Belmont will be empty too.I happen to love my seats at Barclays - i think i have one of the best bang for the buck locations there. That being said, the fact that you have to know where to sit at the arena speaks volumes about it overall. Now its true that whether someone else's view is obstructed has no bearing on my particular view. But when an arena has such a bad reputation that no one wants to go, it does start affecting you as the place is pretty empty.
I don't think its as bad as some say but the bottom line is its not a good place for a hockey game.
And the reputation of Barclays was certainly not helped by whiny Long Islanders.
It's obviously not built for hockey and 20% of the seats are unusable. The ice is poor. But the seats and sight-lines themselves (from unobstructed sections) and the "atmosphere" is the same as almost every other NHL arena.
