Watson will do no such thing. They just built a new ramp for OC transpo to help aid in traffic congestion on the 417. Not sure how much it's helped, haven't been to a game this season

They should be kissing Watson's Donkey to extend the LTR to the arena as soon as possible.  That would get some people in who don't want to inhale exhause fumes on the Queensway before and after the game.

And yeah the arena is too big.
Jim Watson is proposing the World's Longest Footbridge to connect CTC with some place.

I'm excited for the changes melnyk wants to make i.e. remove alot of the boxes and replace them with party zones like in tampa bay.

You keep demand high even if it means people not being able to attend some games. It's stupid economics and that's probably a reason Melnyk is broke.

Melnyk didn't build the arena.

Like Michallica said, they will be getting rid of the boxes so that's good

It's the same, lol.

Parking is also now $16.00... almost the price of the cheapest ticket. They are just killing themselves to be honest.

Melnyk 100% added seats. It's wasn't built at 20,500.

Right now it is 19,153.

Pretty normal seating, and the ACC actually has that many for Raptors.

You take out the boxes and we'll be back at 18,800 or something.

The arena should be 17,500-18,000, that's it. Either way it's not going to change.

It was better before at 18.500. Then they added more seats to make it 19,153 (after melnyk). And then they added standing room. Probably will come back down.

As for parking, wow $16 is a friggin' joke. good thing I just park in the palladium auto parc. 5-10 mins walking is worth paying $0.

What's really helped is only getting 15,000 out to a game.

The arena was build with capacity of 18,500. It was Melnyk who applied to raise the capacity.

Trying to incent people to carpool, walk or use public transit.

Park at the park and ride and take a bus -- saves $10 over the price of parking, plus no gas wasted.
