Or all lower bowl will be at least followed by upper bowl the following summer. Either way they will be replaced, but I agree it should have all been done at once but they got concerts that make that hard to do I guess. Not like we haven't had long off seasons lately... Its more about getting the seats. My rep told me, it takes months to actually make the 20,000 or so seats. The company is from the states. The install itself seems pretty streamline 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m guessing the products are handmade too (stitching, stuffing foams, gluing, etc). 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like it is going to be an amazing add! I love the change from generic red to blue on the top part of boards. What would really look great and distinguishable from other NHL rinks is making the base of the boards either a light sky blue or a greenish aqua blue. The blue on both the top and bottom of the Pacific Coliseum boards in the Canucks' first season was beautiful: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finally some theme colour on our ice, better than red! I think the yellow on the bottom cannot be changed due to NHL’s regulations (all of the teams have yellow rings too.). Must be a good reason to keep track of the puck. I wonder if they are going to put the Canucks pattern on the centre ice’s Red Line?

I don't think anybody is being swayed into hiring KPMG for their business because of a massive sign at a hockey game. It seems like a poor use of resources on their behalf, but I'm not a partner at KPMG so its no skin off my ass. What I don't like is the giant glowing KPMG logo on the scoreboard, I just don't think it looks very nice. As for the BC Ferries advertisement that used to be in its place, that one is extra dumb and particularly annoying to anyone who has grown up on or lived on the Island for any period of time. The BC Ferries are a crown corporation. They operate as part of the infrastructure of British Columbia. They should not be paying for some of the most expensive advertising space in the arena, just like I don't want to see an advertisement for the Massey Tunnel or Metro Vancouver Water Services.

I don't care what you think. Defer to whoever you want, your opinion is worthless to me. I said I don't like the way something looks and your response was "yeah but it makes money". So? Complete non-sequitur and now you're being passive aggressive and smarmy over a concept that flew completely your head.

It is a publicly owned Canadian company operating independently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canuckfanforlife82 Posted September 16, 2023 Author Share Posted September 16, 2023 I know some people were complaining about the new seats not being put in this year but I would assume they either have to paint all the rails or replace them since they are also maroon which will also take time.
