Plus une chimère ici de la part de Zach Phillips de Leafs After Dark, qui est passé aujourd’hui, mais c’est toujours une pensée amusante
Quelles seraient vos suggestions ?

Just change the goal song back to Kernkraft 400 problem solved
Honestly the lack of energy the leafs have in their lower bowl is only going to start happening more and more across other sports and other teams. Not saying that’s an excuse for what the leafs allow and what they’re doing but the cost to go to a game is only ever going to keep increasing. Unless teams explicitly make initiatives to try and hold onto traditions and aspects of team culture you’ll only see sporting events being filled by more and more suits. Hockey in Toronto is just the first example because of how expensive hockey is to play and how exclusive a sport it has become, and how Toronto is the financial capital of the country. It sucks but sports have been trending this way for a while.
Fanduel wouldn’t like it, but you could implement those anti-phone pouches they have at concerts. I’m every game I go to, I just hear “oh my god my parlay hit”.
Is the suggestion “be good”?
Make the flag bearers local kids from a free lottery system again, give out free tickets to local kids again, and change the rules on front row seats so that its a free lottery to have a chance to buy the seats instead of letting season ticket holders and suits hold all the tickets and charge an organ for it
How bout we do the opposite and lean in to the “quiet crowd” allegations. No goal song and no goal horn. Just straight silence after a goal
Offer free Tshirts all game long.
Doesn’t matter if it’s fans in the 300s or ones at ice level, the second people see something free they go crazy for some cheaply made XL tee.
North American crowds at sports have always been “mechanical” – need a prompt on a score board on when to cheer or make noise. You don’t get this with the passionate crowds in sports in other countries.
I think for a start, I think MLSE needs to go full Ronald Reagan, and kick every season ticket holder out. Start from scratch. Try to emulate what Edmonton has. Look at their crowd look at all the fans they have everyone wearing a jersey. Do that. No corporate connections at all. Everyone’s vetted.
Can’t see the ownership that is extracting every last dollar out of pockets willing to sell like 500 tickets at <10% of face value
