I think Kaminsky tried to build the stadium himself with all the bricks tonight.

Watch your mouth young man.

who cares about the new building? We'll be playing in the Panther Arena by 2019 since STH's are dropping and HE left.

There's a nice slide show along with this article.  I especially like the aerial pic of all 3 arenas together.

I am also curious to find out the plans for the entertainment district.

If it doesn't honor the city's ethnic heritage by having an outdoor beer garden, I am going to be upset.  The artist's renderings don't seem to include a place for it.

I remember reading something recently about "having larger glass roof for beer garden" .. so I think it's there.

The interior .. nice oval shape for a hockey rink.  I know they said they weren't, then were going to have one.   Looks like yes.

I don't recall them saying they weren't going to have a hockey rink.  They just said it was going to be primarily for basketball.

I expect it to be 100 times better sight line-wise than the BC is.

This looks really, really nice. Hope it's open more than it's not.
