I appreciate you did not change the title of the thread to reflect the name change.

It's a choice that should be made at all times by all Jets fans.

EDIT: I was 100% serious, and yet Romang changes the thread title.

Shame on him. I hope the Jets never sign another Sweedish player

Not sure where to post this as this is very much a downgrade but there is no longer a $5 option for the 50/50. $10 for three numbers is your lowest price option and they added a $100 option.

They still have the $0 option. That's the one I always choose, but I'm one of those crazy people that views gambling as voluntary taxation.

You missed the "gun to my head" thread.

I have to buy-I won the Jets 1.0 50/50 and lighting may strike twice.

How is the observation deck restaurant ?

How is the observation deck restaurant ?

Overpriced buffet, uncomfortable seating, ambience that makes mall food courts seem like fine dining.

This is an accurate description.

I was at an exhibition game and they didn't have the unlimited popcorn helmet. Does anyone know if this is true through the season? Horrible news.

So, do we know if there's anything "new" for home games this year? New displays, food items, pre-game productions? They always do new videos... anything that uses the rink surface as a canvas as the more "advanced" arenas do?

...and no, I do not expect (nor do I want) anything approaching what Vegas does.

Can confirm!

I'm still waiting for beam technology to bring food servers to your seat.

That's the option I always choose as well.

At the prices they charge for beer, I'm waiting for this VIP service:

I can pretty much guarantee that the rink surface will never be used for for projection mapping awesomeness aside from maybe the home opener and even then it's pretty tame compared to other venues. Friends of mine in projection mapping video and VR pitched Kyle Balharry at True North Production and he rejected the idea pretty quickly, I'll paraphrase what he told them; "Fans in Winnipeg don't need flashy graphics like that, all we need is the occasional bobblehead, that's all they want."

Well, at least we get the cutting-edge LED bracelets for the home opener (and, you guessed it... refrigerator magnet schedules!)

Booooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!! That's terrible.

I would rather have a bobble head than a dancing laser polar bear on the ice between periods

He isn't wrong. I want the games to start somewhat promptly and I want to watch hockey, not waste 15 minutes with an IMAX movie on ice followed by poor dinner theatre performances. I'll take the bobblehead, thanks.

I doubt I am in the minority.

I'm conflicted, we're capable of better production values then we do right now, we could easily rise to the level of the Canadiens or the Canucks who do this type of stuff in the same duration as our preshow videos but they include an on ice portion, what I took from Kyle's reply was that he and they (True North) view their customers in a very dim view, only the absolute bare minimum is needed to satiate these sheep, that's what I take from it and I'm offended by that personally.

congratulations!
you are the only Canadian who will ever use "rise tot he level of the Canadiens or the Canucks" in a hockey-related sentence this season when it does not involve tanking

Bomberesque dog races on ice could provide endless laffs. Equip them with ice radial booties.
