from Tony Gallagher of the Vancouver Province,

A long time Vancouver Canucks fan who says his motivation is to help the team says the organization could do much better if it sought the help of a feng shui master to offset some of the disastrous effects of the location of Rogers Arena.

Tan Nhut is a longtime Vancouver resident of Vietnamese birth who insists there are two huge problems with the location of the building, one being with the main entrance facing south opposite False Creek, and then bigger problem, the two viaducts that bring about forces coming so close to the building they strangle the life out of it.

While this is all a bit much for a Westerner to get his head around, and there won’t be any extensive explanations here, Nhut says he has been trying to bring it to the attention of the Canuck ownership for a while now because he feels the two problems are so significant that the team will never have ultimate success unless there are remedial steps taken to offset the forces at work.

Large roads, particularly one way streets, evidently aim forces at a building, which is why feng shui followers will not purchase a house if it stands directly at the end of a long street.
