Hi Folks.  Just a quick one to clear up a little misunderstanding that some
of you may be getting about Clarkson's new arena.  Some people seem to be
thinking that there is a "horizontal" aisle in the middle of the seats.  This
is not true.  As soon as you enter the arena, you can turn right and walk
around the arena, or you can turn left and walk around the arena.  All of the
seats are below the walkway.
  The have also built sky-box type seats, which are actually little conference
rooms with tinted glass looking out over the ice (and it does seem like you're
over the ice!).  The walkway is right below the windows, and cause no problem
in seeing the action.
  There is also the press box, which is opposite these "sky-box" seats, and is
well above all of the seating.  If any of you have been to an NHL game, you
might think of Clarkson Arena as a small (very small) version of an NHL arena.
 
  I hope this has given all of you a clear image of what the arena looks like.
