I remember when the current one was new and neat around 2006.

I am getting old.

I do too. I think they had to add some roof supports.

I see you’re old and like to raise a decade...

Remember the previous one was absolutely turrible. Didn’t even show the score.

There is really only one thing Hilton needs to add. That one thing is definitely chicken strips on the menu.

If my Clones are laying an egg, at least let a guy enjoy some chicken strips during the game.

Surprised there is nothing explicit about premium seating (such as using some of the inner concourse). Perhaps that is in the fine print somewhere. Maybe it is the "private money" that will help to fund the entire project.

Ive thought for a while the concessions area could make great boxes if bumped into the inner concourse. The people who like to head down at the under 4 timeout and stand there would have to actually stay in their seats.

Seems like a fairly minor construction effort too, at least in comparison with some of the other parts of the project.

Put doors on the outer concourse side. Open the walls on the inner concourse side. And extend the side walls through the inner concourse. No loss of egress. Only limiting traffic around the inner concourse (which is a convenience, but not essential). They've already done this with the outer concourse for Johnny's (and that is probably a more significant egress issue).

This would work best on the side without the TV and production box, but even on that side, it could be down toward the corners.

I have to think they are going to do something like this. What else could they do for premium seating?

New lighting?
