What does the new Key Arena have that the Moda Center currently doesn't?

Been a while since I have been in Moda. Climate Pledge is actually quite nice. They have twin video screens instead of one that function quite well. The club seats are pretty plush and have their own private eating/drink area with exclusive options. The area between seating and exterior is pretty nice and unique with flora and fauna in the walls. The bottom floor has its own area with a large bar and seating area to watch the event near the bar instead of at your seat. It is not exclusive and is open to all seating.

This would be a pretty cool idea. If they kept the same look exactly, but just expanded it, I wonder if they get around the National Historic Register restrictions?
Would be pretty cool to have light streaming in during day games, and views of the skyline, or the night lights through the windows.

Climate Pledge Arena sounds like it offers a modern and comfortable experience with unique design touches. The mix of exclusive areas and open spaces gives fans plenty of options to enjoy events beyond just their seats.

Eddie Murphy Raw was considered to be very adult material back then.

It still is. I was talking to a few kids 18-19ish years old. I asked them if they knew Eddie Murphey and they said yes of course. They knew Dr dolittle and of course his role in Shrek but had no idea about Raw or Delirious. So me being the bad parental influence that i am decided that they should be educated about where Eddie Murphey came from.
This was quite a event for them. They literally told me that was BAD! They cannot believe people thought that was funny. Just the gay jokes alone set them off let alone the woman berating and flat out cussing. Making fun of women from Africa (Gooney GooHoo) and Norton and Ralphie Boy.
No Question the world has changed.

Maybe we can get this some traction!

They could totally add onto it and keep it the same design.

Um, how is that different than the 200 level currently at the RG?

It's much newer and nicer and has a more modern look and feel.

Oh, I get that. I just meant the 200 level already has that option (and it'd be easy to upgrade it).

the 300 level is probably the worst of the 3 areas, it always felt cramped and like you were at the county fair (in the sense of industrial and not really welcoming).

In about 5th grade I started listening to my dad’s Eddie Murphy/Red Foxx/Richard Pryor albums in the basement. Had those things memorized by high school.

It might not be different. I haven’t been to Moda in years. I have been in Seattle since 2010. I was just commenting on the upgrades made to Key Arena
 
I was looking at the features of the newest nba stadium in LA and some of the features are crazy. They have noise detectors and if you make enough noise at half time you get exclusive deals in the second half for discounts on food or merch. There are controllers to play certain games featured on the halo video board above the stadium that you can play. The halo video board is fairly unique. There are USB ports in the seats. So, that's all kind of crazy, but I wonder if some of this will catch on.
 
For the average fan, I do not think much will change with a new stadium. When I went to the Laker game, it was nice to have food options outside of the stadium and room in the concourse to move. It is hard to get anywhere at Moda currently. The Pacers arena was built years ago and is the same in regards to food options outside plus space. Did a tour of the Rams/Chargers stadium and believe this is why there is a big push for a new arena. Comfortable seating and exclusive clubs that are particular to your seating location. Every seat was designed to have full view of the field as well as the jumbotron. For the owner, there was huge space to develop around it. That complex has the Clippers new arena, housing, the football stadium, the NFL West headquarters, and is still not anywhere near being complete.

For me, I just want something easy to get to, park, and enjoy the game. Currently, it can be tough on all three issues. Where they build will be critical and whether they pack us in like sardines in the more economical sections. Really miss when MGB's were still affordably priced.
 
You can’t teach newness. The Rose Garden is 30 years old. A new arena will be zero years old.
