Comments on: Pittsburgh Penguins New Consol Energy Center Fails Where it Counts Most http://www.penguinpoop.com/2010/pittsburgh-penguins-new-consol-energy-center-fails-where-it-counts-most/ Pittsburgh Penguins News - Blog Fri, 24 May 2013 23:13:24 +0000 hourly 1 By: 55 on point http://www.penguinpoop.com/2010/pittsburgh-penguins-new-consol-energy-center-fails-where-it-counts-most/#comment-3876 55 on point Thu, 21 Oct 2010 15:19:47 +0000 http://www.penguinpoop.com/?p=5367#comment-3876 I couldn’t agree more. The upper bowl? It’s like, “How many Penguins fans can you fit into a phone booth sticking out from the north face of K2 at a 60 degree angle?” If your seats are mid-row, be prepared to have to emulate one of the Flying Wallendas to tightrope walk to your seat — there’s about 8-12 inches of concrete between the feet you are trying to avoid stepping on, or tripping over, and a sideways swan dive onto the heads of the row beneath. Big-breasted women should stay home unless you don’t mind the occasional cheap feel! On the upside, the knees of the person behind you provide a wonderful headrest should you care to take a nap. I would have felt better about it if the Isle of Capri had built the damn thing on their dime so I wouldn’t have to have that “you get what you pay for” feeling. Net result, they sold us a veritable “bill of goods,” and I will have lots of tickets for sale. And, oh by the way, be prepared for the seat license, too. It’s coming.

The revenue they generated saved the rest of us from having to fork out dough for that device of extortion called “seat license fee”. Ask any Stiller fan how fair of a practice that concept is. Believe it or not it is practiced more times than not

The SOG are bairly visible from the good seats! The font that is used screams fashion magaZine and not sports statistics

My wife and I saw a concert at Wachovia Center (middle of the off-season, so NO chance of Flyers around, I swear!) and sat in the top row. It is exactly as you describe. We were, ahem, partaking, and nearly fell a couple of times. I had been hoping that the Consol would be better – guess not… :-(
