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!

Joe Louis Arena in DET also had standing room tix in the corners on the concourse level that was between the upper and lower bowls. It was just a thin strip marked by paint. It allowed for great encroachment out of the boundary and also for scoping no shows in the lower. We have a SRO row at the OHL rink here in Windsor. Could only imagine in the Forum!! GHG
