Imagine the opposite of a stadium experience. Set up a 5000 person arena for a Maple Leafs vs Canadiens game. Or a BoA? How much could you sell those tickets for? The Corral was just over 7000 people. I'm old enough, but unfortunately never got to attend a game there. Must have been glorious. If I get the opportunity to attend a Coyotes game in that venue, I might take it. It's a novelty that will wear off, but will be interesting for a short time.

The Corral was super fun for the fans. IIRC, the top row was about 16 or 20, so you can imagine that the worst seat in the house was better than more than half of the Dome. I guess the worst "seat" would have been the standing room only crowd, but even that would be reasonably close to the action.
Not so fun for the players. Dressing rooms are atrocious, and the boards were high and basically made of concrete.
