I refuse to go if there are no skels selling half frozen and half burnt pretzels on a rusty old shopping cart

I present to you a photographically-challenged look at UBS:



View from the Dime Club lounge area (pretty much where all the pictures are from, tour was relatively short):












Dime Club lounge area:







Openness of the Dime Club to the ice surface and rest of arena (yes, horrid picture)



That's more or less it. It's going to be a hell of a building. Big, massive concourses with high ceilings and tons of bathrooms. Almost everything on the main level is very open-concept so you can see the game from pretty much any bar (pretty sure they said there was 8, in total).

Going to be an awesome barn, even though I did not see anyone selling hot pretzels out of a flaming shopping cart

It was a lot further along than it looks on the live cam. Whole place is already sheetrocked and I'm sure they're going full-bore on the finish work. They've started paving around the outside too. Still seems impossible to finish it all by November 20th, but apparently there's people working 24hrs a day so I'm sure they're not going to (frank) up and not finish the arena in time for opening night.

My buddy has been there a couple of times about a month apart. Didn’t look like they did anything between visits

These pics look like they’re not far off. Looks awesome.

It will be suspended from the rafters, I'm told

Maybe it will sit on top of the score board.

Thanks for the pictures Chiefs. They got a lot done in a short period of time. Did you notice how low the ceiling was in comparison to the size of the rest of the building?
