For the last 75 years, the Aud has been the place where our community shows up to celebrate, cheer, and connect. It's a place where local pride comes to life and where memories are made generation after generation after generation. >> I've been coming to the Aud since I was 5 [music] years old. Every day after school, my dad and I would walk in the front doors and watch the Rangers practice. He would point to the plaque at the box office and say, "This is a living memorial to those people. It's a living tribute to those who have served and are serving for the cost of freedom." >> It was built in the early '50s, [music] built out in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by farmland. >> Although we've had so many expansions and additions to the building, there are still pieces that feel very authentic to the history. There is a connection to the community, and people feel home when they come here. >> Some people have religious experiences going into buildings. There's a a feeling that's here. A familiarity that comforts on. It's like going home to a home-cooked meal. The history speaks for itself, but also knowing that it's embracing the future, and I think that's part of it. >> It's hard to put the words together that would describe it, but when the Rangers score, the energy [music] that comes down from the crowd, I think if I was ever having a heart attack, it would be better than a defibrillator. >> [music] >> As our community grows and expands, there is more opportunities to have events that appeal to different sections of the cultures. >> The city has continued to invest in the facility. We've added suites, we've expanded the seating, we've replaced the seating, we've replaced the ice surface. >> It's not just for Rangers fans, it's not just for hockey fans, it's for the entire community. >> [music] >> Here's a place we can all come together and be together. >> There's so much nostalgia here. [music] You come to a game and you see how all the fans are they interact with each other. They've been coming here forever. It's a real family atmosphere, but [music] it's pretty exciting at the same time. >> This is where my son went to his very first rock concert. It's where one of my other sons got to play on the ice as a Timbit for the very first time. My wife has been coming since she was a kid with her mom and dad. We have so many firsts here and I look forward to continuing to experience firsts and seconds here as my family grows. >> We trained here and it helped us make it to the Alliance Championships. >> I used to come fairly often to the Rangers. They used to let you in early if you wanted to have a beer. They always short on seats, but I found me myself a beer. >> I just smell the popcorn, the cotton candy, all the delicious stuff. >> I've been coming for over 40 years. I met my husband here, so that's a bonus. >> I remember taking my shirt off, waving it around at birthday parties, going in the Rangers dressing room and stuff. There's so much that I remember about this building through being a kid. I wouldn't put anything above it. >> [music] >> It's hard to describe. I would just say this is a really special place. It holds so many memories in the building and in my heart.
