The New Air Canada Centre
The Toronto Maple Leafs are
scheduled to move to the new Air Canada Centre in February of
1999.
The Air Canada Centre, located right
in the downtown core, will be a world-class sports and
entertainment facility and will be the premier arena for
professional hockey and basketball in North America. Designed
with the fans in mind, the focus is on intimacy and customer
experience. The seating capacity for hockey will be 19,500
(including 1,500 fans in 150 Suites and 300 in Standing Room)
with excellent sight-lines throughout.
The facility will also house a club
restaurant and bar with a view of the ice. There will be
televisions throughout the building, including all washrooms. One
percent of seating in the building has been designed for the
disabled, offering physically-challenged individuals a choice of
various ticket prices.
The Air Canada Centre will have all
of the characteristics of a first-class, technology-advanced
facility while maintaining the spirit and legend associated with
that of Maple Leaf Gardens.
Here is a picture of the interior of the new building.
