As arenas as mais más de NHL?

SI.com fêz recentemente uma coluna sobre cinco stadiums os mais maus. Começou-me que pensa sobre arenas do hockey; nós somos afortunados em Washington ter grande agora (embora alguns puderam discutir que o centro do tampão teve seus encantos). Naturalmente, não todas as equipes são assim afortunadas. Estão aqui alguns fora do alto de minha cabeça:

- Nassau Mausoleum Coliseum. Quando a palavra “que se deteriora” é usada freqüentemente descrever sua arena, você sabe que é mau.

- Arena de Mellon. Não todas as arenas velhas são terríveis; Eu sou um ventilador enorme de estruturas antigas como RFK ou Stadium do trapaceiro, e eu amei o Vet. Mas este é um lugar que é após sua prima. Felizmente para penas ventila, eles têm somente alguns mais anos a resistir lá.Centro de Air Canada, dezembro 2006

- Centro de Air Canada. Eu sei, mim estou no minority aqui. Mas além dos offerings da cerveja (tamanhos diferentes da cerveja, e dos vendedores da cerveja), eu não fui imprimido excedente. Não era a arena que a mais má eu estive dentro, mas eu não gostei dos trilhos entre fileiras (nos nosebleeds, em todo o caso) e ser assim faraway da ação. Os suites (retratados) olharam mais como eram parte de um dollhouse do que uma arena. Pelo menos Jardins da folha do bordo teve o caráter real e uma posição melhor. (Eu, entretanto, apreciei o mini-museu do ACUMULADOR de folheio história.)

É um pouco sad que a maioria de arenas são meramente aceitáveis, em vez de proeminente. Então outra vez, não ajuda que as arenas são multi-usam tipicamente facilidades, e equipes do hockey tem que compartilhar do espaço com as equipes ou os circuses de NBA. Someday eu gostaria de começar a todas as arenas, similares ao 30 jogos em 30 noites o guy, e descobre o mais melhor do grupo. É demasiado fácil encontrar as mais maus.

    The Igloo was featured prominently in a Jean-Claude Van Damme movie. And having spent many years watching games there, it was a fun place to watch a game. And the roof is definitely unique. (If only they’d retract it… *sigh*) The concourses and ramp-system are waaay too narrow though. And yes, it’s past its prime.

    The BlueJackets play in a very nice stadium. Definitely one of the nicer ones I’ve been in (in my opinion).

    I second that about Columbus. I was there for the draft and thought it quite a nice venue. I also hear that the Wild arena in St. Paul is fantastic.

    I haven’t been there, but I’ve seen photos of the arena in Atlanta, and it seems to have the same “dollhouse” look with their suites. It didn’t look good at all.

    I agree with you pepper about the Xcel center. My only gripe is that it’s too small for the fan base here in Minnesota. There are only 18,500 seats and that’s not really enough because EVERY game here sells out. :(

    They can’t retract it because it creates a windstorm from the air pressure, right?

    The Igloo roof was permanently sealed when they replaced the scoreboard in 1995. And, yes, it’s not the fanciest place in the league (the narrow concourses gotta violate fire codes). A positive point is that you’re never too far from the ice, compared with some new mega-arenas.

    I go o nationwide all the time. i have seen pics of all the others arenas. Nationwide has to be the best arena. It has two 80 foot party towers inside and a 120 foot tower light outside. One of the coolest tings is the canon. So over all Nationwide Arena in Columbus Ohio is the nices arena!!!

    The Joe in Detroit has charactor. A lot of history there. Hard to believe it is one of the oldest in the league.

    I have been to countless games at the Xcel Energy Center, and it is still like seeing it for the first time all over again. I do agree with patty, the Xcel needs more seats in the state of hockey.
