Ralph Engelstad Arena Drone Tour 

This place is a NIGHTMARE to get out of

Very cool...and yes of course " let's go Sioux "

I would say this arena has the finest interior finishings and infusion of team spirit into its details and design of any arena I've seen. That said, if I had this budget and the task to build an arena, I would spend more of the budget on getting some land Downtown instead. I think this concept of sortof "putting an arena all by itself on a pedestal" does less for the overall game night experience, and much much less for the city than the new concept of "juxtposing an arena as closely as possible with daytime attractions so that restaurants and bars and hotels can thrive in between." Thus I think the Staples Center in L.A. is actually better, for fans, for City, and for team, and thus overall, a "better" arena, despite bare concrete floors, etc. Also MSG, Le Centre Bell, Nationwide arena, Sprint Center, Scotiabank Centre, MTS Centre, Rogers Arena in Vancouver, etc. for the same reasons. Super curious how Rogers Place in Edmonton and Little Caesars Arena in Detroit work out after their respective neighbourhoods react to the synergy. Edmonton already has a huge amount of neighbouring construction going on, and an even bigger amount that may follow. Detroit, I'm wondering if it's quite close enough to the daytime attractors in order to properly synergise. Meanwhile for arenas in similar settings to this one, Le Centre Videotron is an interesting comparison, but I'd still put Ralph Engelstad ahead on the pure devotion to beauty.
