another name change for the arena

[JATMtheJATM]

Detroit's new arena(sorry, I STILL can't bring myself to say its name)will also likely have some damned good sightlines, including a gondola seating level above the stands.

Detroit's new arena is supposed to be very reminiscent of old olympia. Very nice, but compact. First niagara is pretty compact in that way compared to other arenas built in that time period.

All arenas are built like this now. It's cause of luxury boxes and club seating.

Though, I've sat in the 300s. First niagara, for its capacity, has fine sightlines. You just have to know how to watch a hockey game.

**** off.

Know how to use x-ray vision to see through the head of the idiot in front of you?

What does this have to do with "knowing how to watch a hockey game"?

What particular bit of wisdom would solve this situation?

I wasn't talking about you.

Alot of people watch the game and aren't sure what they are watching. Unfamiliar with how the sport is actually played. These are the people bored of it. Or say it's too hard to follow the puck.

It's not hard to follow the puck if you understand the sport. I doubt you have this issue. Though some posters here I assume do.

Sabres say that changes to the arena should start soon now...first thing is taking down the First Niagara Center name that is on the outside of the arena and painting changing the name on the canopies that are over the entrances of the arena after that the new name KeyBank Center will be put up in it's place. It's not known if Key Bank plans to paint anything inside the arena all the work should be done before the Oct. 13th home opener against Montreal Canadiens

Boston's arena was originally called the fleet center.

It WAS going to be known as the Shawmut Center(after another bank in the area); however, during the time the arena was being built, Shawmut was bought by Fleet Bank...hence, the FleetCenter.

Ohhhh... I always thought it was Fleet Enemas.

I think I posted that up originally. They even had to replace the seats as all said "Shawmut center"

The Sabres' arena is 20 years old, and a lot has happened in two decades. @BNHarrington takes a look back. https://t.co/VGjjW29i3E pic.twitter.com/Xo6X5tv6kw
