I remember watching the 1972 winter olympics in Sapporo, Japan on TV and the hockey venue had clear plexiglass boards.
I know that the Minnesota Fighting Saints of the WHA had an arena with plexiglass boards as well.
What was the benefit? None that I could see, maybe the box seat fans could see the action down low, or maybe the TV viewers got a better view of those revealing female legs.
I would assume hard plexiglass would be more costly.
Maybe it was just a novelty liek the red puck.
