Delta Center Everything Thread

[MIGs Dog]

It sounds like the Delta Center is similar to the Footprint Center in Phoenix, with thousands of obstructed-view seats. But there's a plan to increase the unobstructed seating from 12k to 17k over the next two years.

In other news, Utah fans are excited, with 11,000 season ticket deposits received as of 18 April.

Gary Bettman says there are plans to increase capacity at Delta Center in Utah to 17,000

NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman told NHL Network's Adnan Virk on Thursday that the team is working on increasing the number of unobstructed seats at Delta Center to 17,000 from 12,000 within two seasons.

The biggest issue right now is sightlines. There are a ton of sections that have limited visibility to the point you have to watch the monitors to see the action. So I'm hoping that is addressed in the current building. Pretty much any of the corners and behind the nets (upper bowl).

History repeats itself sometimes. Except the Coyotes will have real ownership this time, and a new facility on the horizon. Funny how that works.

What I read is that they have a plan to correct the issue but that it will take two off seasons? Is this summer off season one? Don't know.

Arena news? Not really, but takes place at the arena.

Player intros? Does that mean some players will go out there?

I would assume so.

I've heard some media talk about the Coyotes players having their "end of the year" party in Vegas this weekend and some of them will be in Utah next week.

The Utah team will have one owner in same building and all the revenue that goes with that, something the Coyotes did not have.

Also, I feel like Burke was real ownership.

How exactly can you physically create 5000 seats ?? complete renovation of the building? That would cost a BILLION+ like in Seattle

Delta Center doesn't have a historically important roof to preserve though. I don't imagine it would be nearly that expensive. The most recent renovation cost $125 million though.

How do you physically create that though?? I've been to the Delta Center, I think folks are underestimating that challenge outside of a new building.

Good question. I'm not sure on specifics, and I've never been to the Delta Center myself.

Apologies if this was already posted but...

“There’s a lot of work that still has to be done and a lot of creation, and innovation, and strategy, and planning,” Olson said. “We do know we’re going to master that fan experience and those sight lines. We’re gonna create something that hasn’t been done before.”

I dunno..... the more things appear to change the more they end up being the same. Funny how THAT works.

SEG Announces Location Of Utah's NHL Practice Facility

Here’s just a bit more info. It’s a decent spot, easily accessible via freeway and transit for community/youth hockey events. Curious about which plot of land in particular they’ve got in mind.

Regardless of what the team ends up being named, can we nickname "The Beehive" to the Delta Center?

If it's Yeti, do they live in dens? Wikipedia is no help.
