Pierre the Great Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 The Forum Boston Garden Madison Square Garden Chicago Stadium Maple Leafs Garden Detroit Olympia St. Louis Arena (RIP The Old BARN!! All ways in our hearts!) My personal favourite is the old barn (saint louis arena) mainly because well its part of my childhood and that sucker was loud and freaking huge. I want to know what it was like to go to a game in the forum, garden, stadium and so on. Plus feel free to talk about any old small arena's that you love.

Pierre the Great Posted May 24, 2007 Author Share Posted May 24, 2007 Saint Louis Arena: The day the Blues fan died was when that Arena was unjustly demolished Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fanpuck33 Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 Pierre, you can't really judge them unless you've been there. One might even say one would need to see a game in an arena to be able to rate them. In which case I can only judge Nationwide Arena, since I only took a tour of the Forum and didn't see a game there. Nationwide is a great place, but their between play and intermission entertainment really went down the drain this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mont Royale Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 I'll always regret not making it to Montreal to take in a game at the Forum. I've been to the Olympia and Maple Leaf Gardens. It's been so long, I can't remember much about the Olympia, but I remember MLG. Unimpressive. I thought it was a dump, actually. This was during the Ballard years, so I'm sure he was putting a lot of money into it to make it look nice. (insert eye-rolling smilie here, once it's working!)

Pierre the Great Posted May 26, 2007 Author Share Posted May 26, 2007 really? Maple Leaf Gardens was a dump? Well we really need Shortcat for this thread. lol I don't like the Kiel, Savvis, Scottrade whatever its called today arena. Yeah its loud, but it just doesn't have the feel that the Old Arena had. *tear* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ch_nl Posted May 26, 2007 Share Posted May 26, 2007 In terms of classic, then the Forum stand in a class of it's own. The old Gardens of Boston and Toronto is also up there. Madison Sqaure Garden the octopus in Detroit Olympia and the pipes in Chicago... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMMR Posted May 27, 2007 Share Posted May 27, 2007 I have been to MLG and the Fourm both were awsome experiences. I was a young kid when I attended games there but I remember the atmosphere was fantastic. The fourm was awesome because so many people got dressed up as they were going to a Gala event.

However they were becoming tired in their latter years, especially the Gardens. Was there several times for events and it was a dive. The washrooms were disgusting to say the least! However the worst was the old Buffalo arena - yikes that was a dump. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pierre the Great Posted May 29, 2007 Author Share Posted May 29, 2007 why can't developers just build carbon copies of the classics just modernized? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beliveau1 Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 why can't developers just build carbon copies of the classics just modernized? They don't know how to build them like they used to - that's for sure! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
