Dom Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 (edited) This probably deserves a thread. If not, mods can feel free to delete. Vancouver, BC - Canucks Sports & Entertainment (CSE) announced today its third phase of the Rogers Arena building improvement plan, which emphasizes improving the fan experience throughout the arena. This latest phase of the $150 million investment into arena upgrades over the next two summers includes replacing all lower and upper bowl seating with new custom-designed black seats that include cupholders. “Last August, ownership committed to replacing all seats in the building, and we confirm that we are proceeding with that investment,” said Michael Doyle, President, Canucks Sports & Entertainment, Business Operations. “The project, which will begin when the hockey season is over, is something our members and fans have been requesting for some time, and we understand its importance. With our new seating and our new state-of-the-art videoboard installed, when you step into the Rogers Arena bowl, it will feel like you are in a new building." Phase III of the plan will focus on fan-facing improvements. CSE also announced the expediting of enhancements to the Toyota Plaza to improve the exterior pre-game experience by the end of the 2023.24 season. Look for a brighter, more fan-centric branded experience when you come to a game. At the concourse level, a new and improved digital screen experience will be launched, connecting fans to the digital infrastructure within the bowl while aiding in navigating the arena and taking advantage of unique food and beverage options available. CSE also plans to invest in a new Level 400 sports and entertainment experience for fans that want a mix of social experiences and event viewing. “We have such a diverse population of fans and they have told us that they are looking for new and unique experiences. We are striving to produce those opportunities for our fanbase,” added Doyle. Opened in September of 1995, Rogers Arena is iconically situated in the heart of Vancouver on False Creek, connected by public transit and easily accessible to residents from across the region. Phase II of the plan at Rogers Arena began this past summer and is now complete with the installation of a new state-of-the-art videoboard, in-bowl digital screens & control room, enhanced hockey operations training and player experience spaces, ice-level improvements with new boards and glass, and the creation and launch of the Well Health Presidents Club. With over 2 million visitors annually, Rogers Arena is the province’s leading entertainment venue and Canucks Sports & Entertainment is committed to enhancing the arena to provide a world-class experience. https://www.nhl.com/canucks/news/canucks-announce-latest-round-of-improvements-for-the-150-million-revitalization-of-rogers-arena#:~:text=Phase II of the plan,glass%2C and the creation and Edited March 5 by Dom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man even the way the jerseys have been made are amazing. All the little details. Quality jerseys. I really hope they do. Not sure if they will but I don’t know why you would when everyone says they love them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black seats have nothing to do with the jerseys. It’s a very popular for all venues to have black seats to hide tough stains. I hope they need to install railings in lower bowls going up and down the stairs, for people who have knees or hip issues.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaribouCanuck Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 I know it could very easily just be a coincidence but it's just so easy to imagine the black seats possibly being connected to possibly making the skate jersey the primary jersey. Even if that's not what's happening I think the black seats will look much more appealing than the red ones imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That "Test" Blotch of Black seat behind the bench looks drab. I'm not sure what it will look like when the whole rink is black but so far it looks like the depressing back seats of 1970 Chevy Nova! They also better widen those seats when they do change them, so we stop feeling like we're cramped in an Air Transit "Cargo Seat to Hell" because I'm tired of being squeezed in elbow to elbow with larger adults. People are fatter now than back in the late 80's/90's when the rink was designed/built because people can't afford real food anymore and end up eating processed high fat/carb crap that makes them huge like americans. Last but not least, build more washrooms up on level 300. The line-ups are worse than the old coliseum days.

I hope they need to install railings in lower bowls going up and down the stairs, for people who have knees or hip issues.. NO MORE RAILS - especially in the lower bowls. That's why they have handicapped areas in 5 spots around the rink allready - for those folks who need assistance/more room. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
