I think the biggest issue is that it’s such a mish-mash of a design. Seems to be all over the place: It has some windows, then it has this so called “ribbon” which they say wraps around but doesn’t. There looks to be lots of blank/dead space and then of course, a hideous parkade which is impossible to make look good, it just cheapens that side so much.
Overall I think most would agree that it’s quite a confusing design but we’re stuck with it now so I hope to God they don’t mess up the inside.
I don’t think it’s unreasonable for taxpayers paying for half of this thing to have questions and concerns about how it’s going to look and function.
The new renders give me more hope for the Main Street and area. And if that works, hopefully the exterior of the arena won’t be as important.
As of today though, I think I give this a 6 out of 10. Which is may better than my reaction to the initial renders posted which was 1 at best.
And for Gods sakes, do not fill the concourses with stupid pickup trucks! I want to key all of them!
