Braves are also on their 3rd stadium since the Dome was built.

Georgia loves building new stadiums. State Farm Arena also got renovated two years ago for the cost of $192.5 million.

Those panels are LED displays. They're usually all red during game play, but can be changed as needed.

Are there 1776 panels? That'd be the icing on the cake.

I appreciate the Red Wings reserve in retiring jerseys. Suprised Red Kelly wasn't up there. Makes me wonder about Datsyuk and Zetterberg?

I’m so glad we don’t have something like that.

I found it difficult not to think of PacMan while watching that.

At least there are still lots of low digits available...The Yankees have retired 1-10.

13 is desirable...40 not as much

Yeah that’s the way you do it. You get the impression look for numbers to retire based on some type of schedule.

The Flames sent out a survey today on the arena. First very very very early look at potential ideas and prices for premium seating options. Cool to see what they are considering even if four years out, and arenas they are scouting.

Before you overreact be sure to read the disclaimer they included:

Disclaimer
Please keep in mind that these ideas are only concepts that are still works in progress. In addition, please note that pricing is an estimate, based on a full share, and is subject to change upon completion of the new event centre.

Premium Seats

Suites

Concessions

Yeah, filled mine out today. Some of the higher-end suites are hella pricey, but not sure what they cost today. All I know is my two seats and how much they cost

I took the survey.

Anyone else think they're about to price themselves out of their own market?

Season Ticket sales are going to be bad enough in the next few years. If they hike prices 20-35%? Ha.

If? I think you mean when. But it's going to be 25-40% just like the Oilers did.

Scrap the deal and let the franchise play out of another arena like they just did in Edmonton.

It made no difference to my experience as a fan and my municipal tax dollars didn't pay for that building.

Prices seem crazy!



Talking about $250+ for 300 level 'seats'. Are there regular nosebleed seats?
