I don't know where that seat is. The seats are relatively new and in good shape. The arena is clean and simple. The locker room/medical room/offices need work for sure. Glens Falls Hospital is 2 blocks away if needed.
What you can count on is the kind of crowd that will drive the opposition nuts....Here is an excerpt from an article a few years ago when Robin Lehner (Goalie) Bing. Senators had a meltdown.....and he won!!.....

"With B-Sens goalies Barry Brust and Mike Brodeur both out battling a flu bug, Lehner arrived just in time to backstop Binghamton to a 4-3 overtime victory over Michael Leighton and the Adirondack Phantoms on Sunday. And the the 19-year-old Swede said the 26-save win was that much sweeter because of the treatment he received from the fans at Glens Falls Civic Center.

“It was nice (to win) because the fans here are really dumb,” Lehner told the Binghamton Press & Sun-Bulletin in of the megaphone-wielding fans in the post-game report. “They scream at you, and one guy has a thing that really sounds a lot in your ears. It’s good for them. They’re helping their team out, of course, and it’s hard to play here. "

LOL.....That was the last time they played him here. Sec. N right above the visitors bench is notorious for abusing the away teams. There are megaphones, horns and guys who yell at the guys all game long. Goalies come for a drink and get yelled at. There is a guy in the sec over from us that has a 3ft megaphone that pretty much lines up with the goalie. He lets them have it all game long. It wears on them. We often get looks and verbal contact from the players. They do hear us...lol

I renewed my tix today and am excited to have your team here. I loved the PC. Nice to hear the Flames brass speak and loved their message.
