Alberta is very wealthy. They can afford the best money can buy. They're not going to build something ordinary like Staples Center or General Motors Place.

Ugly? You're crazy. Apart for Sprint Center, this is the first nice arena design I've ever seen proposed in north America. The standard arena on this continent looks like a giant Best Buy big box store.

I haven't come across any yet.

I just love this design. This is 10 times nicer than any arena in the world with the possible exception of the Sprint Center in Kansas City. It makes everything else on this continent look like a piece of crap. I'm just salivating over these renderings. About time we got something nice.

Covered in mercury! Sooooooo awesome! This could end up being my favourite project on the planet. :master:

I think we've reached a point in arena designs where being generic needs to be considered lazy, unambitious and flat out bad. This is why I applaud anyone attempting to make their own mark ... even the currently under construction arena in Perth, Australia. Aesthetically, it looks quite unpleasing but at least they have broken free from the mold.

Besides going to see the Leafs last year, I haven't watched an NHL game in about 10 years so I'll take your word for it! :colgate:
