Boart Longyear Memorial Gardens

Best seats

Big roof beams block the video board from upper seats on the east and west sides, so stay in rows H or lower for a clear view. A few rows of rinkside seats sit right on the glass.

Parking

There's an on-site lot off Chippewa Street, with 38 accessible spaces (14 out front, 24 in the north lot toward the YMCA). Arrive early, since spots are first come, first served.

Getting there

100 Chippewa Street West, just west of the Highway 11/17 bypass, so it's easy to reach by car.

Bar scene

The Hall of Fame Lounge inside the arena is the main place for a drink on game night; plan to drive to restaurants around town before or after.
