What makes the latest renovation stand out more than past upgrades is the degree to which major elements of the building were changed. Things you don't always see, but are a huge part of the operation. New chillers and piping in a new floor. New escalators, electrical, plumbing, and mechanical. Restrooms and concessions we see. The concrete and steel for the whole upper half was ripped out and replaced at a slightly steeper angle which improves sightlines. So its not just new seats, its the very concrete they bolt to that is improved. It is a nice place, but think of what Barclays would have been if they kept the Frank Gehry design instead of shaving millions off the cost. You never get to put the sizzle back onto the steak once it is served. |
