Is Energy Solutions Arena obsolete?

You can be in the upper bowl and still see well. The way the building was built helps keep noise levels way high too.

If you want your pansie *** "nice" arenas, go to LA and visit Staples. That thing was built for anything but Basketball.

You're not going to reach a consensus. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

I guess back to the original question....is ESA obsolete?

No. It's a great place to see a basketball game even though it's ugly as sin.
It's a hallowed temple where we practice our religion.
A belief we all share.

It's definitely not the most beautiful of the NBA arenas from the outside, but it's far from the worst. Check out the Target Center: Barf.

I've been to about half a dozen NBA arenas (some of them no longer in use), of those I think Radium Stadium is by far the best.
