The rink has 10 luxury boxes lining the east wall , and has 8 foot high glass surrounding the entire ice surface . The rink employs angled lights for the benefit of players in sports such as volleyball , so the lights do not shine into their eyes , and the scoreboard retracts into the rafters quite easily for shows requiring a high ceiling , such as a Monster Truck event . There is also a running track at the top of the seating bowl . These features make no difference for the game of hockey , but make the facility much more attractive in its mission of being a multifunction facility . The secondary ice surface consists of a 200 x 85 Ft ( 61 x 26 m ) rink , as well as bleacher style seating for approximately 700 people . The secondary ice surface opened March 2 2007 .
