I'm probably weird this way, but I find it the opposite. I find places devoid of ads look like an arena from some oppressed communist dictatorship country. Like the pictures i see of North Korea's subway system or their downtown. It just looks eerily Soviet to me.
Edit: Just to be clear, I'm not saying I like Spengler cup levels of ads where the whole jersey is covered and players are basically a skating advertisement. But I like the level of ads we currently see in the NHL.
