I've been to the Sky Lounge in Edmonton a few times for work. I could make an argument it makes sense from a business networking standpoint, but the fan experience is not great. They are objectively the worst seats in the building, particularly when play is at the other end. Fans aren't engaged / wearing jerseys. It feels very separate from the rest of the arena. I like sushi and prime rib as much the next person, but it makes for such a disjointed experience.

With what the survey shows though, they want to make the games a hybrid experience of those who want to see the team up close in action, and making it a social event as well. It's the trend for all new stadium/arena builds. Either make lots of money from those in the seats the whole game, or make lots of money from those in the lounges/suites a fair amount of the time.
