    Can you give any more information on this? It’d be insane to be looking for a new arena already.

    Most recent Toyota lounge changes are basically the exact opposite.

    Dark wood. Think classy, rather than gimmicky as ****, like the les years.

    Don't care about renovations, just find a way to get butts in seats.

    I understand the lounges. Those are the high margins and the intimate settings. Were you expecting ENERGY from the lounges? I sure as fuq dont. I expect it from the general audience and thats where I want more lighting to get those lame ass "fans" to get up and make noise. Thats what lighting could do and thats what general audience want, is the "gimmicky as ****" experience.

    When I seat in the lower bowl I feel lonely. Make the cheerleaders fill those seats.

    Lol no, you want that. The general audience doesn’t care.

    The best stadiums to play in aren’t light or dark consistently. I mean, look at LA, the stands are literally dark and nobody complains about the energy level there.

    The energy level has nothing to do with how bright the stadium is.

    Sorry Fertitta, but if your Toyota Center renovations include a Joe's Crab Shack, Rainforest Cafe, and Bubba Gump, and think this will get people in the arena, your sorely misinformed

    I've just always thought the fan seating should be closer to the court...helps get that real home court advantage, IMO.

    I don't worry about bars, restaurants, and all that other stuff. I go to the games to see the game, but I understand why people like those extra amenities.

    TC is way too bright. Honestly, if you want energy, you have to make the seating areas darker. It's basically the same concept as nightclubs or parties, once the lights are dimmed people get crazy.

    I'm just gonna have to agree to disagree with y'all, but okc, Utah, golden state, and formerly sac are all lit up pretty well and are the loudest arenas in the NBA.

    A 3rd championship banner in the rafters section would create a better atmosphere.

    I would love the $14 cup of beer to be like, half of that. You know, normal unreasonable numbers.
