Thanks Chris.
That matches my original understanding of it, minus the legal mumbo jumbo.
An interesting article on the matter … http://drawsketch.about.com/cs/resource … ight_2.htm

” title=”Tongue” />No Chris. There have been many good developments in Dunedin since the 1920’s.
The most important developments in chronological order:
[list:14nbi4vq][*:14nbi4vq]~1926’ish Botanical Gardens built[/*:m:14nbi4vq]
[*:14nbi4vq]~1970 George St Junior school ground asphalted[/*:m:14nbi4vq]
[*:14nbi4vq]~1990 Big Chill built[/*:m:14nbi4vq]
[*:14nbi4vq]~2003 Big Chill demolished[/*:m:14nbi4vq]
[*:14nbi4vq]~2005 Dunedin Ice Stadium built[/*:m:14nbi4vq]
[*:14nbi4vq]~2006 Curling rink built[/*:m:14nbi4vq]
[*:14nbi4vq]~2008 (predicted) Massive stadium and other fancy ass stuff put in Dunedin Ice Stadium[/*:m:14nbi4vq][/list:u:14nbi4vq]"Kyle":23nnroy1 wrote:If this goes ahead, we’re going to end up with the best facilities in… probably the southern hemisphere.[/quote:23nnroy1]I thought we already had that. Is there a better arena somewhere you know of?

Ah, well if it’s been approved then that’s sweet as. Just wanted to check in case the NZIHL/SIHL got landed with a copyright/trademark infringement notice or something like that.
The NHL teams can afford to pay to copy logos so they could get around such issues fairly easily.
Chris, just out of interest, what exactly constitutes copyright infringment/trademark (or whatever it’s called) in this type of situation?
Ryan W mentioned about a 10% rule last year which I thought was bollocks until one of the marketing people from the NZIHL (who pointed out the Stockton Thunder logo to me originally) said that there was such a rule. However she also said that she didn’t believe the Dunedin Thunder logo would fit under the 10% margin (however that is determined) hence I’ve posted the question here.
That deserves a ROFLMAO, lol.
Most sports stadiums use temporary seating for major events. Unless you are going to be using them on a regular basis (once per year doesn’t count as regularly in my books) it’s cheaper to bring temporary stands.
Some decent permanent seating behind the scorebox/players benches wouldn’t go amiss though and would be handy for big hockey games and figure skating events which get quite a lot of spectators. The big concrete ones aren’t in the best position unfortunately. However I also know nothing – hence all my questions above.
Channel 9 contacted me today asking about the details on the new construction, to which I replied with a good old NFI. I told them to phone Neil and hopefully he’d know more than I. So we may get to find out the details via the massive media giant that is Channel 9 Dunedin if we’re lucky <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/smiley.gif" alt="

"leftright":3k084x9s wrote:Television rights money will pay for temporary seating.[/quote:3k084x9s]Is it just the one on top of the curling rink which is temporary? Or will the new one drawn behind the players benches be temporary too and replaced with old one afterwards?

Meaning the one behind the players benches? If so, and it gets pushed up to the glass, where will the players benches go?
One big ass rubber dinghy coming your way!
Either that or I’ll dress you up like a Chinaman and sic Obama on to you.
Mary McCutcheon is listed as being a member of the Dunedin Penguins on the official IIHF team roster. Is this correct?
And it looks like Alyx is not playing for them this time.
