Lower bowl seating: 12903, middle bowl seating: 3568, 300 level rows one through nine seating: 3440, nosebleeds (blue chairs) seating: 3528, loge seating: 1332, skylounge restaurant capacity: 248.

This design reaps all the benefits of the hyperbolic paraboloid saddle shape without any of the drawbacks regarding concourse design, or convenience. Benefits such as significantly reduced energy consumption due to the comparatively low volume inside the arena, the majority of fan seating maintaining the desirable centre ice position, or the fact that the roof design encourages the use of the unique gondola style skylonge make this a unique and uncompromising design.
