They're still probably replacing the seats but it sounds like they're cordoning off another chunk of the arena for suit season ticket holders. Interesting! I wish they'd redo the whole arena as the seats get very uncomfortable after awhile, especially during a concert when you can't get up and walk around during intermission.

I've heard there have been plans to upgrade the seats for awhile. I think they were planning on doing it earlier but the pandemic put a hold on things and they're just now getting back around to it. People have been debating the colour for awhile, I think navy blue would be the best. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be nice for all the fans to have some comfortable seating. People have been complaining about the chairs for years, so let's hope something changes.

Would be nice for all the fans to have some comfortable seating. People have been complaining about the chairs for years, so let's hope something changes. The problem is that there isn't a whole lot of room to make renovations. You can add comfier chairs, but there isn't much to be done about things like legroom. Because they had stick the arena between two viaducts when they built it, space is at an absolute premium. The thing that bugs me as someone who usually buys upper bowl tickets when I go, is that if the person ahead of you leans forward even slightly, it really screws up your view. The problem is I don't think there's much that can be done to fix that. I really hope the new seats all have cup holders though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is I have bars blocking my view (if that makes sense). Frustrating! Yes, really hoping for cupholders as well. People just shove past you and kick your drinks over all the time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The glass ended right at eye level, so the distortion between glass/no glass made it essentially impossible to see what was going on at the other end without ducking your neck into some awful position. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah that’s honestly why I prefer the Upper Bowl. Unless some dickhead ahead of you won’t stop leaning forward, you have a pretty good view of the entire ice. Plus it’s more affordable, which you need if you plan on buying drastically overpriced beer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are. They are even emblazoned with the words “PLEASE DO NOT LEAN FORWARD”. Unfortunately I don’t know the percentage of our fanbase that can read. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of people fist fighting and throwing things, sadly. Some drunk guy also threw up in my buddy's section and the whole section reeked!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be great if they could make all the seats 4-5 inches higher, but still take the same footprint. Then you would have more leg space. I am 6'7" the seats are horrible for tall people. Seattle is like sitting in a business class airplane. So much nicer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
