Yep, I gotta say, having been in Rogers lots of times, it’s not that impressive a building for all the hoopla and taxpayer cash give away. The acoustics are way better than Rexall and the vending is marginally faster (with no improvement in food quality) but they still insist on decanting every drink into plastic cups (even bottled water, ffs) and there’s no cup holders in the upper bowl. Restrooms are a long walk and the aisle dividers mess with sight lines. It seems the only concern of the client was the loge seats and the private boxes. Naturally enough, I guess, peons be damned. Calgary should shoot far higher, and design the building with the average (well monied) fan in mind.
