Agreed. I've filmed plenty of hockey games the last several years at the Proctor rink. Yes, Proctor Hockey needs a new home rink for sure....Proctor Hockey wrote:Duluth News Tribune article about the proposed new Arena in Proctor. Let's hope we can get it done.

I would agree with that. The only reason I can think of for not having it that way is the added expense of adding an elevator to make it handicap accessible.TheHockeyDJ wrote:I'm curious to know what the design is like. When spending that kind of money on a new facility I hope they don't commit tragic errors of some rinks such as putting a walkway between the boards and the first row of seating. The first row should be like at Heritage or the IRA Civic Center, slammed up against the boards and glass and the walkways should ALWAYS be behind the last row of seating.
Looks awesome! What season would it be ready for if the referendum passes?Proctor Hockey wrote:Here are links to what the Arena will look like from the outside and also the floor plan.

The earliest estimate from one of the contractors is that it would be ready in December of 2017. That seems a little bit ambitious but I suppose is doable. It might be safer to assume the 2018-2019 season.kniven wrote:Looks awesome!

Thanks Blue! We're optimistic, but you never know for sure how these things will go.blueblood wrote:Good luck Proctor. Looks like a great rink
We'll take any help we can get!blueblood wrote:Get Lee pumping up the community
Something tells me a post on this bored won't have much pull when determining the layout of the new arena.TheHockeyDJ wrote:You should really reconsider the walkway, and no you don't need an elevator to have adequate ADA seating. The ADA seating could go at the corners elevated a couple feet via a ramp and platform. I would think sightlines would be something to take pride in when building a new venue. A walkway in front of the first row will be the worst option no matter what. No one likes to have people constantly obstructing their view for visits to the restroom or concessions.

Plenty of Greyhounds alum in Proctor Lee. Everyone is welcome. And I like German Chocolate if you're buying!east hockey wrote:Are you kidding? They still see me as an outsider, a Cake.blueblood wrote:Get Lee pumping up the community

I guess it's something I've never thought of personally, but that's probably because I always sit up high when I go to games. I don't like watching through glass if I don't have to. I will pass on the suggestion to those with the ability to change it. Could be something people don't think about.TheHockeyDJ wrote:You should really reconsider the walkway, and no you don't need an elevator to have adequate ADA seating.

Great for Proctor Hockey but whatever architect put the player boxes on the same side of the already small seating has no idea what they are doing... And locker rooms sharing a hallway and bathrooms with crowd flow + no separate player/ team entrance... If you're going to spend 10 million, have a hockey arena adviser making sure it gets done rightkniven wrote:Well done Proctor!elliott70 wrote:Congrats!Proctor Hockey wrote:Referendum Passes.

There won't be any crowd flow by the Youth Locker Rooms and Rest rooms. That is the player entrance and a Vestibule for players/coaches only. The Main entrance is on the opposite side of the Arena, that is where the public rest rooms are. High School locker rooms have their own rest rooms. I have yet to see crowd flow be a problem at a youth game in 40 years, but I suppose that would be a good problem to have.goaline wrote:Great for Proctor Hockey but whatever architect put the player boxes on the same side of the already small seating has no idea what they are doing...

crowd flow means your fans use the same hallways and common spaces as the players -- poor designProctor Hockey wrote:There won't be any crowd flow by the Youth Locker Rooms and Rest rooms.

Good point. I do know that the design is not final yet, so maybe that can still be addressed.goaline wrote:crowd flow means your fans use the same hallways and common spaces as the players -- poor designProctor Hockey wrote:There won't be any crowd flow by the Youth Locker Rooms and Rest rooms.

Its not too late to put the players boxes opposite the seating and sightline issues
