And it wasn’t just that I felt like a big shot as I sat with reporters from major newspapers in the luxurious press box of a brand new arena.Most of this feel came from details that actually bore no relation to the game. Instead, I couldn’t help but notice the numerous advertisements on the boards, sponsored giveaways, and attempts to keep the fans entertained during stoppages of play.
