I wouldn't be surprised if the image was manipulated for effect, but modern LED lightning does some amazing things for visual impressions (colors & sharpness) especially in an empty building. My impression of the 1980 Rink-Herb Brooks Arena when my wife & I visited for an ECHL game in 2016 was that the facility had "very clean lines" within the bowl, which are consistent with the image.It's so sharp looking it looks fake. I'm of an age when I can remember top of the line expensive photography equipment not taking pictures that sharp.
I know what you're saying about LED lighting. The DCU Center used to have a yellow hue with the old lighting system.

+1 ... or make that +2, my wife enjoyed it as well.... Lake Placid is a great little town. I could stay there for months in winter. ...
Not a good situation at all. You have to wonder if this could impact the entire bubble. If one team has had to withdraw entirely it's safe to say the bubble has definitely popped
