The dream comes to fruition

It is so beautiful - that building at night. That photo blew me away because I thought it looked like a rendering. When following the pics on twitter with the huge windows open, the open feel, the assorted concourse shots. This place is just magnificent.
I am really excited about the STH open house they are gonna have Sept 25 - just can't wait. They're saying it will be "done" then - two weeks ahead of the McCartney concert

Pictures. I want to see pictures. 
My lower seats are an amazing view - dead center. But legroom is not plentiful and the cup holder is a shin buster. Nobody can walk out the row without everybody standing up the let them - just too snug by an inch. But we'll all get used to it. I think the real issue is all the chair padding took up space. If the seats were hard plastic, I'd have that extra leg room.. but I guess it's a tradeoff. For me, the lower level will take more getting used to than the upper level. Will be great for more petite people.
By the way - I'm really happy for Section 101 who I believe bought row A. Row A has comparable legroom to the club seats. If I can relocate to Row A next year I will probably try. But... it's just a bit intimate that's all.

I thought the overhead 4K display was going to be larger -- like the entire length of the structure. It's about half that size. Still looks cool, just smaller than I imagined from what was described months ago.
With regard to the cup holders, I guess whomever said there weren't going to be any was quite wrong.

The concourse on the closed end - lower level - is LIT!! Just beautiful with the vintage neon signs. Nice street taco stand with "3 for $10" plate. Not bad. And got to see the visitor and home locker rooms. Piglet statue was covered up today. I could not find any coffee in the whole arena... that has GOT to be remediated...

I'm shocked how low the upper bowl standing room rail is. I can see a kid running around and going right over.
For those looking at the locker rooms. the smaller one is visitors. The kings have the big chairs.
My son and I went the am. Great experience. This is my 32nd season as a STH. First time using Paratransit. Gra service. My seats 126 J 3&4 were separated from Row I by a metal "fence" which took away knee room and drink holder. Not a good match for my bum knees. Otherwise it was great. Sorry, VF21 , no pictures. The sign shown in one of the pictures above of Franke's Pharmacy was particularly nostalgic for me. My father had a 5 & 10 cent store next door to Franke's from 1933 to 1961. My mother ate lunch at Franke's each workday for decades.
Beautiful place. Lots of good helpful staff. A few service things that need to be tweaked but overall great stuff. Even saw Isaih Cousins through the window to he practice facility.
