Met Center was an amazing building. As a kid the excitement would build as you exited 494 at Cedar Avenue and the building would suddenly appear. The multi color seats were mesmerizing and it was such a shame when Norm covered them in red. There wasn’t a bad seat in the place and it had the best ice in the NHL.

Is this video supposed to be a build up to a lengthy documentary; ie a trailer? It ended kind if abruptly. I feel like there's more to be shown and discussed.
