I have aisle seats and I love them. I don't care how many times I have to let people by during the game, it's just part of the tradeoff. Heading down during TV timeouts is a great way to beat the lineups, and the freedom of being able to come and go at will without bothering anybody is the best, IMO.

If they are bugging you just ask them nicely to refrain from doing it. Were stuck with our neighbors for 3-4 years so lets make this as enjoyable as possible.

Hey gobombersgo, how are your seats and the fans around you??? I bet you'd be bitching too if you wern't happy. Stop trying to paint me as the bad guy here. How about we switch seats for a game or two. I know, I should just be happy with what I got, right??? There have been others on the forum upset with the seats they had to settle with, and with fans leaning/standing in front of them unable to see. My seats are row 8, in the 329, behind the goal. The net is partially obstructed, my seat is a corner seat (eliminated some of the already limited leg room) and you can't see anything behind the net at my end due to heads in the way. I can't wait to be there on Sunday and for the other 20 games I'll be attending this year. Suck it up princess.

It seems absurd that a lot of people would have to leave their seats during the game. An NHL period takes about 40 minutes max to play. It is followed by 20 minutes or so of intermission between periods...before, when I suggested that people consider using TV time outs to go to the washrooms, I mentioned the suggestion was for people that could get out of their seats easily -- i.e., people at the ends of the row....
as for complaints about MTS Centre...a) I wonder if it is that different from other NHL buildings and b) console yourself with this thought: the building of the arena on the Eaton's location is what got David Thomson, the richest man in Canada, in the TNSE ownership group and helped Winnipeg get an NHL team...had the arena been built somewhere else...

There have been others on the forum upset with the seats they had to settle with, and with fans leaning/standing in front of them unable to see. Thanks for the offer but I'll pass. I'd probably be one of the guys you would be bitching about. I couldn't care less if I had to stand all game because the people in front of me were standing. It has actually pissed me off watching the games on T.V. because people are sitting for the opening puck drop. I'm sure your drive is to far, and construction is to bad, and parking is to much, and your going to have to walk in the cold, and why is the upper such a long walk to get up there, and when I get up there I have to wait in lines, etc. Maybe you should have spent more money and sat with all the suits and ties at center ice in the lower bowl. Watch it on T.V. You don't have to drive You don't have to park You don't have to wait in lines You don't have to worry about the guard rails You don't have to deal with people getting up You don't have to deal with people around you And most of all you don't have to start a thread and make everyone here about your whining. Let me guess, Oct.9th it is going to be to loud. Much quieter in your basement! GO JETS GO and quit your bitching.

After all the responses I now understand how it works. I will now stand up when the fans in front of me do the same. I will also make every effort to consider my needs and wants over and above those around me, because according to many of the respondents that is how it should be done.

There are inconsiderate people at literally every major sporting and entertainment event in the world. It is something that is part of going to these things.
I used to get way more annoyed in the Moose days with the MTS Centre seeming to be used as a day care by parents, with packs of kids under no supervision doing what they pleased. That bothered me way more than a couple of drunk guys stumbling through the aisle a few times a period or a couples mingling in and out of their seats. Glad the fans there now are there for the game on the ice.

The one thing that shocks me a bit is why someone would pay so much not to watch the game. The guy sitting by me last game was only in his seat for less than two minutes in the second period. It was good for me as I had more space.
Their were many who would come up and down more 15 times for the game.
I left once during the second intermission to take my special needs daughter to the washroom.
Had to battle guys using the family washroom instead of the men's.
I can't understand for the life of me why people pay all that money not to watch the game. It's their choice but I actually like to watch the game.
I noticed it as well at Bomber games. I think less and less people actually sit and watch the game than 15 years a go when the Jets were last here.
Maybe it's only my view but I feel more people now seem to treat as social thing in a way that I was at the game rather than care about the game it self.
How does everyone else feel? Are their less hard-core fans and more just happy to be their fans now?

love my seats and people around me are nice and rowdy. Ya man! the louder the better. And I'm with the dude who said he'd love to stand all game. Me too. If people if front of me stand, awesome, then I have a reason to stand. Just like if I stand and your behind me, stand up as well... chances are we're standing cuz something good is happening.
