I wrote a little about this last year after the Gonzaga game, but I found that arena to be awful. The biggest negative thing in my view was the VERY VERY steep stairs from the concourses to the seats. Frankly, I'm surprised I haven't seen any news reports of people tumbling down those stairs. Because of my leg problems and unsteadiness caused by Long COVID, I won't take a chance again on the stairs there. The only way I'd consider going to the Arizona game is if I can get handicapped persons' seating to avoid those treacherous stairs.
(Other things I disliked there were the long lines and bizarre "security" set-up to just get in, the obnoxious "music" and sound effects, and those ridiculously stupid light shows emanating from all the seats.)
Oh, and speaking of ridiculously stupid, I'm astonished that they would schedule that game for a Friday evening. It's a big game involving two CBB powerhouses, and locals will have to fight horrid Friday rush-hour traffic to get there, AND it's going to start at 9 or 10 p.m. for viewers in the East?? Idiotic.
