Hamilton's stadium has a history behind it. Let's not make a new stadium, Just upgrade it. I suggest we make the capacity from 17,685 to nice round number of 20,000! It would benefit the franchise and the fans!
The stadium would live up to its name as a coliseum. We would be adding not only more seats, but more VIP stuff. More food and snack bars. Heck. Even a few more bars! Make everyone happy with the changes. All the new fans and old fans would be able to all fit under the new roof of Coops Coliseum! And all this is possible with our new sponsors! New Sponsors are Nike, Bud Light, Papa Johns (who will get his own restaurant in the arena) and KFC! (KFC will also be getting a new restaurant in the arena!) Happy to announce these new sponsors and changes! Welcome to the arena!

Since relocating Anchorage has played in the Sullivan center. Due to the rapid nature of the relocation it was necessary to move into an existing venue. However being the only major sports team in the region where there is a population of over 250,000 people means that the capacity of 6,290 is inadequate. The arena is also 35 years old and is starting to show the signs of wear and tear. With the harbor being a major part of Anchorages landscape it made sense to relocate the franchise downtown to a waterfront stadium.

The new stadium will be shaped like a ship hull and be the prominent feature of the city. A new capacity of 16,000 will allow more residents to support the team as well as increasing revenue for the burgeoning team. Bigger dressing rooms for both home and away teams as well as state of the art conditioning and practice facilities will help boost the profile and abilities of the players that represent the Armada.

Rextall Place needs some serious upgrades and Teddy Cuddles, winger and alternate captain on the Edmonton Blizzard has some great ideas to help renovate it and make it a lot better. The first thing that Rextall Place needs is free porn. Everyone needs free porn, its for the whole family! You should be handed a tablet when you walk into the building with the ability imputting commands. These commands would show you all different types of explicit images of any category. All you have to do is type in “bbboobs” or “bbass” etc, and you have all the uncensored content you could ever dream of! Adding this would easily make the Rextall Place the best arena in the entire SHL, and it will be the envy of the entire league. There will never be a game where the Blizzard do not sell out because of this million dollar idea. You’re welcome Edmonton

So Manhattan has exactly zero chance of changing where they play hockey. Madison Square Garden might be the single most iconic arena venue in North America, and the Rage are truly honored to be a part of the history of that great arena. The only other arena in the area is the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, but that wouldn't work for a few reasons. First and foremost, it's in Brooklyn. We're not the Brooklyn Rage, we're the Manhattan Rage. Brooklyn Rage sounds terrible and if we were to move to the Barclays Center, it would require a full rebrand, maybe something like the Brooklyn Bats. Considering we just switched to the fantastic logo we have now, I would be extremely disappointed and frustrated if we were forced to change again. Second reason, the Barclays Center is absolutely terrible as a hockey arena. The Islanders hated it, the crowd hated it, and it was just a poor decision from that franchise that I hope we wouldn't repeat. All in all, I highly am opposed to changing arenas for the Rage. Maybe we could upgrade the seat cushions or something at the Garden, that would be a good move.

Detroit's JetBlue Arena is historic, rooted in the deep traditions of the long-standing SMJHL team. Championships have been won, records set, and careers started in the vaulted halls. That said, the sponsorship deal between ownership and JetBlue expires in March, at the beginning of the fiscal year. There is much speculation over the future of the stadium, but three front-runners for naming rights have emerged:

JetBlue
JetBlue still has significant interest in naming rights to the Detroit arena, but with declining profits and a stock price nearing a 52-week low, financial experts wonder if JetBlue has the liquid funds to negotiate with ownership. JetBlue remains in the running, but they will be hard-pressed to make the highest bid without selling off assets or increasing public investment.

General Motors
Reeling from public relations nightmare after public relations nightmare, outsourcing work and facing a labor dispute, General Motors could use the good press of a ribbon-cutting. The only question is whether Detroit ownership is willing to formally align with an embattled company.

Little Caesars
The national budget pizza chain has showed interest in public naming projects over the last decade, but you have to wonder how seriously Detroit fans would take a pizza-themed arena. This would never happen...right?

Burn it down. There's a lot of infamous history here. A lot of unfortunate seasons spent in this place. It's almost haunted now. The arena needs to be demolished, bulldozed to the ground. A new state of the art facility is needed for this Seattle team. There's a culture shift in Seattle and the arena ought to reflect it. There should be a prioritization on having a complete night spent at and around the arena. Bars, shops, restaurants and hotels are needed on this new facility. A new stadium for Seattle could help be the catalyst that this franchise needs. For a long time, it seems to have been treading water. Now, with new management, Seattle has well thought out goals and ambitions. A new arena that has improved sight lines and fan experiences could really boost the Seattle fan base that has been disappointed for far too long.

Prospera Place is honestly complete shit. I've always questioned why Kelowna has sports teams when you have dumpster facilities like we do, but I guess someone handed us a semi professional sports team and was like fuck it just put them in a barn and tell them to go mad. I wouldn't even bother renovating the stadium, I would tear it down and build a completely new one in it's ashes. I would have magnificent sprawling viewing areas and huge accomadations for large scale events and what not and make it a place that people actually want to be, not just somewhere they have to go in order to watch their favorite team play. I would call the newly renovated center the Christmas Center, and I would donate a bunch of the revenue made by the stadium to the Children's Wish Foundation in support of all the families going through tough times.

The American Airlines arena in Miami has been the home of the West Kendall Platoon for 45 seasons already. And yet, for all its use it is still in solid condition. That being said, it could use a bit of refurbishing on the inside. One notable aspect that needs major improvement is the seating, or more specifically the seats themselves that could use an upgrade. Refurbishing the seating would let the arena be able to seat a few more people and much more comfortably than before. It would also allow for the creation of handicapped seating areas near the corner entrances of the lower bowl.
The upper bowl facilities, such as food stands, fan zones and restrooms will also be upgraded in order to provide a more streamlined and engaging experience for all. Furthermore, all halls in the lower, middle and upper bowls will have photos and memorabilia of the Platoon throughout the past season exhibited

Pacific Coliseum

Playing there for a glorious 3 seasons has made me love Vancouver and this arena. The stadium is kinda old, it was build around 40 years ago and has only been upgraded 10 years ago to add more parking and some improvements to the stadium. I propose we upgrade the stadium into the 21st century. Im talking about improvements everywhere. More people are coming out to see us, so we should offer more parking for our fans. Inside we should make deluxe box offices for our high paying members as well as upgrading our seats to make them more comfortable and accessible to everyone. For our players, we should upgrade our ice, I've played on it, its alright but some other teams ice is better, so we should get better. We should also bring in more food venders to add some more variety to our food options. We should also use the 21st century and offer rides to and from the stadium so our customers can get to the game easily. I also think that we should add a couple new sponsors to the arena to pay for the high costs. I think that we should get Skittles to get a piece of the action by having different colored pucks every period. We can also get coca cola to sponsor the arena's funplex for during the intermissions the children can play while the adults can buy their drinks and foods in peace. Thank yuo for listening to my ideas and hopefully we can make the Pacific Coliseum a better stadium for everyone
