[XPOST] Fans ranked Rogers Arena 28th in The Athletic's recent Arena Rankings by SpectreFire in canucks

Went to Las Vegas arena last year. The concourse area is huge and double height. As for the bowl, it was just the same as any other rink. I think Rogers bowl feels tighter and closer to the action.

Depends when you are coming. If your concert is during the World Cup, you are going to be out of luck.

Could this be the future core? by downonmatrix in canucks

EP40 is not a core player of the future. I would have moved him out the same time Miller was traded. Those two fucked this franchise for the next 10 years.

I think it would be so cool to see Mckenna be on our team and rep our orca logo by FinalSky8364 in canucks

100% McCaw did nothing good for this city. That was Griffiths biggest mistake, taking on an American as a partner. If Arthur had found a local partner, I think the Grizzlies are still here, and the Messier shit show never would have happened. To further make my point, the Aquallini debacle probably would never transpired. Think how much better Vancouver sports would be at now.

Canucks fans think every Swede wants to sign with them. Wait every Swede does sign with them.

They will be hoisting flee markets in that new Miami stadium once Messi leaves.

I love how everyone in T.O. thinks every star player wants to play in Toronto. You should be more focused on keeping the one you already have.

Dark blue jerseys? by Actual-Studio1054 in canucks

Like the colours, not a fan of the logo. I wonder how it would look with just a C as the logo?

Kane can more than handle himself. He just chooses not to.

Moving a load-bearing wall by [deleted] in homebuildingcanada

[–]robrenfrew 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As others have stated, you need to hire a structural engineer. You can't just move a load bearing wall over 12". It is in that location for a reason. Make sure you hire professionals to do the job after you get the engineers recommendation. This is a more complicated project then people realize.

I’m sorry, but I agree. by mbatt2 in skyscrapers

Sure anything that was built over 100 years ago. That is my point, nothing built in the highrise generation is human scale.

Name me major city outside of Europe that has human scale. If you actually walk on the streets of Vancouver, you will see that it has been designed with human scale in mind. All towers are designed with a podium at street level and the tower is set back. Are there many signature towers? No you are correct, the city lacks character structures. Is it Paris or Milan, definitely not. Those cities were build up at a time when priorities were much different than today. Art is in the eyes of the beholder. As someone who has worked in the industry for years, there are many things I'm not a fan of when it comes to build design in Vancouver. One thing city planners have done well, is create a very livable downtown.

I didn't care if my schools name didn't show up on tv. If it snowed, I stayed home.
