I'm hearing conflicting stories. Some say there will be numerous TV's facing the seats so everyone can watch the replays. Other people tell me there are just a few TV's in the lobby. When I was at the scrimmage I saw no evidence of TV's being installed anywhere. Anyone have the actual story.

Actually both are correct. There are four big screen facing the seats and there will be TV's in the lobby area's.

Will they be like the screens that the Barrie Molson Centre had installed a few years ago? Here is a link to a picture of the Barrie Molson Centre. The screen is visible in the corner. More info about the Barrie Molson Centre can be found at www.ohlarenaguide.com/colts.htm

When I was at the scrimmages on Wednesday, I talked to the tradesman that was doing the wiring around the inside of the arena walkways. He told me exactly what dogfan indicates. The TV 's will be installed just prior to the first league game. He was annoyed that the order was put into his company only last week ( from Wednesday) and it was put in as a rush order.

That would be awesome if we could have screens like the one in barrie. It would also be awesome if we could someday have an arena like barrie. From the pictures and the description on that website, it looks very nice.

I lived there the year they held the Allstar game and it is actually one of the most unique arenas I have been in. I love the concourses under the seats it feels like a big league arena.

I was at the Jack yesterday (Sunday) to watch the Dogs and then the Falcons practices, and noticed there are new lights on the side girdders. I assume for the TV coverage. Also noticed there are new hookups for TV cameras looking down over the nets. Goal replays perhaps? Further note, the seats are hard and uncomfortable! However, I'll be in one the watch both teams!!

I have received confirmation that 4 large screens will indeed by set-up to allow fans to view replays, etc. from their seats. This should really add to the excitement of watching OHL hockey.

This is great to hear. I go to the Bulldogs game occasionally and its nice to be able to watch replays on a screen. Where will the screens be positioned. Will they somehow be attached to the scoreboard at centre ice.

I believe they will be at the sides, close to the corners. Basically one in each corner or atleast this is how they are set up in Barrie.
