The Flames faithful began filing into the dome hours ahead of their season opening tilt with the San Jose Sharks.
Most clad in red of course, were willing to forgive and forget about the 119 day lockout that left fans looking high and low for their hockey fix.
One couple on their way into the dome told 660News they could barley contain they’re excitement.
Conner says, “I’m so excited you have no idea, I’ve been a flames fan my whole life I missed it it a lot.”
Meanwhile Kailey says, “It’s nice to get back It’s been a while since I”ve been to a game so I’m really excited!”
Brent Gibbs with the Flames FanAttic mentions a sale that saw club merchandise at 50 percent off sat well with fans, sales were strong leading up to the season opener.
The Flames lost the opener of the 48 game regular season 4-1 to the Sharks.
