Madison Square Garden in New York had its entire interior renovated over three or four summers without major interruption to the playing schedules of the Knicks and Rangers. This wouldn't be feasible for the Metro Centre because any proper renovation would have to include rotating the rink 90 degrees so a proper seating bowl could be built, with luxury boxes that don't hang down and obscure 10 rows of seats with already bad views.
Rotation of the surface would never happen. The arena is not structured properly for this to happen, it would basically be a new build if this was to happen. Easier and cheaper to build a new one.
How do you post pictures? I used to know but have forgotten how!

The pointed southern corner of the Nova Centre does seem to be a different tone. I don't see any need for the two tones, especially for such a small area that is part of the same office tower (it almost looks like they got a good deal on some of the 1801 Hollis Street glass).
I know I might be crucified for saying it... but the Nova Centre is shaping up to be pretty darn ugly. It looks oooook when viewed from the north or south, but when viewed from the water or citadel hill it is just a big slab of a wall with a mish-mash of glass colours and tones.
The greenish checkered glass looks pretty bad. I was hoping the webcam wasn't showing it's true colors. I have concerns, hopefully it will all come together.
It does look checkered in the renderings, although with not nearly as much contrast between tones as it looks from certain angles.
I will reserve judgement until it is done however, as I still recall how much discussion went on about the glass at the library during installation and it turned out fine.
