Purple progress

Stopped by the Verizon Wireless Center on Thursday afternoon to check out the progress and snap a few pictures. Purple makes a rather dramatic difference from the old red and blue seats. The new boards are being installed as well. I can only assume they'll be flooding and painting the ice soon. For some short video clips on the progress, go here.

More than half the new seats are in place, and most of the new boards have been set up.
Pallets of Plexiglass are in the middle of the rink ready to go.

The Verizon Wireless Center's center sections (Blue Line Club) feature padded seats.

A dump truck gets ready to haul away a load of the civic center's old red chairs. 

Workers marked the floor-plan after getting the correct pieces of the new boards and glass in place.
