Here are some interesting items about Clarkson's new rink. A friend just
got a personal tour.
They are moving "The Bell" to the new arena!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The seating capacity will be around 3000.
The ice surface is 85' by 200'. I don't think that this is olympic
size.
The home band will be located directly behind the opposing teams
goal for the first and third periods.
The team boxes will be on opposite sides of the rink. The tunnels
onto the ice will be on the side of the Clarkson bench, as
will be the penalty box. (Good designing)
Air temperature in the rink will be at a constant 56 F.
A lot of the people involved are real excited. I guess that it's going to
be a real classy place.
