For those who think my comments are related to some PC bias just drop in on the PC Board and read what they are saying. Same as me. It is an embarrassment.
Not sure why there is always this jump to PC Haters or Lovers - the issue is the Facility - Providence's own Dunkin Donuts Center - and the fact that the GM is even denying that the Facility itself has any culpability is why this happened last year and will continue to happen

Exactly what I thought and there were some good recruits there tonight
Yup. It's embarrassing. Akok Akok was there. Not good.
Driscoll spoke after the game and he said that he’s been working with the Dunk for the last two days trying to get ahead of this.
Time to Uncle Larry Lepore to get the R.I. govt to cough up some money for a new insulated floor and a new dehumidifier.
This can't keep happening. It's bush league. Get the proper insulation. Someone at least had the ac pumping before the game as a band aid.
Total embarrassment. Everyone knew and everyone remembered last year. Poor planning. It rivals the HORRIBLE concession lines whenever there’s more than 8,000 people at the game. Sh*t show!
I don’t know, how does Dallas do it? How does LA do it? I’m sure there is extra material or padding that can be used to insulate the floors

You would think the fact it happened last year the Dunk would upgrade the current infrastructure. The cure isn’t to jack up the AC and hoping that will regulate the temperature. I could see it sneaking up on you once, but twice in back-to-back years? Sure there is some flukiness to it but find the cure to prevent the fluke.
With the high tech insulation you can buy these days, there really is no excuse other than the state won’t spend a few grand to upgrade.

For the second year in a row PC has had a condensation issue tonight leading to suspension of the game...you would think Dunk management has an obligation to correct to prevent...no other Eastern arena with hockey and basketball has this issue...embarassing...

Remember similar situations happening several times over the years at different arenas. But it was an odd, fluky thing. Just seems odd to have back to back years where it's a major problem at the Dunk.
