yup. Thread isnt about how bad the coliseum is nor did i compare them. i didnt realize my teams inability to come to an agreement on a new arena means im arena-ly challenged and dont know the difference btwn good sightlines and poor ones.
For as bad as the Coliseum is in every other aspect, there are really no bad seats.
Why the **** do you want to see the stands so much when you're watching the game? The obsession some people around here with what's going on everywhere but the ice is amazing. The ice is well lit, the stands are not. That's by design. Better question is why do your ****** teams like to light up the stands so much?
Are they knocking things down for this renovation? Otherwise, you can't fix a lot of the problems.
They completely restructured the entire lower bowl this past year. Didn't really change much of the structure though.
Next phase is completely restructuring the upper bowl, which is actually going to be a lot of concrete shifting. Will change the whole look of the building.
Last shift is the stupid bridges and other touch-up stuff.
Not sure when the new scoreboard and lighting system goes in.
As an addition to this thread, it's important to note that some of the TV lights that shockingly ARE ONLY USED FOR HOCKEY are behind the ring of banners, so they may still not have their full effect.

We're getting a new scoreboard? But I like our scoreboard..
MSG isnt that great of an arena...yeah yeah "the worlds most famous", but thats bc its the worlds oldest and in the best city in the world. The lighting and sightlines are horrible in there. Nobody can argue with the playoff atmosphere, but thats not news bc every place goes nuts then. Ill wait til all the renovations are done and check it out again, but ive always felt the main part of a hockey game was being able to see it, and theres a LOT of seats at msg where you miss things.
MSG is only four years older than the Isles' arena. It's only been the oldest in the NHL since the Pens left the Igloo. There's nothing particularly old or historic about it, but the renovations sound like they should spruce things up.
geeze...its so dark fans that go regulalry cant even tell the difference between black chairs and navy blue? They really do need to pony up the cash and get that place up to par

A new lobby too.
The scoreboard, lighting, lobby, ceiling will be the last stage. Next year.
So all the focus is on the ice. I love it. Who the hell wants to see the fans? I want to see the ice.

To tell you the truth, I couldn't tell they were blue either until someone called it on the Ranger board.
let me guess, devil fans are making this there excuse, marty couldn't see the puck right lol
haters just reaching here for something, after every ranger win there are posts like this one, alot of haters out there that can't give the rangers the respect they deserve
I feel like we have a thread on this every week. Someone should sticky it.
I don't get the obsession with wanting to see the crowd on tv either. Though I guess when you can have a bunch of posts in the photoshop thread about some girls ****, you want to possibly be able to see the crowd
