bathroom closest to main entrance has 5 urinals, and I believe 4 stalls - there is so much much room at this place but they cram tiny little bathrooms in.
-The sound system is INCREDIBLY BAD - it sounds like all of the sound is coming from one speaker inside the scoreboard, and it sounds like it was tuned by some 16 year old DB (MOOAAR BASS!!!) - you truly couldn't hear what was being said half of the time.
-Hunter is as awful up close as he is in pics/videos.
-I am sure its due to cost, but there were very few children at the game - I really hope that if/when the flames get a new barn, they don't price families out of it.
-We had good lower bowl seats and there was still a plethora of sweatpants around.
-The arena is nice for sure, but I was expecting a lot more (don't know why)

Ive been to 3 games this year and ive yet to see someone wearing sweatpants at the new barn. Its a joke thats old and tired. A jab that isnt necessary.
Also, cant see how you can say the sound is bad. I thought it was totally fine for hockey. I attended a concert there and the sound actually blew me away, way better than i expected.
