiest shit ever. I think it started because of TJ Oshie using at his goal song. He's from Washington state

 

[Neil Racki]

Caps games the ushers go down and tell people banging on the glass "stop all that banging on the glass, this aint a zoo and you arent an angry gorilla"

Oh, I see we're coming for the glass bangers now! But let’s not be too hasty in trying to snuff out this time-honored tradition. Glass banging is basically the official sound of a fan saying, "I’m invested, I’m excited, and I’m here for the chaos." It's like the soundtrack of pure fandom energy — a love letter to the sport that says, "I’m here, I’m loud, and I’m a part of this moment!"

Sure, maybe the players act like they’re unaffected, but deep down, they know it’s a sign they’ve earned the raucous attention. And hey, if it gets a little extra ‘thump-thump’ during a tense playoff game, I’m all for it. It’s not a disruption — it’s a celebration of the passion that makes hockey one of the greatest sports in the world. Penalize the fans for being too into it? Ridiculous. Maybe the players should get penalized for not responding to the pure energy being pumped into the arena.

If we start kicking people out for glass banging, where does it end? Next, we’ll be banning air horns, rally towels, and enthusiastic chants. Let the bangers bang, my friend — it’s the sound of the game.

It's very stupid, and I wish they wouldn't, but also I have a hard time caring enough to really do anything about it

 

[The Gr8 Dane]

No fights no glass banging no violence




no fun


400$ dollar seat can't bang the glass nice

 

[Reality Czech]

Maybe the Karens and old people who are bothered by glass banging should sit a bit further back.

No different than people who bang on glass at the gorilla exhibit at the zoo. Let people do what they do. But know that the glass bangers are more genetically aligned with Koko than they are their supposed “fellow” humans.

Actually it's completely different

I remember having seats behind the oppositions net back in 2010 against a game vs the Stars and incessantly banging on the glass every time a defenseman had the puck behind the net. I believe it was Stephane Robidas who mid play banged the stick on the glass near my direction and I thought it was the funniest thing ever. I had seats behind the net before but none of the players cared before this.

I look back on it now and it’s kind of stupid not going to lie but as a teenager/barely old enough adult I enjoyed it.

 

[Coffey]

First thing that comes to mind is that dumb dork from Dallas.

 

[Romang67]

I am of the opinion that the fans banging on the glass has to be eliminated.

As in, kill them?

We moved on from Christmas cheer in record this time year.

 

[GeeoffBrown]

People banging on the glass distracts me from seeing the updated betting lines. The odds are really good this time! I gotta get this bet in now! I'd be stupid not to!
