i remember there being some talk earlier in the summer that said RKI wanted to do some renovations to the coliseum for the upcoming season to make more space. specifically i remember hearing moving back the wall on the benches side for more room on the concourse.
has anyone been down there lately? has anything been done at all? it's getting late for major renovations.
on a side note i see harbour station has put in some private boxes. very nice. i'd love to see the coliseum do this. either on the benches side or behind the net above the lobby entrance leading to the agrena.
then again i think moncton's needed a new rink for years now, but that's a whole other pile of dead horses.

As far as I know (and I work for the City during the summer) the only renovations being done are dressing rooms and the press boxes. RKI was simply dreaming when he made those comments in the paper.

You can't just start renovating old buildings like the Coliseum without having to bring its safety inadequacies up to code. I can assume that there are many fire regulations today that were not in forced when this joint was built in the early 70's. You can tweak what's there to an extent, but major renovations would be an easier (and possibly less costly) by building a new facility. I for one think that a new facility is a long ways away because people can't afford higher taxes. Cripes, if gas stays at this price, we'll be sleeping in our cars overnight between back to back home games. i remember there being some talk earlier in the summer that said RKI wanted to do some renovations to the coliseum for the upcoming season to make more space. specifically i remember hearing moving back the wall on the benches side for more room on the concourse. has anyone been down there lately? has anything been done at all? it's getting late for major renovations. on a side note i see harbour station has put in some private boxes. very nice. i'd love to see the coliseum do this. either on the benches side or behind the net above the lobby entrance leading to the agrena. then again i think moncton's needed a new rink for years now, but that's a whole other pile of dead horses.
