Got this email today:
Please join us for dinner on The Observation Deck, now open at MTS Centre. The Observation Deck, located on the 300 level and overlooking the Portage Avenue Atrium, will offer patrons with 300 level tickets a hospitality option each Winnipeg Jets Game Day. A buffet will be served from 5:00pm to 7:00pm for a price of $44.95 per person (plus taxes) – price includes one complimentary beverage of your choice.

Thought that would be great until I saw the price. Outrageous. Mark and his people are startng to think it's a endless pot of gold here in Winnipeg! As I said once before, once upon a time the people of Winnipeg took the Jets 1.0 for granted and a bad thing happened to us, Mark don't follow in our foot steps!

Thought that would be great until I saw the price. Outrageous. I have made a reservation for the Carolina game, hasn't been confirmed yet. Its pricey for sure, but they have a fairly large selection of food. I just wonder now if you can go out on to the deck and eat without having the buffet?

Thought that would be great until I saw the price. Outrageous. Yeah it's hard to justify paying $44 for a buffet. I mean, if I'm just going to throw my money at True North, it might as well at least go towards their delicious $8 beers.

I too was excited until I saw the price. Thirty maybe, but $100 for two of us is crazy. My wife was also wondering why they offered the riff raff upstairs this offer, but not the money bags in the lower level. I could see this offer changing.

I have called and also emailed to make a reservation for Thursday night and have not received a call back or email back to confirm. (you would think that after sending out an email they would be wanting to confirm right away) I am concerned that they will not allow anyone out there anymore and will keep that area only for the reserved buffet eaters. If that is the case, I can't see this working at all. I like to go out there to get out of the congestion in the concourse

That's how I read it but I deleted the email... if so then I don't think it would change anything once the game starts.

It is a lot of money but it's not as if you're required to use the buffet. Any indication of the menu?

No mention of a menu, it sounds like it is only a before game buffet.

Personally its not for me....I am in a group with season tickets in the 300's and the price is out of my league.. however I'm all in favour of anything that creates revenue for True North (as long as the money goes into the franchise). But yea $40 plus bucks for a buffet....I'm happy with a Jets Dog....Gotta love those Jets Dogs...Perogies on a hotdog...freaking awsome!

Then again if they made this allot cheaper they might end up hurting all the business in the food court!
