What it feels like

A vibrant hockey experience with a mix of corporate and casual fan culture. The atmosphere is electric during home games, with fans filling the lower bowl and upper deck sections. The geometry is steep in the upper levels, making for an immersive viewing experience despite the limited sightlines from the top rows.

Seating tiers

Lower bowl

Rows General rows

The best seats for game-day action, with clear sightlines and minimal obstructions. Ideal for fans seeking a premium experience.

Mid-level seating

Rows General rows

Good balance of proximity to the ice and comfort. The upper mid-level rows offer a more relaxed viewing experience with better sightlines than the upper deck.

Upper deck

Rows General rows

Steep seating with limited sightlines, especially in the corners. Still provides an immersive atmosphere but may not be ideal for those seeking a clear view of the game.

Sections we'd pick

Lower bowl the lower rows between the goal lines for optimal viewing and fan interaction.

Sections we'd skip

Lower bowl corners. Sideline depth can pinch the view, especially during key plays.
Upper deck and above on windy days due to open sightlines that make the cold more biting.
