I remember that, and the many home playoff games I got to attend during the 04 run.
I was working at the mall at the time and got to be friends with a couple guys at Sportchek. And they had draws at the stores to buy PO tickets because of the demands. There were kind enough to "draw my name" to buy 4 seats for every PO game up at the Sportchek zone (now the PL section). Those are not assigned seating, and every game a couple of my buddies went into the dome the minute they opened the doors (like 3-4 hours before game time) to grab seats with the best views. The amount of beers we consumed during the 04 run was obscene!!
Eventhough the dome is now old and deemed unsuitable for NHL hockey games and concerts, I fear that the new arena will just be another cold, cookie-cutter, soulless square box without any character.
