Last Sunday I had the privilege of attending the grand opening of the Town Toyota Center. As I pulled up to the building 30 minutes before start time, I was struck by the long line of cars waiting for their spot in the parking lot. It was the event of the year.

I purposely selected a seat about halfway up in the stands. I wanted to get a perspective on what it might be like to watch a show with a general ticket. I was incredibly impressed by the acoustics and the fact that there truly does not appear to be a bad seat in the house. From my seat, I could see the ceremony perfectly, while feeling like I was close enough to the ice to practically reach out and touch it.

I believe we’re lucky to have such a state-of-the-art facility in our neighborhood and I can’t wait to catch my first show at the new Town Toyota Center.
