Ya.I was in there about a month ago,total construction site! The new seats are awesome! The lower bowl seats are a maroon colour(redish purple like GM place).They are supposed to get a new scoreboard as well.Also upgrades to the iceplant and facilities such as concessions and washrooms.All thanks to the federal money for the olympics...

They really needed a new scoreboard. Glad to hear they got it.

hey rinkrat

are the seats the same style as GM place?

Did you get a chance to sit in them?

Do the corner sections still have temporary seating for rows 1-3? (reason i ask is cuz i sit in row 4 in the corner and i would hate to lose my ample amount of leg room i have.

Just wondering if you knew the answers to those questions

Cheers!

The temporary seats were not there when I was in the rink.It was a major construction zone!The new seats look great,I didn't sit in one,though.I went in to see the seats I purchased,but they were removed as well.Row 7 behind the benches...

The lower bowl seats should all be in for the Home opener, and the upper bowl should be complete before the World Juniors.

Rows 1-11 Sectiona E thru J and Sections R thru W will not have the new seats in place till Sometime before the end of the year. Basically some of the best seats in the House.....

This is because these are retractable seats that have to be built offsite.

Upper bowl is about 1/2 Done now.

A new replay screen has been installed.

So,Joey was B.S.ing us at the recent season ticket event? He clearly stated that all lower bowl seats will be installed by the home opener...
