Anyone been to Prov. Civic Center recently?

[ZOOTB]

I have a question on Rows. I've seen where there is a row G and GG. Single and double letter rows. Also, from pictures it looks like the lower section is actually 2 lower sections. The question is: is row G closer to the floor than GG. I'm thinking the lower sec is A-Z, then the upper lower is AA-ZZ. Does anyone know? I haven't been there since like 85. Thanks...

Ya, I know, but I can't get used to calling it that yet.

By the way, for those going to Providence, if you'd like to see the view from your section, I found a good site for that: http://www.geocities.com/Colosseum/Court/3146/project2.html

Double letter rows are closer to the floor in Donutland. I think the first row is either CC or DD, it goes back to LL I believe then the single lettered rows start at A. Its all one section, lower rows are double lettered.

Thanks Hewson...That sucks..I have row G and was thinking that it was closer to the floor than GG.....figures...

G should be about 16 rows from the floor.

I'm definitely NOT sure on this-but I think double letter rows are closer to the floor than single letter rows.

The seating chart is so bad-maybe you could call them.

The last time I was there was 92 for ZOO TV-I didn't have great seats-but it was still a better venue than Boston as far as sight lines and sound-of course, that was the old Garden then.

And I CANNOT bring myself to call it THE Dunkin' Donuts Center-that has to be the LAMEST arena name ever!!

Do any sports teams call it home? That must be intimidating to other teams, playing at the 'DONUT CENTER'!!!

Hey Hewson, didn't you mention once that you had right next to the stage for one of the shows on 1st leg. Or maybe it was someone else. I have right next to the stage for Providence and was wondering what it was like? Sec. 119.....

 

[Hewson]

I was right next to stage in Fleetcenter, Loge 20, listed as "side stage" just like 119 in Providence would be (I got a pair in 111, same view opposite side), U2's stage sets so far back in the arena to accomodate the heart you will likely be in line with the front of the main stage, the seats are excellent. Only difference is they were $85 on first leg. Someone wised up and made them $130 on this leg.


Johnny: For sports, the Bruins farm team, Providence Bruins, play at The Donut Center, and sometimes Providence College moves hoop games tehre when expecting bigger crowds than campus facility can handle.
