"The survey saw thousands of responses from all the markets across the NHL, with 30 percent of the responses coming from fans who were season ticket holders in either partial or full capacity. The arenas were broken into four separate categories: location, amenities, atmosphere and affordability. The fan score, coming from the four factors, accounted for 80 percent of the overall score, while the beat writers for The Athletic who cover each team took the final 20 percent."
"Scotiabank Arena was ranked 13th overall by the beat writers, while fans had a very different opinion, ranking the home of the Maple Leafs 30th overall. The overall final score amounted to 5.8 out of 10, only beating Rogers Arena, home of the Vancouver Canucks, Crypto.com Arena, home of the Los Angeles Kings, KeyBank Center, home of the Buffalo Sabres and Canadian Tire Centre, home of the Ottawa Senators. It's somewhat of an indictment against the Maple Leafs' corporate crowd that occupy the lower bowl."
