Well to think of fuel prices then, I guess some people are more desperate to conserve fuel then to spend their money watching a game.

If you have the money to be sitting at a Sabres game, you have the money to pay your heating bill.

A few years back while we were back home visiting family my son and I drove to Toronto to catch an Argonauts game. It was free Austin Powers bobble-head night, but the Argos organization hadn't really thought about the logistics of how they were going to hand out these cheap little trinkets.

Near the entrance of the stadium they had a few young guys and girls bring out large cardboard boxes of the bobbleheads and open them up in the middle of the walkway. The crowd turned into a mob. I thought someone was going to get trampled [color=#80FF00](I experienced something similar when I saw the Grateful Dead at the War Memorial in the '70s and they only opened two doors to let the crowd in).

It was insane. However, my son ducked into the crowd and emerged with Austin Powers, Dr. Evil, and Mini-Me, which promptly got thrown into the back of his closet and forgotten.

People do indeed go nuts for free stuff, even if it is junk.[/color]

i wonder if the deadheads of the 70s were a litte more rougher...hmmm

That having been said, I'd use women and children as stepping stones to catch a free T-shirt out of Sabretooth's cannon.

Or how about how crazy people get when Sabretooth sets off the t-shirt launchers. It's a shit show. People are freaking out trying to catch a t-shirt that's probably a 5 XL that's made out of 1 ply toilet paper.
