What it feels like
A mix of family-friendly and hardcore hockey culture. The atmosphere is electric during games, especially when the Ducks are playing well. The bowl's steep geometry ensures a close-up experience, with excellent sightlines in the lower rows.
Seating tiers
Lower bowl
Rows General rowsBest for game-day excitement and clear sightlines. the lower rows offer the most comfortable seating with padded chairs.
Mid-level
Rows General rowsGood compromise between lower and upper sections, with better sightlines than the upper deck.
Upper deck
Rows General rowsClose to the action but can get crowded. the lower rows are the most accessible for tailgating and pre-game activities.
Sections we'd pick
- Lower bowl between the goal lines, the lower rows, for a dynamic game-day experience.
- Mid-level sections around the corners of the rink, offering good sightlines and easy access to concessions.
- Upper deck behind the goal for crowd energy and a closer view of the action.
Sections we'd skip
- Lower bowl corners. Sideline depth can be pinched, reducing the field of vision.
