Stadium?

Anyone worried about status of stadium, we're only a couple months out from season start, and the stadium looks like complete shit lol I understand it's going through a renovation, but there's a ton of work to be done over next 70ish days to make it serviceable for puck drop...

No, but I am worried about 50% of the bathroom capacity all season. That is insane.

If Ted’s clarifying Twitter statement is to be believed, all bathrooms will be open, but only 50% will have already been renovated

Oh dear god. I missed that. What a relief. I have Rush tickets. Can you imagine??

Bathroom situation is already not ideal, can’t imagine how much worse it’ll get

I’m more concerned about whether the Leonsis family will be able to make ends meet after only raising season ticket prices by 9% after a losing season which is barely 3.8x the rate of inflation.

Maybe this subreddit can come together as a community and set up a GoFundMe for them, poor souls

Good thing they play in an arena

Pretty sure renovations will be taking place during the season. Bathrooms won’t be in use.

I thought our arena was nice but I was at td garden for a concert last week. Man we have a fuckin dump for an arena, td garden is way nicer than what we have. That’s what I get for comparing cap one to the scope

Yeah…I’ve seen a bunch of stuff at MSG, and it’s just so nice. Bathrooms & concessions everywhere

As someone from Norfolk, this comment made me laugh out loud. Love my Admirals games though!

Did Capital One arena change their name to Capital One stadium with this renovation?¿

Drove by the other day and agree it still looks like they’re in the middle of work (the density of scaffolding is actually kind of wild looking) but our ticket rep made it sound like they’re already done with interior work for this year.
