So first off i would like to say I have better be so happy to be at a game they lost so badly. My reason for this was because, for those of you who weren't at the game, they have started a lot more marketing gimmicks for during the games and I won one of them. I was the guy they "moved up" which meant they gave me seats right behind the glass in these nice padded and cup holder friendly seats next to the zamboni entrance. All I had to do was fill out some paper with my name and info then they asked what kind of car I drive. They also asked for my cell number and not 10 minutes later they called and let me know that I was one of the winners. They let you bring one person down with you to watch the game and two people are picked. The other person that won was this really great older lady who had been a season ticket holder for 25 years and really knew her red wings. we let them sit on the glass for the first period and then they told us we needed to sit on the glass so we can pound the glass and fire them up a little for the 2nd and 3rd. They also interview us for the Joe Vision during one of the TV time outs. It was really something special.
They also hired this girl (who is really hot and really nice) to do live cuts during break with the fans. for me it’s a really cool thing because it brings the fans into a lot more than just have some words up on the Joe Vision.
They have also started doing the season ticket holder of the game (which I know has already been brought up but I am going to do it again). This is a pretty cool thing because I think they are trying to reward all the people who have stuck in for a long time. The first guy was the best so far because he had been a season ticket holder for around 50 years and he looked as excited as a kid when they gave him the signed Cheli jersey.
Last thing i noticed was that starting in February almost every other game they are giving something out to the fans when they enter. Pretty nice stuff too like travel coffee mugs, Zetta flag, etc.
