The sightlines are generally pretty good but one thing I always felt sitting in the upper seats is the feeling of isolation not being able to see the other side of the arena as there's the feeling of being in a dark, sequestered area of the arena and that takes away from the experience when celebrating goals, etc. Most of the other complaints are pretty standards food, bathrooms, etc but I've just never liked the sagging roof and will be happy to see this facility gone.

Yeah nothing wrong with the sightlines but you certainly feel distant from the ice. Anyone that has gone to the rinks that go up more vertically would agree that it creates a much better energy and experience.
