Beautiful. Just another way that the wealthy can get an up close glimpse of the players. Way to go and improve the “fan” experience. Not a fan in sight of this area.

[troymurphy]

lol so if your paying for dinner that costs $100 you can catch a glimpse of the players. sounds very inclusive to all fans.

Don't give the average fan hope. The nicest renos went again to the richest paying customer.

[quonslecn]

Hopefully all the suits really enjoy the experience!
Because I doubt real fans will be able to afford this.

MSLE is all about selling game experience and making profits over winning Championships.

"you'll be able to sit right here and watch scottie barnes and them" then he speaks and says only 200 ppl have access w memberships LOL man was looking for home opener tix for leafs.. like $400 for 300's which is just ridiculous man, NHL has gotta put a cap on ticket prices becasue this is crazy that close to 3/4 of the games are priced out for 3/4 of their fans

I would’ve made the raptors tunnel the visitor hockey tunnel too add few more tables and space down there hope food is included in there

Waste on money. But wait, the ticket buyers will pay for it thru increased ticket prices. How about a major RENO on the team. Fans want a Stanley Cup winners, not a fancy restaurant or a light show throughout the arena.

Maple leaf gardens was better, it really was! The floors were sticky and only hotdogs and pizza ..it was better!

[TylerPennells]

Gorgeous renovations lol here comes the price hike 😂

[deepsweats]

Leafs fans will now only miss the first 5 minutes of the period!

[rickd]

Real fans never get the chance to experience any of this, only the rich.

[thebige]

Worst fans in the league. And that’s because it’s not fans. Mostly suits. Like someone else said. Another reason to stay home.

[jjisrtx]

Yeah the rich corporate fans. The ones they really care about.
