Colin226 Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 (edited) I honestly don't understand how the renovations cost $1 billion, it's mind-blowing. And I'm in construction/design. For a point of reference, Prudential Center cost $375 million, from the ground up. I'd have to think that a lot of the costs were simply around logistics.. They had to replace the arena piece by piece and all over a bustling train station in a crowded city.. Not to mention they rushed every summer with employees working 24/7 to get it done, so I'm sure they paid a lot of time and a half So based on that, my guess is that $1 billion figure is pretty inflated and MSG loves throwing it out there for the publicity of looking like big shots.. We all know how they love to toot their own horn (some call it borderline brainwashing) about how amazingly famous and incredible the Garden is Edited September 22, 2014 by Colin226 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It all comes back to Dolan and the type of guy he is, which is why there would be any over-counting of any kind, for "marketing". How great is it for account managers at New York Rangers/Knicks to offer their corporate accounts boxes "in a billion dollar building". Those Wall Street firms eat that sh!t up all day.

thefiestygoat Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 Looking forward to seeing Larsson, Gelinas, Severson, Havlat and Boucher. Havlat is a neutral zone whiz and should help with entries Never bothered to check until you pointed this out, but last year Havlat had a 61% zone entry with control rate and he had the lowest rate of failed entries amongst Sharks (via Fear the Fin). Sure he had a smaller sample size than a lot of the Sharks but it's still encouraging to see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kulags Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 In case anyone's wondering, signing up for GameCenter will not give you access to a stream of tonight's game. Just tried.
