adding 2500 lower level seats... is that added to current 19,000? or are they removing some upper level seats to make room for cool stuff? not sure we need a 22k arena.

To be fair, they (the city) own the building so it's not like a normal thing where the city is paying to improve an asset owned by someone else.

They're adding to the lower bowl. From the picture it looks like they're extending some of the lower bowl sections all the way up to where the first level of suites begin. Currently those sections have a walkway between section end and the first level of suites.

right, but are they removing 2500 from upper to balance? perhaps removing upper seats for more of an open area/other cool stuff/bars/food, but adding 2500 to keep 19k? or are we increasing overall capacity to 22k?

Adding pricier seating highlights these guys are hedge fund businessmen first, their instinct is to monetize. Newsflash: at some point you’ve got to put a better product on the floor.

Oh got your point, yeah, no idea if they're subtracting upstairs to add amenities. If I had to guess though, I think it'll probably be close to that 22K number.

Adding seats to the arena? Are they going to add some space at the top for more banners and retired jerseys too?

It was a great movie, and I concur
I'm convinced Schnall is the real owner and Plotkin is just there for additional funding and to say he's part of the whole thing.

We've only won 3 games since we beat the Wizards. And two of those wins were by 3pts or less.
So yeah, it's been a struggle.
I don't understand why the owners keep doing nothing though. Are we just waiting for the offseason to do something?

That's because the entire management structure of the organization is walking the green mile.
