Might want to rethink that $40 million renovation and use that huge donation as the seed money toward the $300 million rebuild they decided against back in December.

Anybody see the video of this beam falling and what it did to the seats? If this happened during a game I think a few people may have been killed.

Yea, that looked pretty crazy. Who ever would have been sitting in that seat, would have been absolutely crushed

Holy crap that would have cost them millions in a lawsuit. So lucky it happened at an empty arena.

It would have killed people--no doubt.

They are very lucky that happened while the arena was empty.

Just like those in CT were lucky when the Hartford Civic Center's roof collapsed only a couple of hours after an event.

Another reason the dome is superior. No beams.
