MTS Centre upgrades

[Oilkountry]

apparently these were just delivered this morning. I'm now confused on this scoreboard build Im thinking the white one is the bottom that faces the ice And the lit up on is in the centre of the scoreboard facing the longer sides of MTS

 

[Guardian17]

^^Nice!

 

[Hammer Slammer]

I like the new MTS Centre design. I don't really like the yellow and blue.

Wonder if they'll change the logo outside?

 

[roccerfeller]

^ its definitely a cleaner look all-white

OMG that's nice. Im more confused than ever now though. where is the other one? or is that the same one?

This part
***update Just got confirmation on twitter that the lit up giant jets logo will hang from the bottom of the scoreboard and obviously the one your seeing will be stationary. I also have a feeling that half circle will have screens on it for scores/time and game play information thus saving the main screen for play action.

I know, I was going to ask the same question. I'm starting to think TN is taking random pieces, and photographing them together in silly ways just to **** with our minds.

What section were you in?

If my seats get any more obstructed, I might just call it a day and go back to sitting on the glass watching the Moose.

322. Was pretty much on the aisle.

Nothing shocking about that.

They just added a bunch of seats and there is always turnover in season ticket holders.

The size of that scoreboard compared to the dude with the hard hat working inside it gives quite the size perspective.
Guess I won't be needing my Zoomies© anymore at games.

The only time I remember RCMP at a Jets game last year was at the second playoff game. Possibly because Stephen Harper was there that day...

RCMP - O Canada

OR, perhaps it was because they were making sure my brother or I didn't drop one of these again...

First pic is definitely Winnipeg Police Service, not RCMP. There would never be uniformed RCMP at a Jets game. It's common to see WPS walking around the MTS Centre though.

As for WPS attending games. For sure, the WPS is always at games. Sometimes even walking around with dogs.

I have noticed over the years that certain teams may request police presence at the gate where they enter and exit the ice surface. Most teams are fine with MTS Security but the Capitals for example always have the WPS stationed at the entrance/exit.

As for the last game Harper attended his security detail was plain clothed individuals. They stuck out a little with their ear pieces and lack of white.

The ones with the earpieces and vests stood out (by design), but you can bet there were probably a few more there that were disguised as white-out hooligans like the rest of us.

That number doesn't seem right. If 1200 of the 924 are non-renewals, that leaves 276 people who moved off the wait list. They put in 278 loge seats.

So what happened to the seats of the people who didn't renew for the season since all the movement from the wait list is accounted for by the addition the loge seats?

The math is wrong. It's 1200 seats which is 600 wait list spots. The early wait list allowed 1,2,3 or 4 seats. It no longer does.

I moved up 436 wait list spots last year from 3123 to 2687. Seems like a similar turnover happened this year. It will be interesting to see if they sell all the spots this year.

I don't know how many seats P3-P4-P5 comprise but let's just ballpark it at around 6000. I think they said 96% renewal rate so that means 4% didn't. Four percent of 6000 is only 240 seats opening up. But it adds to the 278 loge seats.

When do they announce your new position on the wait list?

 

[Hammer Slammer]

When do they announce your new position on the wait list?

All my email said was that it'll be communicated in August. So any time now I guess.

 

[JetsHockeyHero]

When do they announce your new position on the wait list?

During the week of Monday, August 24th

I couldn't find it but I thought I remember reading a story about how Harper got his security detail to join in with the whiteout.

 

[bodybreak]

Harper's security was in lighter coloured suits than usual during the Whiteout. As for police at games, there's always one at the bottom of 107 before games -- could have something to do with the visiting team tunnel being right there. Once the game starts, MTSC security replaces him.

It would be interesting to know of the 278 premium lodge..... How many did TNSE retain for game day sales or for advance NHL usage. If they retained say 20 % that's 55 tickets they would sell at game day price instead of season ticket price. If that's an avg of say 30% higher (A B C games) that would equate to an additional $ 100,000 per year profit based on a 45 game season. $ 150 k higher profit if they retained 30 % of the tickets
These new lodge seats are going to be in high demand and would be easy sells on a game to game basis. They are basically poor man private boxes with excellent sight lines.

I doubt they retained 20%. I would guess a much lower number. Maybe 25 or 30 seats. It also really depends on what the front row 300s decided. TNSE claimed that they offered the loge seats to season ticket holders in the front row of the upper deck. If there was a high demand, that would have reduced the number they kept available for game days.

That's what I'm hoping for

I can confirm that they offered the loge seats to the STH in Row 1 as our group accepted the offer. However, I have heard that others, not in Row 1, got an offer as well. So enough Row 1 STH declined the offer that they decided to extend the offer to other STH but I don't know how they would have prioritized who to offer them to.
