I think it stinks, and i've cleaned this version up from what i
originally said.  The netting makes things harder to watch.  We have
netting at the ends of the arena, as does the Broadmoor.  Since the
Broadmoor put in the netting at the end, people try not to sit there.
To convince yourself of how irritating it is, take some netting with
you to the next game and hold it in front of you and look through it.
