Gotta agree... unlike in Phoenix or Atlanta, these seats will actually have PEOPLE IN THEM during the games, so who even cares what colour they are? The cost of re-doing all the seats would certainly be a lot higher than putting in plexi glass that doesn't need guard rails, and that would certainly make a lot of people much happier than blue vs green seats. Absolutely right, my friend. I think TNSE has more pressing things to do and change than the color of the seats (which may or may not happen). Who knows, maybe its just a time for an overall upgrade for the next few years (given that MTSC will be 7 years old by this November).

Just tried to get into Tim Hortons from the Graham entrance and it was closed. As confirmed by z here, renos going on at the lower concourse (and the upper as well).

Was there for my seats last Wednesday and all sorts of work being done, 300 level has lots of concessions being added, they were working on the clock, the power ring, press box, lots of activity going on. As for the seats, I agree with others, tremendous waste of money to recover them blue, who cares, they will be filled.

^ this topic came up at jetsowner a few times...seat colours...who cares? the arena is sold out and no one will see the seat colours during the games at least on TV...this is hockey...why do the seat colours need to match the team uniform? AND besides...MANY NHL teams have seat colours that don't match the team colours!! the Canucks come to mind...their seats are red...

Would be a waste of money, in my opinion. Gotta agree... unlike in Phoenix or Atlanta, these seats will actually have PEOPLE IN THEM during the games, so who even cares what colour they are?

Nice cushioned seats get replaced about every 10 to 12 years.

Just remembered that Rock on the Range is happening this Saturday. Will the whole arena be open or will some parts be down for construction?

Haven't taken a look but will do so and if I can swing a pic I will post here.

I go by the MTS Centre every morning (Hargrave side)...didn't see any change in the flooring today. Still looked the same. Walls surrounding concession booths stripped. Moose banners still up. Last I heard they only were using the floor and lower bowl only,tix demand is not high enough for the uppers. I see. I heard that the flooring on the lower level concession area has been changed. Haven't taken a look but will do so and if I can swing a pic I will post here.
