I'm not a huge fan of the looks of the building. Buildings that are built to appear ultra modern usually look ultra outdated in 20 years IMO. I'd probably have preferred something with a more classic look.
With that said, building appearance is pretty much the last thing I am concerned about with a sports building. Hopefully they do the most important things right and the new building has great sight lines as well as ample concourse space and ease at getting refreshments/bathroom breaks.
I recently visited the Vancouver rink for the first time and I was pretty surprised at how cramped their concourses were for a newer building. Hopefully the Katz machine doesn't make the same mistake.
