I was at Artpark last night for a concert and I ran into my friend that puts in the AC/Heat for the First Niagara Center(HSBC arena).. He and his family's business does work in every part of the stadium and is very familiar with the entire place(before remodeling and after).. He says it is INSANE what they are doing to the place and to just wait till the pictures and videos come out when remodeling is done.. Only one of the lockers is finished(Pominvilles) but it's as good as you can get.. Their is a raised area in the locker room where Lindy can stand up there and, as he joked, point at shout at the players.. Everything in the new place is the best of the best and he thinks no doubt this will encourage guys on other teams to want to become Sabres..

To say he was enthusiastic about the changes is quite an understatement.. Really can't wait to see the finished product..

Arena, center, stadium? Pick one! (But don't pick stadium. That's just wrong.)

It is called the center, but calling it the center sounds weird.. and it's not an arena anymore.. So stadium was fine.. Who cares though?

It's not a stadium though. A stadium is open aired and much larger. FNC is an arena.

And now it's closed. Why? That's right. It was in-doors.

Sorry, VanekKing. When I think stadium, I think open aired and large buildings.

They should have a locker room tour when it's all finished.

Ya no way you can call any building where NHL players play a stadium unless it's the winter classic of course.

Stadiums are in baseball and football and not hockey. You call them arenas in hockey

I feel like I should go there soon and get my final picture with my mural pic. I have a feeling it will be gone soon.

If anyone gets their hands on video/photos of the new-and-improved FNC, please post them!

I never really have enough time to hunt them down, but I love seeing it. :)
