Alumni Plaza update

So the scourge of live event ticket pricing is the sponsor of the outside fan plaza?

There is a joke in there somewhere.

I would like to seen Jimmy Schoenfeld up there

I think RJ deserved more than a quote. It almost hurts a little more to have a quote but not an image. Especially such a generic one.

He has been the one AMAZING constant for this franchise from the French Connection on. 

A real missed opportunity to “permanently” memorialize him on the side of the building with so many other infamous Sabres.

I agree, but there are so many things that could be done there.

I know a lot of cities don't have much around their arena, but how about making the plaza a little bigger/better? the area under and behind the pedestrian bridge, why not do something there?

It could be as simple as installing some type of screens/white walls and when people are going into the games, play all time Sabres highlights on them through a projector: the Mayday goal, the fog goal on Bernie Parent, or a dozen other ideas....maybe you play some lesser-known highlights from the team you are playing (if they are playing St. Louis, play some clips of highlights from St. louis games on a loop).

Maybe put up some kind of awning/tent/cover over that area and put up some outdoor heaters there so even in the cold weather games, people can stop by and see or do something there.   I'm not too good at ideas for this stuff, but turn Alumni plaza into something more than it is now.

I like where MJD is going.

I would make it known I am creating a world class space for playoff parties to come.

The whole area needs some good old fashioned curb appeal. The front of the arena is so drab... or was the last time I was there.

Its like many of us talked about the Atrium..they could do SO much more with it. How about something, some kind of 'fan experience' better than what they have out there..so the 'fan experience' starts outside and then continues into the building in the Atrium?

Like bricks from the Aud with your name carved on it placed outside.

No one likes Ticketmaster as a business, yet go ahead and slap their name on Alumni Plaza. Not sure what is worse, the outrageous fees of Ticketmaster, or PSE cheapening an area championing the alumni in order to make a few bucks.

To both businesses I say…FU.
