A trick is only unmissable if you can afford it. Let's be grateful they got this.

Looks great, inside and out.
Anyone know where there's a list of arena sizes for the EIHL teams?

Interesting, looks like the Tent is currently the smallest rink in use from that (2000 seats).

The design has been locked in place for a couple of years, so it's pre current regime. It also wasn't possible for a larger capacity without losing the 2nd ice pad. |

3k is decent for a rink & I'm sure it will be full most weeks.

I believe Simmsey was quoted as saying an extra 1000 seats would have cost an extra £1 million.

Pretty sure it was planned to be 3,500 though - and at quite a late stage.

I think it has 3000 seats with plans for a designated standing area

I think it remains safe to say that even with 3000 seats, it'll be a big boost to the Devils financially and stability wise. It's also a big boost to their other teams, the u20's, lower leagues and rec, two pads to play on meaning a lot more ice time will be available.

It looks brilliant ,the only problem will be in a couple of years when the puck has scratched the glass and you can't see a damn thing through it . Cant wait to go at the end of the season.

Doesn't that apply to all rinks? You never know though, they might not 'do a Steelers' and leave the plexi untouched for years and years, they might take it down every now and then to clean/polish it. It's only a case of taking the glass down every season or so and having it polished (any glass polishing company can do it). My local rink back in Michigan does it before every new season and that is a city owned rink with about 800 bleacher seats. |

Yes I suppose it does, I sit quite high up so don't have that problem, I was thinking of the Hull & Sheffield rinks where the plexi was awful. Anyway it's surely got to be better than the BBT.

You can't compare the Plexi going into our new gaff to Hulls, they are poles apart, also there are no pillars in the Plexi along both wings, it really is a lovely looking building, it's 3,100 seats, with great sight lines. Don't forget the Devils pay no ice time which is worth about another 6-700. |

Paying no ice time leads to unfair competition.
I think the Devils should be made to contribute more to league funds than other teams to redress the imbalance ! Lol

Why don't you take him off our hands then lol I was thinking the same, Tell you what no one would touch him with a 10ft barge pole. Don't know about envy of the keague, I would have said your owners are the envy at least there not swindling the fans week in week out. |
