The lower suites are reduced cause of how low they are to the ice (after the 13th row). And it is not a full ring. The upper suites are only goal line to goal line, also not a ring around. There will be a lot more in the new arena.

Although, those lower bowl suite are so close to ice, that all those clients will not happy on moving twice as far away from the ice for any kind of increased prices.
