Very easy to do concert seating because, well, stages are elevated. Even for the philharmonic it's elevated. For a hockey arena where are you going to build all the temporary seating in central park? You have to find a way to get 30,000 seats, at a minimum.
Shakespeare in the Park I think is the only area of CP with elevated seating. And it takes up quite a bit of space and it's only a couple thousand.
True, but I almost feel as if a stadium series/WC game can be done separately and independent from an annual RBA retro game and both would be raging successes. Frankly RBA can't compete with an SS/WC, it would basically be our annual retro game in a cooler setting with 5k more seats. Very, very doable & wouldn't really interfere with a WC/SS.

who's gonna foot the bill though? not the NHL, setting up an outdoor game costs some serious money

1. **** Southside Johnny and his ranger band
2. The Stadium Series was 95% money grab, 5% exposure, to make up for lost revenue from the past lockout.

It would have to be something intimate. They have already done 12,000 for beach volleyball there, cant see why they couldnt do the same for hockey. That setting would be amazing

Good Night
I'll say it one last time, the lower bowl at RBA is too low. No one will have a view of the game. Even if they could why wold they want to play a game where only 12-13k would be able to see?

That's understandable.
How come there aren't more concerts there? I thought the Dispatch show was great.

We reach out to several bands a year. The difficulty is finding a band/performer that will let Red Bull run the show alongside their roadies as well as be able to put on a show that won't damage the pitch. The RBA grounds crew doesn't even like when the team trains at RBA. They nearly got a deal done for a concert last October.

I feel like RBA is the perfect venue for Dave Matthews Band.
Anyway... As a Red Bulls fan and soccer fan I like that they take such good care of the pitch anyway.

Nah Southside Johnny can go perform wherever NYCFC gets a stadium... if they ever do... so they can wear their Rangers gear and sit on it.
Southside Johnny can take his ****** band, ****** Rangers gear, and 1 cup in the last 74 years and shove it straight up his ass.
Got back to San Diego last night. Definitely an experience to do the Dodger and Yankee Stadium games on back-to-back days. While outside of the Fox Sports One studio in Times Square, I talked to a couple that flew out from Scotland to do both Yankee Stadium games. Definitely a fun but unexpected conversation when the guy mentioned that he was already planning Montreal/Toronto next year for the World Juniors.

I know it would have raised some eyebrows given how image conscious the NHL is but they should have brought in New Jersey's own OVERKILL. Bobby Blitz is actually a huge devils fan to boot.
He actually wrote a track inspired by a NJD marketing slogan!:
Are you sure? I sat on the sides before in the first row and its elevated by what like 6-8 feet?
I'm not doubting your opinion & not trying to go against you here, but saying the entire lower bowl won't see is a bit of a stretch. Maybe 1-2000 fans in the first rows won't see much, that I can agree with, but not half the arena.
From my experience being there & this picture, I think 90-95% of the arena would have a view comparable to the Rock. Maybe even as low as 80%, but a good 20-22,000 fans should have a nice close view not much different from an NHL arena.

How high off the ground will the ice be after the staging, chillers, piping, etc. is all set? The boards (not glass, but boards) will likely hit somewhere between 8-10 feet. So... Yeah.
Just because you try to disagree with basically 99% of this board doesn't mean you'll end up being correct. Sometimes, others are just right.
THIS would have been sick - didn't know Blitz was a big Devils fan
Hello from the gutter, we've been expecting youuuuuu
SS Johnnie 100% did it to get people talking about them. They are so punk rawk. They didn't really need to wear Ranger gear when they were supposed to "be there" for the Devils to get people talking about them again though. Their horrendous performance did enough of that.
