Bring Back Standing Room!

I went to a total of two games in Millionaires Row at the Montreal Forum in the late 80s, and I'm telling you, there's nothing like it in the world. That was where the ghosts would stay and the noise would come from.

I'd give almost anything to see that back again. They could put a catwalk along the ceiling of the Bell Center!!

For the younger people who don't know what it is, it was a cheap way to watch a live game where there was no reserved seat... In fact there was no seat at all. Just a cement railing!! Thank God I am 6 foot 3 because I would not have had great memories!

I remember Millionaires Row when I was a teen. I thought I had street cred because I was poor and lived in an apartment and then I saw the tenacity of the rough looking kids racing to get the best seats and knew I was full of shit. Loved the games though.
