Its ok.

The design doesn't really embrace the location to its fullest.
Nice interior but the bowl could be intimate...well thats just the feeling I get.

Mr. Fitz · March 13th, 2010, 10:11 PM

Dislike it.

TheKorean · April 11th, 2010, 06:57 AM

So is this underconstructions? I wish the Islanders would move here too.

The seating bowl is built around a basketball court, so no, likely not happening.

Isles should move north of the border, anyway.

^No I heard that it can actually host hockey games. And no, no more teams in Canada please. 6 is good enough.

Benn · April 13th, 2010, 04:29 AM

In the same sense that the Conseco Fieldhouse can, with one whole end of the arena totally useless. It will have good sightlines for basketball, but won't be able to support more than a minor league hockey team.

And as far as track records go in terms of fan support a couple more Canadian teams would be beneficial. Who on earth decided it would be a good idea to put a team in Pheonix or Nashville?

If you truly feel this way then I hereby challenge your hockey/NHL fanhood.

"The Nashville Predators tallied up 216 points in the last two seasons, fifth most in the NHL, yet because of below-average attendance, the team will still have a real cash loss of $27 million during that time. Additionally, that loss is despite receiving the most money in the league from revenue sharing. Over the last five years, the team has lost over $60 million."

I'm not a fan of stealing American teams and relocating them to Canada (aside from the Coyotes because they are originally from Winnipeg anyways) but those comments from TheKorean are indeed funny. To be honest, I think the Islanders should just fold. The NHL should have less teams ... 26 sounds good (with 8 in Canada) ... there is just too much talent dilution in NHL and NBA with the current 30 teams setup.

Hahahahahahahahahaha

And may I ask you why 6 teams in Canada is enough? Perhaps its your overwhelming ignorance. Or perhaps you prefer teams that lose heaps of money.

That must be it.

That article is 3 years old. How are the Preds doing now? (honest question)

Every game I tried to go to was sold out and I couldn't get a ticket. Maybe I'm just randomly choosing the popular games.

Old news. Yes they were losing money. But you seem to forget everything that happened recently. They have new owners, they are starting to make profits. Look it up, yes its with revenue sharing but its still improvement and the Preds will keep improving.

The ignorance here is overwhelming. Its like you guys choose to ignore certain informations.

14000/17000 isnt bad, at all. Devils are doing almost as bad attendance wise. No ones calling them to move. And Avalanche finished bottom 5 in the attendance this year.

6 teams is enough for Canada, maybe S. Ontario can support one more. But if you think QC and Winnipeg can support teams you are joing. More to NHL teams then just attendance. Which is why League wanted a team in Atlanta so bad. And to them its important to keep a franchise there, along with other major league sports leagues. Atlanta=Corporate support.

No, KingmanIII I read that post. I was saying that I heard somewhere that it can actually host hockey games without being like US Airways Center.

Here's a piece from December

Problems are still there. Average attendance under 15k with cheap tix and pleny given away.
