[@Post2Post]

We did miss a few teams/arenas accidentally, sorry about that! :( Please accept our sincerest apologies!

[@channelsurfer1225]

At and t center has the spurs

[@callumkemlo1422]

Post2Post The TCC is a lot different now after some recent upgrades. Looks a lot more like a hockey arena.

[@deggy6795]

Post2Post for Iowa wild it's actually Chicago wolves if u look closely

[@siastorm4050]

U left out syracuse crunch

[@Eric-2720]

I even emailed you guys about Syracuse Crunch and why unfortunately we deserve to be last on the list. Building is 54 years, old and hell, they finally made the ice regulation size just a few seasons ago. And so many other reasons.

[@IaHarbour]

random fact: the xl center when the whalers played there and it was the civic center was often called the mall because the arena was in the middle of the mall

[@HayleyKiyokoLineBMT]

as well as huskies of u-conn.

[@waitedseverino2462]

I'm from Connecticut and I agree

[@jefflockwood]

speaking of Malls. If i remember right the Atlanta Flames played at the Omni and that part Mall i guess from what i remember.....

[@StevenAbootman]

"hes a glass man" brent is a legend

[@gdtinio]

AT&T Center is home to the San Antonio Spurs of the NBA so that's why the seats are covered

[@henryhahn9741]

@patchandboo had no idea my new home city had a hockey team lmao

[@rip_city_and_ptfc_fan]

They cared about them so little that they got sold to Vegas then relocated to Henderson Nevada

[@Andrew-ur7il]

Why does the inside of the Iowa Wild arena have Chicago Wolves banners along the rafters? I think you mightve messed that one up.

[@ryanrandazzo7677]

Andrew yeah I've been to Wells Fargo many times. That's no what it's like on the inside.

[@holle78]

Andrew I noticed the same thing. Had to watch those again to be sure...

[@alexlofrano5675]

Andrew yeah I've been to wolves games in Chicago and that's exactly what their inside looks like

[@BHV0810]

Could be AllState Arena

[@PeytonV21]

You can tell by the banners and the same wooden ceiling as the Chicago Wolves

[@josevehvilainen8032]

U guys make great quality videos, really have enjoyed your new and old videos i've been watching these past few months! Love from FINLAND❣

[@christopherpotempa7351]

The Utica Memorial Auditorium has been renamed the Adirondack Bank Center. Also the reason the inside looks similar to MSG is because the suspension cable design was first used at the(then) Utica Memorial Auditorium and inspired the more modern dome designs including MSG. #GoComets

[@dank1280]

Stockton Arena is so cool inside. Not only that, but really passionate fans, and easy access from the city and freeways.

[@Ryguy-lg2xz]

7:30 yep we call them malls in the states you also accidentally used the capital one arena for Hershey

[@DarthCobalt55]

Last year the Jets and Moose played in the MTS Centre. Ever since Bell bought out MTS they changed the name to the Bell MTS Place

[@iamdoofie493]

I live in rockford and work for the Ice hogs and that was a blimp and it Has a camera on it and it Drives around during intermissions

[@frenchfrey65]

Fun fact about Utica, that arena was home to the Movie Slapshot! That was also renovated cuz that arena was also built in the 50's. It's also the smallest arena in the AHL!

[@johnmiller4973]

Bell MTS Place is the downtown arena for the Moose and the Jets seating 15,321 and Bell MTS IcePlex is the practice facility for both teams. The UW-Milwaukee Panther Arena was the home of the Milwaukee Bucks from 1968-1988 when the Bradley Centre opened... Ontario CA is actually east of Los Angeles

[@frenchfrey65]

UW-Milwaukee Panther Arena is old (built in 1950), the Bucks used to play there until the BMO Harris Bradley Center was built in 1988, Admirals used to play there too originally as well, but when the new arena was built, instead of going to the new arena, the Admirals decided to go back to Panther arena. Both arenas are in downtown Milwaukee and Panther Arena serves as an alternate arena for scheduling conflicts and stuff. Otherwise Bucks and Marquette play at Fiserv Forum, Panthers and Admirals play at Panther arena. Funny enough, Milwaukee has a LOT of bowling alleys! Some historic too including the Hollar House.

[@birdbon3s]

Van Andel Arena is such a beautiful rink, hometown team. Really nice views everywhere and there’s great lighting. Such a fun atmosphere

[@ethang8515]

In Tucson the Arena was built in the 1930s, I grew up down there watching the U of A Wildcats for hockey, and the reason for drop ceiling was for a previous renovation in the 70s, to cover up the wear and tear on the building.

[@Post2Post]

Thanks for the comment! I'm not uploading content on this channel anymore, but I would LOVE it if you could subscribe to my current channel kzbin.info where I am making Hockey content now! In fact, since I have stopped uploading on this channel I have created over 800 new videos on the new channel! See you there :)

[@masterwayne420]

I went to the ppl center in February and it's a really beautiful arena! It was built a few years ago but you are right it looks old and new too! Btw great video guys

[@TheFreakout74]

The UW Panther Arena used to be called the Mecca the Milwaukee Bucks Played there way back in the day. Bucks and Admirals moved across the street once the Bradley Center was built. Last Season the Admirals moved back to Mecca (UW Panther Arena). It has been given new lights, seating and sound system, very cool feeling inside the arena neat atmosphere.

[@harjatalonen3467]

*These Arena videos are the best!!* keep it up guys

[@lacetedi1]

That is not the inside of Giant center

[@Post2Post]

We used the images provided to us by someone else.

[@lacetedi1]

Post2Post ok

[@derekweaver6384]

Yeah I noticed that too. I go to at least 3 Bears games a year and I was like "wait a minute"

[@Gary-ct3gp]

yeah it said "AHL Showcase" it was the Verizon Center, which is where the Capitals play, so it would make sense that their AHL Affiliate The Hershey Bears would play there for a game

[@phroggie7626]

Derek Weaver I have season tickets what section are you?

[@counterfit5]

The Dunk used to be called the Providence Civic Center. The glass stuff on the outside is fairly new, and includes a walkway connection to the Rhode Island Convention Center next door, which also links to the Omni hotel and Providence Place Mall.

[@khargo7]

oh man that Stockton Heat arena is beautiful, the landscape sheeeeeesh

[@NICXxX3]

I work for the Rocket de Laval in Quebec, i actually start tomorrow and off course very excited.

[@benzeller3635]

Can you do more AHL videos? I live in Wisconsin which unfortunately still has no NHL team, and it’s cool to see you guys talk about the AHL as the Admirals are in my home town. Keep up the great work with the channel, you have the best hockey channel I’ve ever watched!

[@emsedmeyers]

The inside of the Iowa wild one was the Allstate Arena home of the Chicago wolves

[@jimbo2807]

About to get mauled by Hurricane Irma right now in Florida. Thought the last video I'd watch before my power goes out and or cellular towers fall over would be this one because I love you guys.

[@Post2Post]

+Slim Jim stay safe!

[@wedeni3220]

Post2Post same here man atleast I got my power back

[@PeytonV21]

Wow that's insane. Be Careful man.

[@oiseaubleu3312]

Hope you made it out ok man

[@hichillbois9968]

Slim Jim it was bad

[@Squad10312]

Giant Center is very nice, and quite large with a nice concourse. What's even nicer about it is it's right next door to Hershey Park.

[@snowfan0521]

The admirals used to share an arena with the bucks up until 2016. Both used to play in the Bradley Center in downtown Milwaukee but now the admirals switched arenas to where the UW-Milwaukee college basketball team plays and coming soon the bucks will a new arena themselves.

[@StarsFanStrangeLand]

Just a note about the Texas Stars arena, it is no longer named the Cedar Park Center. H-E-B, a Texas grocery chain, bought the naming rights, so it is now the H-E-B Center at Cedar Park. My parents live 15 minutes from the arena, and it is a very nice place to watch a game. My dad walked in for the first time and called it a mini American Airlines Center.

[@collincalhoun3521]

I’m from Utica, and it’s really cool to see you guys like it. The “fireplace” area you are talking about is an area where they will have special polarities or banquets that people can rent out. I play for the Utica JR Comets, and we get to play and practice there too.

[@Post2Post]

Awesome!

[@johnmiller4973]

Our arena(Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse in Cleveland) is the largest arena in the AHL with a capacity of 18,926 The roofs that you think are wooden are actually steel

[@firebird200]

The XL Center is a mall, same arena as the Whalers

[@hamzeus1239]

Love your videos! 😊

[@ThatOneDude219]

The acoustics inside the Allstate Arena are amazing

[@oiseaubleu3312]

Let’s go Phantoms! Also the PPL Center is called that because we have a company here called Pennsylvania Power & Light

[@MrFungi]

FOR THE UWM PANTHER ARENA ( Milwauke Admirals Arena ) MY DAD WAS IN THE PICTURE

[@maxedoutmamaofthree]

You put the inside of Wells Fargo arena as Allstate Arena and I know this because I am a diehard fan of the Chicago Wolves

[@EpilepticBob]

The covered seats for the AT&T Center are because the arena is the same place where the San Antonio Spurs in the NBA play. I know from personal experience seeing the same thing watching the Seattle Thunderbirds play when they shared the arena with the Seattle Super Sonics.

[@godlybadger]

The Utica comets are in my hometown! What you referred to as a fire place is actually a stage for concerts. The comets also sell out quite frequently meaning the AUD is a great environment!

[@joshuatoews8006]

FYI the jets and moose both play in the bell mts place. But they practice in the bell mts ice plex.

[@stevepettysports]

Blue Cross Arena at the Rochester War Memorial... a classic building!

[@Elliesbow]

Van Andel in Grand Rapids is the most underrated arena in Michigan. Great city great fans great hockey!

[@GodSquadFilms]

I fully agree! I would say they need a new center Jumbotron but that’s it!

[@Elliesbow]

@@GodSquadFilms THANK YOU! It’s so outdated!

[@ashley1460]

I've been to the Mass Mutual Center to see the Springfield Thunderbirds and you can't really tell in the picture but it reminded me of a rink you would find in a high school. It was so small and if you sit farther back it's so dark, there's barely any lighting. I felt so claustrophobic in there😂 But ever year I have season tickets to Hartford Wolfpack and I love their arena, the picture doesn't do it justice. I'm hoping I'll get to visit the Providence Bruins' arena next.

[@TheJremple]

For the Manitoba Moose (and Winnipeg Jets) the arena they play in is Bell MTS Place. The practice facility for both teams is the Bell MTS Iceplex.

[@TheJremple]

and it seats 16,345

[@r.a.9406]

The Utica Memorial Auditorium was designed as a mini replica of MSG. I’ve been to many games there back when we had the Devils. It has recently been renovated and is gorgeous.

[@Hryanw]

So the AT&T center is used primarily for the San Antonio Spurs of the NBA. Growing up in Texas I had no clue that San Antonio had a hockey team until I moved to Colorado (since the rampage are the feeder team for the Avalanche). Hockey isn't popular there so that's why they have the seats curtained off, and also the end is curtained off because the venue wasn't built with hockey in mind or as part of the main use for the arena. Also, they redid the arena and I'm pretty sure they got rid of the random seat colors.

[@brittneyp282]

I have been to the Tucson convention center multiple times as a kid to go to assembly's for jahovahs witnesses. They redid it when the roadrunners came to town. But still looks a lot like the old style. Wish they made it look more modern. Only seats like 10,000.

[@tommyoseneek5810]

The photo you have for the giant centre is accurate the capitals arena during a scrimmage between the bears and the capitals

[@seth.70]

Nice vid 👍

[@dylanmartins7290]

Finally I've been waiting for this

[@justinszukics2282]

PPL Center where the phantoms play is named after Pennsylvania Power and Lighting. PPL. The building in far back of the pick is the PPL headquarters in downtown allentown.

[@adrianwalsh6053]

This is a pertty cool stadiums !!look kind of nice 👌 looking place

[@vinceniederman]

Which AHL Arena is Your Favorite on This List Even Though It’s a Old Video?

[@djdoomsday5792]

That inside photo of Quicken Loans Arena is OLLLLLD. The lighting inside is MUC MUCH MUCH brighter now. And, the score board is MUCH MUCH MUCH MUCH bigger, almost bigger than the Pepsi Center.

[@kalemacpherson9856]

i think Bell also has naming rights now to the MTS Centre in Winnipeg, last i checked it was named Bell-MTS Place so im glad its not just Rogers whos got a hold of the Canadian hockey market

[@82Stepdaddy]

The Utica Aud baby! Awesome place to watch a game. Not very big, but all 4,000 fans are right on top of the ice. BTW, the national anthem scene in the film, "Slapshot" was filmed there..."I'm listening to the F'n song!"

[@briancalifornia]

The valley view center in San Diego is the old San Diego sports arena.. the clippers used to play there

[@claytonw0518]

I love your videos keep em up 👍🏻👍🏻

[@georgepartal9960]

Bell is also the sponsor on the front of of the Vancouver Whitecaps jerseys

[@WX4GPS]

you showed the Allstate Arena for the inside of Wells Fargo arena,

[@jkatz1303]

That's not Wells Fargo Arena where the Iowa Wild play. I've been inside that arena and that's just another pic of the Chicago Wolves arena

[@miker6570]

At 8:45 where you show the exterior of wells fargo arena for the iowa wild. You showed another interior of Alstate arena where the chicago wolves play.

[@DBanjos]

Charlotte Checkers Arena (3:32), there's a Health co add banner there behind the glass saying: 'Opposing team: We'll treat your bruised egos'...i like that.

[@davidfraser4857]

When you looked up Hershey, the arena they were playing in was the Verizon center, now capital one arena, and they played the Norfolk admirals back when they were in the ahl, so that was an old photi

[@plots4]

The interior photo of PPL Center, where the LV Phantoms play, wasnt from the best angle. You could see one side has three levels of suite/club seating, but the other side along with the end (1/2 of the building) has a pretty good size upper bowl. The press box and more suites are at the top, while there is a bar/standing area about 4 sections wide at the top behind the net. Really cool place to watch a game.

[@Post2Post]

[@stevepettysports]

The Utica Memorial Auditorium also in the movie Slapshot! The “fireplace” is a stage for concerts

[@coppha3037]

I remember when Lehigh Valley played in the ADKS. I’m from Lake Placid NY and the Phantoms would play in Glens Falls and it would be such an easy trip for a game. I wish they wouldn’t have left.

[@brianschlaf5996]

I have been to a IceHogs home game and lots of them and they awesome games!

[@StingWrayMedia]

Ooooh if you loved the Allstate Arena (Chicago Wolves. Look up our intro for every game. You would be scared to know how it does not catch fire since there is a wood roofing.

[@matbarzalzachwilsonjacobde781]

Fun fact the Giant Center was built the same was the old Hershey park arena was built on the exterior.

[@Tazbev84]

Random fact about the MassMutual center. It's also a convention space as well. The space along Main st. Holds the Convention part and the space behind the convention area is the actual arena

[@ericdushek3955]

To add on to Gary Mainz Jr's comment, The UW-Milwaukee Panther Arena is also home to the Major Arena Soccer League team Milwaukee Wave, and obviously many UW-Milwaukee Athletics

[@stevenlukes3056]

san Antonio's stadium has curtained off seats because its also home to the spurs NBA team and the hockey team wouldn't fill up them all

[@justjack9849]

And the arena is kinda build for basketball and not hockey.

[@scottschaffner5761]

The PPL Center is named after the electric company in Allentown, PA. That company is Pennsylvania Power and Lights. The old mixed with new for the outside is because the architect saved a historic building that is a hotel.

[@cntslesfabrication]

The Springfield Thunderbirds arena the screen in the middle of the arena moves up and down by 4 huge winches so it can be used for different types of events

[@johnmiller4973]

The better façade of the Arena at Harbour Yard is the back side which faces Long Island Sound.. Bojangles Coliseum has been the home of every professional hockey franchise to call Charlotte home all of them have held the name Checkers since 1956

[@lukewarmwater6338]

I love the Giant Center (where the Hershey Bears play) because it is right in front of Hershey Park.

[@tims2804]

Hey guys! Just thought I'd let you know that the pic for the Wells Fargo Arena (Iowa Wild) the inside is actually a picture from the inside of the Allstate Arena (Chicago Wolves). You can tell by the "DePaul" blue devils banners and the wolves championship banners... No hate, just thought I'd let you know!

[@joemccall1044]

The Allstate arena is not just for hockey 1. Hockey 2. Basketball 3. Football 4. Monster cars 5. Figure skating

[@goldenireland8708]

Inside arena for Iowa was Chicago Arena, And for Bears you put Verizon inside pic. And most beautiful are Wolwes Arena, Place Bell, Charlotte Arena, PPL Center, Milwaukee Arena, Ontario Reign Arena, Stockton Arena,Texas Arena, Tucson Arena, Utica Arena.

[@loganallison7305]

The Iowa Wild inside photo is not the actual arena. Wells Fargo seats are red and in the top right it shows some DePaul banners, a college in Chicago.

[@iiverrocity5372]

Love that Dunder Mifflin reference😂😂

[@hunterwilder9665]

I’ve been to an Iowa Wild hockey game at Wells Fargo Arena and that picture actually made it look smaller than what it feels

[@Post2Post]

[@stevesavage4296]

I have season tickets to the Providence bruins. No donuts...only one size coffee and it's 5$....but when Jeremy Jacobs owns the concession stands what do you expect.....that man could pinch a Penny til Abe Lincoln taps out

[@nickbonk755]

The interior shot of Giant Center in Hershey false. The interior is shot is of Verizon Center (now Capitol One) Center. Also, false is the interior of Wells Fargo Arena. Shown is Allstate in Chicago

[@PlebeBVR]

I will still never ever call the Gulls' home the Valley View Casino Center, most older folks still call it the San Diego Sports Arena :P and yes, it is pretty big inside lol

[@cartermacewen3086]

The interior picture you showed of Giant Arena was actually Capital One Arena, where the Washington Capitals play.

[@Hakuna65Matata]

PPL Center has 2 levels of suits and the club box/seats are part of the lower bowl

[@southeastwisconsinaviation7472]

The MKE Wave(indoor soccer) and UWM Basketball play at the Panther Arena.

[@yinztigators5552]

I have been to the giant center to see the Hershey bears play the Manitoba moose.

[@Jetsfanc0098]

The Moose and Jets do play in the exact same arena, all year. The "BellMTS Place" was recently renamed, which causes for confusion (formerly the MTS Centre). The BellMTS Iceplex is a practice facility, not big enough to host a game.

[@patar519]

Giants center interior shot is the Verizon Center. DC lottery sign in top right corner, Verizon logo under jumbotron. And the capitol building in between the two tv's on the jumbo tron. And it's the same seat layout as the Verizon Center. Plus I know the Giant Centers seating looks completely different on inside.

[@Post2Post]

The images were provided to us by someone else.

[@cobysamphir8607]

The jets and moose both play at the BellMts Place. When one is home the other is on the road. The BellMts Iceplex is the practice arena

[@chazen00]

The indoor photo for the giant center, was the Washington caps building

[@Post2Post]

Thanks for the comment! I'm actually not uploading content on this channel anymore, but I would love it if you could subscribe to my current channel Post2Post Productions where I am making more Hockey content on a daily basis! kzbin.info

[@HockeyMap]

Love this

[@tdotson95]

Bojangles Coliseum is awesome not a bad seat in there, its also very historic in the Charlotte area, over 50 years old

[@henrylight7889]

2:19 are we gonna get an AHL Jumbotron video?! Just kidding but I still think it's funny that you ranked the screens. Love the videos keep up the great work

[@thomasgallagher7092]

The XLCenter is formally the Hartford CC where the Whalers played. It was affectionately known as The Mall to fans and announcers because its in an actual shopping mall

[@ariccua6101]

Funny thing is that you didn't mention the Hartford Whalers during the part of the XL Center because that was where they used to play.

[@jasonhorowitz216]

FYI, PPL is an energy company in the Lehigh Valley, hence, the PPL Center.

[@quix9556]

The XL Center where the Wolf Pack play in fact was home of the Hartford Whalers of the NHL.
