This is actually a pretty solid idea. Cram in a dozen seats, charge through the nose for em and sell them to the high end corporate crowd. The NHL equivalent of "court side" seats.
I think they should leave the Penalty Box as it is and sell it as the Penalty Box Experience. Two high priced tickets in each box and the dude in the suit gets drinks and food as per your order.

You go to the box, two minutes all by yourself. You feel shame and then you get free.

I like the penalty box as is.
Sure a penalized player could just hold the bench instead, but there is more to the penalty than just being held off the ice for 2 min.
There is no communication from the coaching staff. After the penalty is expired the penalized player has to return to the ice, if only to go to the bench. The 'ol penalty expired break away has to be by the penalized player also.

I think the "Skate of Shame" is classic...the poor slob has to skate, with his head down, back to his irate coach, after his team surrendered one, because of his stupidity...worth keeping the penalty box just for that!

I used to work at airport security and the Flames would come through after or before a game and once when Sutter was still coaching/gm one of the ladies selected him for a random pat search.
I could tell he was fairly uncomfortable about it so I was professional and he was good, I got the search done and he was cleared to go. I threw in a random Oilers joke and got him smiling.
Every time he came through security after that we would chat for 5-10 minutes about the next game coming up and make some good cracks at the Oilers expense.
Jokinen came through once after playing the Flames, we lost that game and Jokinen looked like such a tool so I ripped all the stuff out of his bag and took 15 minutes checking every little seam on his bag, then took some products away from him. It was pretty funny because the next year he was playing on the Flames.
Oliwa was always funny when he came through and it seemed like him and Chris Simon we're good buddies. Simon was kind of a dirtbag as he would always hit on this girl I worked with who had crack head teeth and was just gross.
