Message: [QUOTE="DblCrossbar, post: 4794648, member: 12251"] To some degree you are correct, but there are too many broken spaces in the “bowl” where seating is and too much glass that hides play and other fans and the disjointed feeling makes it harder to fell like you’re one big group who cheers in unison. Also there are too many entire rows of seats that are unoccupied for what is purportedly a sold out game. What gives there? Terrible! We don’t even hear the oohs and ahhs when a shot is taken - no excitement and most of it is because the design works against fans. The bowl of the XL/HCC with its great sight lines is almost perfect beyond any arena and that includes TD garden and MSG. It’s simple, steep, and raucous even when 60 percent filled. It’s doubtful, but it would be great if they scheduled 6-8 there every season. Say what you will but that place at least has soul vs the antiseptic look and feel of Tuscano. [/QUOTE]
