Winnipeg Jets fans in for new show with upgrades to venue, in-game experiences - Winnipeg | Globalnews.ca

True North Sports and Entertainment has made several changes that Winnipeg's Jets fans should gear-up for as the team's home-opener slides into view.

A few new things.

Dawn Haus should never do interviews. First, she's an uptalker. There is nothing more annoying and unprofessional IMO. OK, maybe if she belched, farted and picked her nose, but uptalking is still really annoying.

Also, she completely butchered a sentence. "The system will flag you, or not flag you if there is anything that is a threat on you".

Blink, blink.

She basically just said that the system could fail to detect a threat. Sure, I know what she meant to say, but Jesus H, you would think someone at a senior VP level could articulate their thoughts better than that.

The best thing I can say about that house band is the singer is better than Stacy Nattrass, but that's a pretty low bar now, isn't it?

That sounds great! "Mach 10" sounds exactly like the kind of energy the Jets should be bringing to the in-game experience. I had half season tickets for 11 years when I lived in Winnipeg and it all started to feel very formulaic and dry after a while, to the point you could predict when they would play which songs.

Oh, it's time for INXS...
Oh, here comes Metallica...

I've seen the Jets play in a lot of away arenas and, while I think the Jets have some of the most knowledgeable fans, most of the other teams in-game atmosphere are much less formal and much more fun.

As long as they don't go with white-trash techno music like Calgary...

Is Mach 10 a rock pop band? If anything else but rock if could get annoying pretty quick for me.

Kinda scary low traffic on the season opener thread for our beloved Jets. Hopefully it is not a sign of attendance or just general interest in the club this year?

Last thing Chipper wants is another TSN talking head fool bringing this up on TSN insiders BS chat.

Not familiar with the genre. Can you give some examples of white trash techno bands?

I would put them into the category of bad cover bands. Remember this from Spinal Tap?



Mach 10 is how I picture 4 Jacks and a Jill.

Maybe I'll piss off some techno fans, but isn't ALL techno white trash?

I'm the furthest thing from a music expert, but this article would suggest not.

Quick count shows 723 standard tickets (from TNSE, not resale) still available for the home opener. I'll be there, but a sellout would look great and hopefully set the tone for the season.

Looks like more standard tickets were released. Around 900 available for tomorrow. They'll need do some work to get those all sold.

I went and saw the Flames play (like crap) last year against the Kraken. My Mom was visiting me and she wanted to see the Saddledome. The Flames were losing 3-1 and they played Sweet Caroline to try to get the crowd into it. It was easily the least energetic version of that song I've ever heard, LOL. The crowd sing-a-long was a dull mutter at best.

Otherwise the Flames stick mostly to Dad rock and pop-country.
