Message: [QUOTE="DblCrossbar, post: 4853959, member: 12251"] Thanks for posting. It’s an interesting take, and I agree with what Cavs had to say about the venue for the most part. Quite obviously the number one priority was creating a top notch facility for the players. It seems they have succeeded there. His take on the fan experience isn’t as minor as he‘d like to let on, but he’s very cautious with his comments. The sightlines would be ok if there wasn’t so much tall glass too look through at odd places. He doesn’t mention the value of a contiguous bowl being a requirement ins a small place like the TFIF. There are too many broken spots due to tall bench and Penalty rooms (too big to call a box) and the ice level lounge break up the continuity that helps generate a cohesive atmosphere. It would certainly help if all seats were legit filled. Maybe that was the case for the student only game vs Alaska last year, but with swaths of seats empty the vibe is significantly depressed and lackluster - despite what Cavs says about the volume of the place (unless he means the PA system that is too damn loud all the time) . The seat thing is an issue for ticketing to figure out and I have no solution there other than reducing season ticket packages or only offer them for half a season, and open up the box office for at least 500 seats per game.
