I just find it looks small for a 4,000-seat arena. The stands look shorter than the old Guertin.
But there are two levels. The Guertin only has one doesn't it?

I don't know if this rink comes with a way to add temporary seating (doesn't look like it) or if they will forego any Mem Cup bids.

I think the size is good in general as others have mentioned. Cannot wait to see it in motion (drive by on the bus every morning and afternoon)!
They could always use the new arena at LeBreton if they wanted to host the Memorial Cup. So what if it is across the river and in a different province.
