Utah Delta Center Claiming "Unobstructed" Seats

[Islanders1932]

Am I crazy? Utah released the ticket prices for the upcoming season and they are claiming there are 10,000 unobstructed seats. Here are some pictures that they claim are unobstructed. Are these unobstructed? In my opinion you can't see the near boards and that makes them obstructed.

Move the team!

Maybe Barclays could be their official bank.

The last pic is not obstructed, but the first two definitely are.

Note that the last picture was taken while standing.

Looks normal

So 6,000 seats are obstructed?

I mean you never see behind the near boards anyway, so technically there's no "unobstructed" views in any arena if you want to get really technical. These might shave a hair more off from the view but doesn't seem like a big issue to me.

Definitely not an ideal hockey arena, but at least they're not in Mullet anymore.

Bettman got conned by Ryan Smith like he did John Spanos…. Talk a good game and offer money to bettman….

So it's normal to not see the glass at all in an arena? You can't even see the top of the glass in that first picture

Yeah you don't see behind the near boards, but you can't even see the glass from that first picture.

I like how they already have the Stanley Cup carpet on the ice in the 3rd photo.

Yeah at second glance that ones not great.

[Senor Catface]

Even in the last pic, part of the faceoff circle is cut off. I would consider that obstructed.

They will always get what they want , it doesn't matter if it's the right move or not . It's a business and it's their business to do as they want. Dont get me started on all the things i would change if i was in charge of the NHL . I'm sure would would have a long list too.

 

[Voight]

I get what you mean, but the first two aren't that bad. You can still see most of the playing surface.

 

[VaCaps Fan]

League putting tape on the problem of that franchise….

 

[Crede777]

I would need to see pics of the obstructed seats to see what they're comparing against.
