Well, at least I saw it once. It will be interesting to find out where 
the new venue is. T may not have seen it in its glory days, but I really 
don't have fond memories of the HARA arena, mainly because I went to the 
bathroom there once, and had to fight a stuck door to get back out of 
the stall. The facilities had maintenance issues.

I think any venue large enough to handle the crowd must be a little more 
maintained than the HARA arena was.
