Flames to host Saddledome viewing party for Game 3
Flames to host Saddledome viewing party for Game 3
The Calgary Flames will open the Saddledome for fans to watch Game 3 Sunday night
The Flames delivered some not so hot news and some good news Thursday regarding viewing parties for upcoming games.
The not-so-hot news was that due to damage sustained in the wind storm Wednesday, in addition to a bad Friday weather outlook, there will be no Red Lot Community Viewing Party Friday or Sunday, when Game 3 is being played in Edmonton.
The good news is that instead of a parking lot, Flames fans are being invited to take the viewing party indoors, to the Saddledome, for a C of Red Family Viewing Party.
Up to four free tickets for the Saddledome viewing party will be available starting at 9 a.m. Saturday morning.
The Flames are asking that people only ask for as many tickets as they are likely to use, to avoid wasting tickets.
The tickets have no cash value and are non-transferable.
The Saddledome will have a reduced capacity for the viewing party.
Doors open at 5 p.m. Sunday.
Flames currently lead the series 1-0 after a 9-6 win in Game 1 Wednesday night.
