Nice looking building, but I don't like the team that plays in it.

lol! 7.5/10

Horrible, like a car park

I like the steep slopes of the arena putting the fans very close to the action. Looks like a very intimate setting for a big arena.

TooFar · July 13th, 2005, 03:52 AM

Who cares what it looks like from outside, it is how it is configured on the inside that matters, and it is configured pretty well IMO. Very close to the action no matter were you sit. Great venue for both hockey and rock concerts, although I have never sat/stood in the nosebleed seats. 9/10.

I believe it is the largest NHL Arena.

What do you think of the Bell Center in Montreal??
Capacity: About 22 000.

Gjm130 · July 30th, 2006, 10:42 AM

It was built in 1996 and it's capacity is 21 273. Largest in North America. And 3rd most profitable arena in North America !! Home of the Montreal Canadiens.

It has 3 decks !! a 400 section !!!

Largest what in North America? If you mean "arena", then Rupp Arena in Lexington, Kentucky has that beat with a capacity of 23,000.

Oh I know why I said that....
Because the Bell Center's hockey capacity is about 22 thousand.
I guess the basketball capacity is about 23k.

Dreamlıneя · August 1st, 2006, 03:21 AM

It's nice.. I like it

skaP187 · July 30th, 2006, 10:54 AM

it is allright!
3 decks, so you can put it in the 3 tires stadium thread too I guess

samsonyuen · July 30th, 2006, 03:31 PM

It's a nice arena. I saw the Madonna concert there last month. The views are quite good even from the 400 section!

Isaac Newell · July 30th, 2006, 10:05 PM

I've sat in the club seats (the middle deck) good view but I found the atmosphere disapointing, I expected more passion. They weren't playing the Bruins though. Quite a few people wearing Nords shirts and I even saw a Leafs jersey.

Nice hotdogs though, toasted!

Really?? It is known that Montreal has the best atmosphere in the NHL. They sold out all of thier games at like 22K. Yes! The McCain hot dogs are amazing and the fries too.

mikeeagle · July 31st, 2006, 12:45 AM

If you want atmosphere, go to a playoff game. There're so many regular season games it makes many of them unimportant.

I remember the Stanley Cup Finals this year. The games in Edmonton - unbelievable !!! I would have loved to be there. My TV is connected to my stereo and I turned up the volume to get something of the atmosphere. The whole stadium singing the canadian anthem was impressing.

cmoonflyer · July 31st, 2006, 06:00 AM

Nice design !

Gjm130 · July 31st, 2006, 08:54 AM

The first deck is awfully long....about 40 rows up !!!

You know the WWE SuperShow is coming to the Bell Center in Septembr. Got myself some good tickets. First row of the second deck. Section 211 !!
