I would but it's on a Sunday and I have to go to work the next morn. I've going to have to just watch it on TV :(

I've been to Key Arena. Was utterly unimpressed with it.
Was dank and grey, very grey. Cement all over, even the walls. Only nice area was the lobby. And their nose bleeds literally was right under the roof. Ugly arena. And from what I've seen of that forum you've been on unimpressed w/their hypocritical fans.

Smacktalk is fine but when you insult the city and the residents just to be petty children you come across as ignorant :mad:

Hey "old witch" since you've been in Key Arena can you tell me where the visiting team
bench is ? If you are in the stands facing the benches are the visitors to the right or to the left. In Arco the visitors are on the left, in LA they are on the right...catch my drift.
Yea the fans are obnoxious on that site, but I just want to see the Monarchs beat them on their home turf.

You'd want tix on the right hand side because that's where the visiting bench was when we went (in my PM back to you I said you'd want the left hand side. sorry typed too fast lol)

Be wary of their seats. Someone on that forum was making fun of our seats at ARCO, that they were plastic? Their seats are tiny, and I mean TINY!!!. We were in the lower level and the seats were terrible. Much smaller than our upper level seats. I was actually p'd off because I bought the lower level tix so that we could have better seats, not the case.

I'd take ARCO over Key Arena anyday.

You'll want section 115 to be directly behind the Monarchs' bench, 117 and 118 are in the corner to the right of the visiting bench.

And of all the WNBA arenas I've been to - Rose Garden (back in the Fire days), Staples, America West, Target Center, Arco and the Key - believe me when I say Arco is the worst - seating, lighting, overall condition. The Rose Garden has the best scoreboards, Staples has the worst. The Key has the best seating angle (meaning even in the higher rows, you have a better view) while Staples has the best concourse. The Key has the best lighting while America West has the worst. But overall, I'm sorry but Arco doesn't match up. After watching both NBA and WNBA games on tv for years, I was, as you say, utterly unimpressed.

OH keep dreaming. :rolleyes: That was a terrible set up at Key Arena. I wouldn't spend any more of my money there. The lower level seats I spent over $100 for each and it was basically at the same viewing as the bottom of our lower level.

And what's pretty funny is even the media says ARCO is one of the best. Our arena is set up like a college arena. I have heard absolutely nothing said about Key. It's nonexistent in the public eye.

And I suggest that if you want to trash our area/arena, take it to your trash talking, childish, petty ignorant forum.

Maybe when she said 'seating' she was cracking on the plastic chairs again? I know she wasn't talking about the viewing angles, which are far superior to most Arenas. There is an Arena which has won the JD Powers award for best fan experience a couple of times, and it isn't Key;)

Thanks for the seat info.
See you in Seattle.
May the winners be gracious and the loosers capable of supporting the winner in the next round.

I'll take Arco over ANY arena anyday.

There's not a single 'bad' seat in Arco, even the standing room.

I am talking about the view and the atmosphere. But isn't the view and atmosphere the most important when you are in a game?

If you want a 'comfortable' seat, go to watch a movie.
