I agree for that kind of money the renovation MUST include the completion of upper bowl seating on the west end of building. If it doesn't then it is a show stopper and a big no thanks.


Sadly they made the compromise with the original build not to go larger at around 14,000 seating with full bowl seating. They had the entire block as a footprint for the building to work with. Lessons learned as they would have sold out Knights games at 14,000 every Friday night. Hindsight is 20/20.


I suspect KW will no doubt build a new arena downtown that will be in the 12-18,000 seating range to replace the ageing Memorial Arena.
