This was posted by Vivianmb a while ago. It has potential to be a gold mine, atleast i think so.
"i like the sens club post. THE RUNWAY Where to go before and after the JETS games.totally JET themed.bring in an ex-player to be host.have autograph signings every few weeks.set up a small studio to do between period shows , pre game shows and post games shows on location. like a sort of fan central for the Jets.also maybe they could hold rallys and charity events by the team there.this thing couldbe awesome. "
I still love that idea Vivian...
They could bring in NHL stars of all sorts to get people coming down to that bar, not just ex-Jets. They could have current Jets, ex Jets, who ever they want to host party nights or somthing where you have to buy tickets to get in. Show old games, do whatever. it could be open all the time, people could go there just to go to a bar. Bars have potential to be very lucrative. if this thing was all about jets theme, it has potential to build fan support because people who are not hockey fans who go there and have a good time would be more inclined to start watching more hockey. Show games at the bar IF the game is sold out, which it would be, and have drink specials all night, etc. Throw down some more ideas for this people, i know i had tonnes, but none are coming to me right now.

i also really really like this idea. i think this could really fly(get it....i know cheesey ). maybe build it up so that there is a family section and a bar section for all the rowdies. this would build a fan base and bring fans together before and after the game. this would be the place to be for sure. also, i think it was mentioned before as being part of the family section, having a bit of a hall of fame set up in there with interactive games. ex) slap shot/accuracy game, goalie interactive games, play by play simulated booths, etc. those of you who have been to the hall of fame in toronto will know what im talking about. like i said before i really think this idea will fly

just posting here to keep this one fresh.like the next cold beer . ;D....how about adding "big game nights"oilers in town ...ladies drink free ;D flames comin to the peg ...free drink every time the jets score. ticket raffles and 50/50's would be cool too.and to decorate we buy or accept donations of cool,rare jets memorabilia.anyone have any money to go in with me.we could lease the building long term and take the loss till the nhl comes.or maybe we could buy it outright.is it for sale?i'm tellin you this place would be gold!i'll put the farm up for it.

Vivian you have strucken a golden idea. ;D
Again I will repeat my ideas in having a familly chucky cheese Jets Hockey themed game room and restaurant would be a nifty idea.
Also having a Manitoba/Jets Hockey Hall of Fame. something comperative like what they have in toronto but in a smaller scale obviously. I think a good home for the Manitoba/Jets HHOF should be at the corner of portage and garry in the old bank building. In the this building there would also be offices for the Manitoba hockey league (minor hockey and major junior hockey....)

I'll have this thing running in 2 years right beside the MTSC already have plans underway to open a sports bar beside the MTSC. If everything goes according to plan it will be completely related to the Jets. Picture Hooters except 10 times better.

The *exclusive* Jets beer should be called "Jet Fuel".
Throw back 6 or 7 of those before a Jets game... you'll be good to go!

With this Idea, they could make profit off other teams as well... "WHAT?" Here me out... Sports select could throw the Winnipeg Jets a fork load of cold hard cash to hand Sports Select logos all over. They could have Sports Select Thursdays, and Sports Select Saturdays and have people who go there, with Sports Select Tickets entered into a draw to win a Jets Jersey every Thursday and Saturday night.
During the Thursday and Saturday nights, they would show headliner games... Colorado-vs-detroit. St. Louis - VS- Edmonton Calragry - VS- Chicago Who ever! They would have the hockey games on, and just get people cheering and getting rowdy, and most importantly spending vast amounts of money even if the Jets have the night off...
If this place had themed nights all the time, and prizes more often that always it would get one helluv a reputation. (Cosco is a great example. They have samples off food ALL THE TIME! people go to cosco laughing because they think to them selves "i get a free lunch." Meanwhile cosco is laughing because you just did your grocery shopping there insted of somewhere else... and bought a few of the sample items that you otherwise wouldn't have purchased!). People would be making phone calles deciding what they wanted to do.... Then they would think, Hey if we go to the run way we might win somthing, they are always giving out free sh*t. It could also have a McDeal day type effect. When people are thinking about mcdonalds, they wonder what day it is... Wednesday, oh thats McChicken! So if the Run way have Sports Select day, and a few other Themed events, it might be a happening place 7 days a week. can you say CASH GRAB !?!?!?!

i dont know how to put it on the computer ,but the runway could incorporate the70's/ 80's jets logo by replacing JETS with RUNWAY with the Y being the hockey stick.WINNIPEG would remain untouched.the jet in the circle could be changed to a beer mug or something else associated with a pub.can anyone draw that on the computer.

has anyone here ever been to Shanks in Calgary? It is a huge place that has video games everywhere, pool tables, mini golf, darts, you name it, and best part of all it is a bar and serves food. I always had a great time there and it was always full. I always thought Winnipeg needed a place like that. It sounds like the Runway could be this and a lot more. I think it is a great idea. You could have a "Showdown" competition a few times a year. People pay to enter the contest and then compete in hardest shot, shooting accuracy, etc.

someone mentioned the runway in another thread so i thought i'd drag it back to the top.how about free mug night.first ten guy's (or gals)wearing jet jersey on game night get free jets beer mug.with unlimited refills for that night. we could also sponsor a citywide open invitation hockey tournament for the much desired RUNWAY MUG a giant silver plated beer mug with the runway logo on it .championship game to be played at mts before a jets game.
