impur Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 I hit up the opening night for the new arena and am still floored. Its just absolutely amazing, everything about it. I snapped these pics of the action for opening night. Hopefully Nyles will post up his behind the scenes shots from earlier this week too. The night turned out all the better since the Ducks beat the Trojans!!! Disclaimer: I don't really care if you don't like the court or the Ducks, so please keep those comments to yourself.

impur Posted January 14, 2011 Author Share Posted January 14, 2011 Uncle Phil gave a speech to start the night. His whole family was there, as were his sons widow and their kids, along with all of Matt's friends he grew up with and a lot of Phil's family too. They were all pretty emotional, i think this building and the dedication to his son really means a lot to him. Then the fireworks began! The Duck dropped from the rafters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.R Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 Pretty cool place! Not really a big fan of the floor design but I suppose it will grow on me. The jumbo screen is freakin awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pnkrcklives Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 That place looks pretty cool... The floor looks like it would be hard to play on with all the shadows on it from the art work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nate Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 That place looks pretty cool... The floor looks like it would be hard to play on with all the shadows on it from the art work. It looks like a distraction to the visiting team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
