If you look at the video I posted earlier of the view from the Gondola seats at Little Caesars arena, you can see that the view of the scoreboard is unobstructed.
This is likely equivalent to where the highest level of the inverted bowl would be. As long as the lower levels have a decent amount of separation between them, I wouldn't expect it to be a problem.
As you can see at the start of the video, at Little Caesars they also have regular seating behind the gondolas, which do have an obstructed view of the scoreboard. They have smaller duplicate screens on the back of the gondolas to provide people in those seats a clear view of the video screen and scoreclock. This is similar to what we already have at the Saddledome in the Press Level seats.
If they do the full inverted bowl for the new building, there shouldn't be any problem with sightlines. If they do a hybrid something like Little Caesars, then they'll probably have to provide some supplemental screens for those behind the inverted sections.
