LTL, I believe these seats are padded, No? I will check.
Here are the camera policies from the offal web site.
*Can I bring my camera and take pictures during the event?
Spectators are permitted to use cameras at the event for personal use only. The following are not permitted at 2012 Skate America:
■No flash photography
■No type of transmitter mechanism for the purpose of using a flash or strobes
■Camera cannot interfere with other fans’ enjoyment
■Any resale of photography or posting photos on websites is strictly prohibited.
■Absolutely no video recording is allowed. Only accredited coaches and team managers may be permitted to videotape their own skater/team from rinkside during that skater’s/team’s practice or performance.
Spectators not abiding by these restrictions risk having their camera confiscated by venue security staff.
I emailed the center about the seats but found this on the web...
The City Operations Committee voted 2-1 Tuesday to recommend the Council approve the extra funds for the arena. The Council will consider the proposal at its next regular meeting, July 15. The Operations Committee consists of Council members Debbie Raplee, Les Thomas and Tim Clark. Clark voted against the proposal because of its potential impact on the city’s general fund.
Most of the project funds to build the arena will come from the city issuing bonds that would be paid back over the next 30 years from fees collected from events and activities at the facility.
An estimated $400,000 in additional revenue will be brought in each year due to the new features. Those features include better lighting, a scoreboard, and padded seats in the general-admission area. Every $100,000 translates into $1 million in bonding capacity, which creates the additional $4 million in revenue that the city could use toward the project, said Ben Wolters, city economic development director.
The remaining $1.9 million of the extra costs will be funded through the capital improvements budget at a cost of about $180,000 per year.
“With the additional revenue, we’re confident the city can afford this,” Wolters said.
