An even better example is until the Brookstreet Hotel was built in 2003, visiting teams had to stay at either the Chateau or the Westin. The new arena will be much closer to those hotels than the Palladium is. Heck, they are about a third the distance from the new arena than the Brookstreet is from the Palladium.
