It certainly can't be based on seating or who has the most modern rink or the
best-constructed.  Lynah is a nice rink, but it is not #1 in any of those
categories.  The only thing it can be argued that Lynah is #1 in is fan
participation and support, and perhaps overall crowd intimidation of opponents.
For Lynah to be #1, this had to be a significant factor in the rating.
