This wouldnt be the first arena to do this. The ice in MSG is on the third level of the building. My Dad always said it was weird going there because it was the only arena where the bus had to go up to get to the rink.
But I agree having that many windows would definitely effect the lighting in the arena and as a player it would be very annoying. If it was just for public skating/shinny then fine, but would not be very good conditions for an actual game.
