My seats are in row 6, section 315 and this doesn't appear to be a problem, but I went with my friends who are in row 1 Section 324 (I think) and they have an obstructed view because of the rail/mesh as well. Our ticket rep said he couldn't say for sure because he doesn't know, but he believes that they likely will be replacing the mesh with plexiglass as you have suggested. Like I said, he couldn't say for sure and had no idea when, but he mentioned what you said about it being replaced in the lower level way back in 2004. I would think that is for sure going to happen, but as wpgjetbrian said, you still have the rails as a problem. I'm wondering if it's not possible to have rail-less glass? I would have to think it can be done... anything can be done if you're willing to pay! section 315 row 9 is where I am jetsorbust!!!! seat 3 is mine seat 4 is my buddies see ya there Nice! I'm in seat 5, seats 6-8 are my girlfriend brother and a buddy. No throwing your beers down... unless TNSE starts using lids (like they should) in which case toss me as many as you like!

I would have to think it can be done... anything can be done if you're willing to pay! Rogers Arena in Vancouver sky suites (500 level) have completely seamless glass with no hand rails. The view is amazing - so it can be done. Ideally, this would be the best solution for the upperdeck. Yes, I thought I'd seen this somewhere before and Rogers Arena is where. This likely costs a bit more to install, but I would think it is worth it.

Nice! I'm in seat 5, seats 6-8 are my girlfriend brother and a buddy. No throwing your beers down... unless TNSE starts using lids (like they should) in which case toss me as many as you like! hahaha we will see.....on a side note great seats 10 steps to bathroom and concessions with beer ;D ;D Haha yup... that's exactly what our rep said too! Looking forward to that. Good god, when will this summer end so we can drop the puck?! But to stay on topic --> Plexiglass would certainly help, but unless it costs astronomically more I would think the seamless glass without any bars is worth the investment. You could probably take up collections from the lower half of the upper deck to pay for it!

Yes, seamless glass is often used in office towers overlooking atriums. I myself have seamless glass rails at home ... this WOULD BE THE IDEAL SOLUTION! I keep saying it over, and over again. If plexiglass can be used to protect front row seats from 250lbs men bodycheck each other, and 100mph pucks flying at your head, then surely it can be used to prevent falls from the upperbowl.

I don't think there's any issue with Plexiglas not being sturdy enough for the task. My only concern is the height in front of the wheelchair sections. In other words, it needs to be about a foot higher for safety sake.

The rail is only higher at the entryways ... if anything, I would prefer the rails be lower

In any case, I'm not going to be standing up anytime soon, so it doesn't matter to me!

Just wondering how it works.

This is definitely something that needs to be changed.

when and why were they raised in the first place? I don't think they were ever raised. What he's saying is that the railing is higher at the entryways. Presumably, this is because that is the most likely place for somebody to topple over the railing. As I say, an able-bodied person sitting beside a person in a wheelchair in the wheelchair section could easily go over the railing as it's not very high (perhaps three feet). I don't know if this is the same as it is in the front row of the other 300 numbered sections.

I assume it is because only a small handful of games the moose hosted used level 300 seating.

This is sitting in section 328 row 5, I think I clear it just perfectly At GM place I sat in some seats that were severely obstructed by the plexiglass as well. I know it sounds like I'm really complaining lol..but in my goalie sight line I caught the edge where the plexiglass was cut for the section over...hopefully they are really strategic about it...
