Inside the Venue At A Glance

01

Mixed

Arrival & transportation

Downtown offers several directions of approach, but closures and paid lots make a mapped destination more reliable than improvisation.

02

Mixed

Seat & section strategy

The relatively compact bowl keeps hockey close, while concert floor and rear-stage closures change the best value.

03

Positive

Event-day character
