Obviously inspired by if not borrowed from Pelli.
How could they not see that they were designing a toilet bowl?
I'd suggest they work with it. Make it convertible, have the lid lift up, put a giant swimming pool under the flooring, etc. |

The team currently does play in Oakland so they are kinda used to a toilet bowl. |

Someone had the guts to say no? I wish someone had said no to our rolled permanently water stained duck tape smush swirl design. I love that it's there but it gets uglier each time I see it.

Not me. Can't tell you how many times I've had out-of-town visitors comment to me how much they like the design. And how much more roomy the entire building is compared to just about any other arena its size. I've been to alot. Walking ScottTrade Center (St Louis) concourse makes you feel like your moving in a sardine cane. At least with ours, the design is functional. But that's just me and my visitor's opinions. It elicits reaction for sure. |

I'm actually a fan (except for the smudge). |

I went last Saturday (Oiler open house) looked like they had been cleaning the facade. I saw repel lines and didnt' see any streaks of note. |

No complaints about the interior. It's great. The exterior is hideous, especially with the constant stains. Even a different material would be a massive upgrade. How was it not known at the time that it would stain constantly? |

That was a constant criticism even before the first panels were laid. |

I would agree about the stains, but as I noted, they looked like they'd been cleaned. This building with the 8 percent incline from top to bottom doesn't lend itself to shedding water properly, especially with all the interlocking panels. I thought early on I'd read that the would clean them twice a year. I'm not so sure they've been keeping that up. |

I recall that the blame for the staining was placed on the use of the wrong appoxy in the joints between the panels and that it was supposed to be changed out at some point. It's been a while, so that is relying on a foggy memory. |

I've seen them clean it then start showing stains within a matter of weeks. It's just sad in my opinion. |
