Last night the Pens were in Winnipeg which is arguably the loudest arena in the NHL. Jets fans are always into the game whether it be taunting the opposing star play or goalie, or reacting to close shots they are always making noise and being loud.
Now lets compare that to the atmosphere to Corporate Entitlement Center....I mean Consol Energy Center. When was the last time a Pens game was this loud? Maybe for a few minutes in the playoffs. Its actually pretty bad when people tell you that the Black and White scrimmage was the loudest they've ever heard Consol Energy Center. Since the Pens move to Consol Energy Center from the Civic Arena the atmosphere at Pens games has been completely different. Remember this?
This will never happen at CEC. Why? Because at least 75% of the fans that go to CEC every night are rich corporate tool bags that look at the game as a social gathering rather than a sporting event. It's no longer "Oh man I can't wait to go to the Pens game tonight" its now "Haha I have Pens tickets and you don't." If you look at the crowd in Winnipeg last night, at least 95% of the fans there were wear a jersey or some kind of Jets apparel. At Consol on any given night it 80% shirt and tie or business attire with spots of people wearing a jersey or other Penguins attire. Consol will never be like a Winnipeg or a Montreal or even Philadelphia for that matter. Yes. We just said that the atmosphere at Flyers games is better than at Consol. If you don't like it stop reading. Truth hurts. Consol will never be like any of those arenas because the rich corporate cock hats won't let it. Just read some of these tweets I got last night about Pens games. (There are even a couple Baby Pens tweets thrown in there)
