Tear it down and build a 12500 seat arena

And you'll pay for it how?

Do you think this arena should be their home forever? They started building the Civic Center in 1971. The arena is over 50 years old. How many hundreds of millions should they dump into this decrepit grey block of a building?

Where’s the expanded restrooms?
Nothing impacts the customers game day XL experience more than the halftime long lines that also logjam the concourse. The CRDA strikes out again for the fans but pads their own salaries for a few more useless years.

XL essentially exists for the CRDA’s benefit. Every decision hinges on what’s good for them.

How do you pay for a new one?

With money, like they keep dumping into the existing building. Mostly public money.

Unfortunately Fairfield County politicians blocked any chance of the Legislature approving funds for a new arena, or even an MSG-type of overhaul. So, incremental lower bowl improvements it is.
