Scotiabank Centre in Halifax looks terrific since they got rid of their bright orange seats and toned it down with a more subdued colour. Now when the place is only half full, you barely notice it.

A good example to look at is the new Little Caesars arena in Detroit, they went with the red seats and Sunday’s game vs Vancouver looked awful. The red seats gave the idea that there was nobody there because they stood out and that’s the last thing you want when you don’t have a sellout is formit to be very noticeable.
