Seven years ago the entertainment venue was announced as having 5000 seats, then later reduced to 4200, and apparently now back up to 5000?

The image shows the seating to be the same college gymnasium-like arrangement (and mentions sports events) as the multi-purpose Rama and Pickering venues, with a flat floor and straight grandstand. If that's "state of the art", then the art isn't in a very good state. It's disappointing, since I was hoping for and expecting a theatre like the new 5000-seat Fallsview venue with sloped orchestra and curved balconies. Toronto has lacked a venue like that for as long as I can remember, while we have no shortage of arenas of various sizes that are poor concert venues because they were built for sports.

Edit: BTW --Though not ideal, a big theatre can be used for sports requiring a floor as large as a basketball court if the stage is big enough, as shown by Radio City Music Hall.

Wow really? it's still VERY much under construction.
We have not had photos in ages. If there's any chance you (or anyone else reading this) can pop by with a camera, it would be great if you could empty your battery up here!
