“CSEC wanted an intimate space, so the seating concept is a bit steeper and stacked on top of each other than, say, Rogers Place, which HOK also designed.”
I hope this is much better execution than HOK with Rogers. As someone who has been to a handful of games there, they are pretty much unwatchable unless you have lower bowl seats. If you’re unfortunate enough to have the person in front of you lean even an inch forward there, you’re staring at the back of their head more than you are watching the game. Seriously, those fans of the Oilers who brag about that building must never have left the concourse/lower bowl.
Though I guess “steeper and more stacked” should improve that viewing angle more.
