Man, tat makes a whole lot on sense! NOT
This might be Fili's best idea yet in a long list full of good ones.
I personally can't answer this one, as I don't even know what a hockey ring is.
It's an impressive-looking render, but as I said on the Northwestern board, that sure looks like greater than 35,000 capacity in that render.
If @UTEPAthletics ever decides to build an indoor practice facility, don't be like UNM:
According to a recent survey commissioned by Oracle and conducted by independent consultancy Untold Insights, fans are increasingly ready to let go of nostalgia and embrace a digital future — one in which the stadium is not just the destination but an immersive, self-guided tour
What’s behind this enthusiasm to adopt more self-serve tech at sports facilities? According to the survey, staff shortages and slow service are the driving factors. Respondents said the most frustrating aspects of stadium food and beverage service were long lines (42 percent), slow service (29) and errors in food and drink orders (22).
Fans expect an experience that embraces self-service and reduces the reliance on human interaction. In fact, over half of fans prefer using technology over interacting with staff during live stadium events. Seventy percent of respondents said that stadium service jobs can be replaced by technology, and 53 percent preferred ordering via their smartphones or on-site digital touchscreens over in-person ordering.
But fans aren’t just looking for technology that will make their game-day experience more seamless. They’re also excited about the possibility of new tech-enabled experiences that will deepen their engagement with their favorite teams and players. Over half of respondents (53 percent) said they would like to engage with their favorite teams in the metaverse (through virtual stadium tours and meet-ups, as well as while shopping for merchandise). Thirty-eight percent said they’d like to view sports stats through their mobile device while at the stadium, and 53 percent said they are interested in receiving special offers for pregame activities.
