I guess the Bell Centre holds more than it used to?

Yeah. They added 14 seats. It's going to take time to get used to it.

regarding this.

How big a hockey arena can be? (without having crappy seats). Could we build a 28k arena one day?

 

[coolasprICE]

Where..?

The shrinked the size of the penalty box.

You could have 28k seats in the bell center without building a new arena. Just have seats on the ceiling. The belts should be pretty solid though to prevent people from falling on the ice, but they'll have a nice bird's eye view of the play. Their necks might hurt after the game though. Problem of course is getting in and out of the seats.

21273 was a classic, everyone knew it.

Hi-yo!

"21,287 arbitres ici au Centre Bell réclament une pénalité."

Going to have to get used to it.

There is a direct correlation to the product on the ice and the crappiness of the seat.

So that's what Lucie was complaining about!

Emelin was given another day on this planet though, so we can consider ourselves lucky. When the good lord and our savior Jesus Christ closes a door he opens a window, it seems.

28,183 for a Playoff Game.

77,803

Though neither are 'Hockey' Arenas. And both had very crappy seats!

They should install TV on the seat's back

Sounds like a cool idea until someone falls and dies on the ice live on TV.

 

[yoyo999]

I don't know if I see them replacing the Bell Centre in my lifetime (I am 30). The location is to good and there's is to much development happening around it. It's the hub of downtown, maybe even the city.

That's not really a problem, just have a 3 second delay on the broadcast so they can cut the broadcast if anyone falls on the ice

Where..?

Les deux bancs des pénalités ont effectivement été raccourcis durant la morte-saison pour permettre l’installation de huit sièges supplémentaires, quatre de chaque côté.

Un abonnement de saison pour un billet à proximité du banc des pénalités se vend 7610 $.

http://blogues.radio-canada.ca/blog...on-les-fils-se-touchent-et-milan-lucic-aussi/

Ce changement permettrait donc au Canadien d’amasser 60 880$ supplémentaires par saison. Ce chiffre ne prend pas en compte les séries éliminatoires, donc on peut assumer que ce sera plus que ça à la fin de l’année.

Toutefois, ce n’est pas sans coût alors que selon le journaliste de Radio-Canada, la capacité des bancs a été diminuée et ce sera pratiquement impossible d’y asseoir plus que 3 joueurs.

We are so lucky to be sold out each game and we help filling empty seats in other arena that's just awesome for the home teams.

If we compare ourselves to the Panthers, we are so lucky:
October 2: 2 859
October 11: 11 419
October 13: 7 311

I mean....did they know that the season started on October 2?

The season didn't start until Oct 8, but still 2,859 is still brutal for a pre season game.
