Quote ="chico's nose"There can be big issues with the ice surface especially when they have such little time to prepare for a game. It is not as simple as removing/relaying basketball courts, there is also the removal or repositioning of around 2500 seats and moving nets and plexi glass etc. The logistics involved is pretty impressive, regardless of peoples interest in US sports.
I am pretty sure there will be threads popping once again should we make it to the play offs and have a home game the same week as Hull Fair again or should we find ourselves in a similar position to Wigan last week where they almost had to give up home advantage in the cup because of football. I posted the example above to highlight what can be achieved at multi use stadia, if clubs are pulling in the same direction.
I can wait for the Allams to prove how accommodating they are in the future should there be any potential issues

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying its easy or not impressive. It's just a completely separate issue.
If the field gets knackered, you can't just dig it up and relay it in a day. That's why the issues are different. In reality, you'd need a pitch like at Widnes for any issues to be forgotten about.
