JMA Dome: The Next Phase

looks fantastic.

It looks to me like the arm rests are only in the 100 level, wish the pictures were larger

Yeah, if you pause the slideshow on the basketball court pic, that view is from the 300 level. You can see in the foreground the seats have mini-backrests with no armrests. Just enough of a backrest to reduce how much you get kicked in the butt.

I'll jump on the cup holder train as well. I wonder if the upper deck rows are too narrow to add them though.

I don't know that you can have the cupholders without the armrests, can you?

In some other stadiums I've seen them added on to the chair in front of you.

If the pics are accurate, the 300 level seats don't have full backrests. They looked like they were only a couple inches high. There's really nowhere to put them.

That's too bad, but I'll be happy to just have an actual seat.

Yeah, I don't know when I'll get back up for another game, but I won't miss those old hard benches or having to bring along my cushion. I went to a Pacers game while visiting a friend in Indiana almost 20 years ago and those molded plastic seats were so much better.

I think for the student sections in the 100s...they need cushioned blue bench seating and movable arm rests if it can be incorporated. Students like to pack in.

That doesn't work for the Motley Crue concert...

A few concerts...doesn't matter to me.

seats are really gonna mess with all the people who like to jump rows to cut across sections..

Gotta have arm rests

Less armrests, more cowbell!

Looks like backrests to me but I don't really care. I was fine with the benches.

Looking at that picture, you better have tiny legs. Good luck trying to get out in a hurry.

Yeah, it will be cramped it they are really that close. Luckily, I am in a low row that has only 5 seats and we own all of them.

I asked - not happening.

It does. I guess I saw it wrong.

Does anyone know if the armrests will fold up? I think that’s a huge consideration and would afford the best of both worlds. Being able to push the armrests out of the way helps open up a ton of space. Go to regal destiny and see for yourself.

Seems like it wouldn’t be a huge cost and is instead a design/install wrinkle.

I’m worried about how difficult it will be to navigate those rows with the backrests. They say it’s about comfort? We’ll see. I was at a game at the Verizon center in 2003 and swore I would never go to such a cramped place again. I can see STHs abandoning ship on the 300 level.

I saw a hockey game there around that time and had no problems.

This will force the student section to move some students upstairs.

Just spoke with our new ticket rep; our previous rep was promoted. No new additional information other than what’s been publicly announced. I asked how many seats in a row, if the arm rests have cup holders, if the arm rests move up and down etc to which I was told they don’t know yet and those things are still being finalized.

Sorry guys, I tried.

That's what they have at the Spectrum Center in Charlotte. I was just there on Saturday night at a Trans Siberian Orchestra concert. Thinner type arm rests with cup holders attached to the back of the seats, in the void area where the seats meet/butt up against each other.

The functionality was fine and I didn't notice it being a problem at all when having to get up to pee and grab another drink. If there was any issue, it had to do more with some folks who didn't want to move much to let you out.
