Message: [QUOTE="brasssbonanzaa, post: 4499263, member: 794"] A couple things it appears they got right - the pitch of the seating bowl is [I]excellent[/I] for hockey. From the pictures I've seen, one of the best in the country. Also, the first row of seating is at the top of the boards, instead of level with the ice. This means fewer seats that are obstructed by the glass and folks in the front rows have a better view. Front row seats at any hockey game are BAD, I don't get why folks pay hundreds for it, but that's for another thread. Seems like they may have had some issues with ice quality last night, and probably will again tonight. That's fine! It's the most difficult thing to get right since you can't simulate how the facility will react with hundreds/thousands of people inside. It's fixable over time, and expected when you open a new facility. Now, if they can just get rid of that ridiculous deck which causes obstructed view seats and reduces the student seats, add 1,000 more seats, and build a closer parking facility that the general public can use this will be a spectacular arena for the program and fans.
