Kerry Summers-Valdez I live in Portland 3 hours south and most peeps know the city and yeah ik The Seattle Center is the best way I can describe it a giant park some museums tourist traps and green space
Cheap ass renovation. Good enough for hockey but I hope the NBA doesn't accept this an acceptable stadium. Russell Wilson's group had a better architectural design for an NBA stadium. This renovation keeps the same amount of seats....you need more seats. That was the problem with the old building
It’s name is now called climate pledge arena
that why the international 8 did not pick there place any more
Wonder if it would of been more cost effective to implode the whole thing and rebuild the same roof but modernized.
Exactly. The costs are already projected to be $900-$930MM ($200MM over the original budget)
@@jasondousett3620 Who's paying for it? Oh, that's right-it's 100% privately funded. Budget overruns are the taxpayers problem here.
@@jasondousett3620 that's partly due to the cost to the "green" construction. They mentioned it in a video on the Seattle Kraken RUclips channel
welcome to the first semi underground stadium in the nhl
They keep saying it's not a renovation but even they keep slipping up and say it's a renovation
Can’t wait
The roof and exterior are not registered as historic... or whatever - they have to preserve that portion. Just stupid.
What city is THIS??

The capacity for this arena is about average with the rest of the league. Stop complaining over nothing
They are adding more seats. From 15k up to 18k.
this is just for hockey there wont be another nba bc they would not cope with the blazers and the nba does not want another team i dont think
@@Cheezcurdz-xx4rf are you younger than 30? SEA needs the supersonics back.
1. This is not a renovation, this is a completely rebuilt arena underneath a roof.
2. This "renovation" was not cheap. It costed $900 million.
