The Fans still love ya, Jets.

Sunday went down as a great day in history for Winnipeg.

No the Jets didn't win their home opener but the atmosphere was unreal to say the least.

The MTS Centre was packed to the roof. Literally. I would say about 80% of the fans in there were in white, which was a good thing because that means when the Jets request a white-out, fans will know what to do.

The game started off with a ceremonial puck drop; Rick Rypien's mom had the honour.

Along with Rypien's mom in attendance were a few other known names.
Our Prime Minister Stephen Harper was there. He sat behind the Jets bench at ice-level. Pretty good seats if you ask me.

Gary Bettman, NHL's Commissioner was also there, as well as Premier Greg Selinger and Canada's Ambassador to the United States Gary Doer.

Selinger had a personalized Jets jersey with his last name on the back for a custom namebar and sported it with pride throughout the game.

As important as those names are to many people, the most important names in attendance were the last ones that belonged to each and every fan.

The loyal Jets fans that will come to every home game are who will make this team and franchise so successful this year and in the years to come.

You gotta give these people credit. They stay happy when our home team is losing, and they stay strong and loud when our home team is winning.

Tons of excitement filled the air and even though the Jets lost, the majority of the fans still had a happy attitude as they left the building.

HOWEVER;
I saw this poor little boy absolutely heartbroken and crying because the Jets lost. He was literally like 8 years old maybe. Die-Hard fans, gotta start em off young I guess.

It would take pages and pages to explain everything that happened during the day of the home opener, and the night for that matter, so maybe instead of me having to explain it; you should just try and get your hands on some tickets of your own so you can have the experience!
