The XL Center is now People's Bank Arena. *nm*

I thought after the roof collapsed they rebuilt it for 16,000? Did they save the bathrooms from the old capacity? I have no idea.

I think I remember that before the collapse, the food stands were on the inside of the concourse. If so, probably not.

I don’t recall any changes to the configuration after the collapse I was there that night, but I was pretty young.

Once it changes names 4+ times we should just revert to the original name, it’s the civic center.

They paid for the name. It's good to reinforce sponsors for their support of UConn sports. Thanks People's Bank!

The original building was built for about 10,500-11,000 seats. After the roof collapsed they rebuilt the building with 15,000 seats. That's at least what I remember. Wikipedia could be wrong but that's what it says here too.

I say yes because there used to be food stands where the current bathrooms are.
